Hosted by Francis Langford, who was just voted as one of the 10 most important women of the war effort.
Francis gets the show started when she sings, Shoo Shoo Baby.
Spike Jones appears upon request from the mailbag. Spike and his City Slickers sing, Shine Little Glow Worm. Phillus Brooks has returned from her South Pacific trip, and reads from the mailbag.
Francis reads more from the mailbag, gotta love those crazy nicknames. The Reviewers, a comedy and singing team, of 2 guys and 2 gals, do their thing as they tell a story about how to write a song, by joking and singing about it.
Francis introduces Jimmy Wakely who then sings, Mexicali Rose. There’s more mail to be read, and Francis is just the one to do it.
Next up is Virginia OBrian to sing, Man on the Flying Trapeze, slightly modified in honor of the war effort.
Francis calls Spike back out to perform the latest comedy song for the war, SNAFU.
Finally, Francis Langford sings, No Fun til My Baby Comes Home. She parts with a few words for the troops.
