Fibber McGee and Molly – New Years Eve Party With Fred Waring. ep497, 461231

A black and white photograph of Fibber McGee and Molly, a couple from a popular radio show of the same name. They are standing in front of a closet that has been opened, with clothes and other items spilling out onto the floor. Fibber is holding a mop and wearing an apron, while Molly looks on with a smile on her face. The overall effect is one of humor and domesticity, with the couple's playful antics and cluttered living space providing a snapshot of life in mid-century America in 1948.

OK, it’s not really Fibber and Molly, but as promised in last week’s episode, this is the replacement program featuring Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, while Fibber and Molly take the evening off. Fred Wareing takes over with a musical show.

Playlist:

  • Zippety Doo Dah.
  • Manhattan Serenade.
  • Fred takes it to the street for a word about the song, Auld Lang Syne.
  • Word on the street suggests a modernization of the Scottish classic, and Fred comes back with a jazzy Auld Lang Syne.
  • Reflections are made on the coming of the new year, and what it means is verbalized. New Hope.
  • You’ll Never Walk Alone.
  • Beyond the Blue Horizon, which melts into a chorus of Auld Lang Syne
