The Beauty Contest, Season 1, Episode 2

Our *new* theme music (excuse the bit of excess noise) is from Season 3, Episode 18, “Come On and Marry Me, Bill,” and we used the part where Julia and Mary Jo are singing to Charlene. The original song is called “My Buddy” and has been sung by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Doris Day and Barbara Streisand.Gus Kahn wrote it in 1922 and Walter Donaldson did the music. Thanks to the folks on this message board for the information.
