Looking for show Big Band music

[stanlp]

I'm trying to find the big band music from the show specifically the tunes led by Phil Harris (Merrick).
There's one song in particular that I love that was listed on my satellite as Umbrella Man but when I found it, it was a sappy tune sung by Dennis.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Umbrella Man was a big hit for Kay Kyser in the late 30s/early 40s. You can find the lyrics here (ain't the internet great) - http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/ly ... la_man.txt

I don't remember hearing Phil's orchestra perform it but I can't see it as a Dennis Day song. Phil, yes; but not Dennis.

Hi, here are two versions of 1939's "Umbrella Man" on YouTube. The first is the hit record by Kay Kyser's band, sung by Harry Babbitt and Ginny Simms. Kay Kyser does one of his trademark spoken introductions, as well as a nice spoken interlude.

The second is from an actual 1939 British 78 rpm record, by "Flanagan and Allen".

The Kay Kyser recording is fairly easy to find on compact discs.

Hi, Roman. Yes, Phil did it. And either Dennis or Kenny did it as well (i'd have to look it up in Laura's book). The only reason I recognised it is because the song was in a number of 1930s Warners cartoons.
