Nice mix! the Sing Sing Sing version you have is actually by Benny Goodman :) The Louis Prima version doesn't swing NEARLY as hard!

It's off the Swing Kids soundtrack, and that is who they have listed...

They have the song listed as "written by Louis Prima", which is correct, he wrote the original version in 1936 or so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGM2HPM6BDc
; however, they didn't credit the performance properly as this arrangement was composed and performed by Benny Goodman and his band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S1I_ien6A. For some reason, they didn't properly attribute the performances on many of the older tracks; the Shout and Feel It version on Swing Kids OST is also performed by Benny Goodman even though the original version was by Count Basie.

Put the Blame on Mame was actually sung by Anita Ellis, Rita Hayworth was dubbed in Gilda. She didn't actually sing it.
