Harry Langdon gets top billing over the models in this recording of the title song in the soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
Actually that isn't Harry's voice that the great comic was lip-syncing to. It the voice of Cliff Nazarro, a double-talk comedian of the era.
