OK, this is only for the really old people...
Does anyone recall watching "Your Hit Parade"?
I remember "Cross Over the Bridge" by Patti
Page being on it for several weeks.
Your Hit Parade was a weekly network television
program that aired from 1950 to 1959... The TV
version featured the top seven tunes of the week
and several Lucky Strike extras... The television
Hit Parade attempted to dramatize each song with
innovative skits, elaborate sets, and a large
entourage of performers. Creating new skits for
longer running popular songs proved much more
difficult on television, particularly when we recall
such hits from the period as "How Much Is That
Doggie In the Window" and "Shrimp Boats Are
Coming."

One of my favorites when I was a kid - I had the record (I think it was a little 78RPM jobbie).
Another favorite ..... Mairzy dotes. I probably drove my mom nuts singing that one.
