Written by Irving Berlin for the Movie "Holiday Inn" and in the movie sung by Bing Crosby
You probably won't find this scene from the movie on you tube or many of the movie channels as the scene is usually deleted for being racist. It's a scene in the movie that shows a black face minstrel show. That's to bad, it's a great scene.
(Let's not discuss that here)

A jazzed up dance routine using the same music by Vera Ellen and John Brascia for the movie "White Christmas" in 1954 (also with Bing Crosby)

Hard to believe its the same tune (I had to quit watching them dance to believe it)

Yup-has been removed from the movie for the “racism.”
