Songs
Most of the songs in the movie were 1930s hits that Etting had recorded originally. Two new songs, however, were written specifically for the film: "Never Look Back", by Chilton Price, and, "I'll Never Stop Loving You", by Nicholas Brodzsky and Sammy Cahn.
The songs as they appear in the film (all sung by Doris Day except as shown):
- Ten Cents a Dance
- I'm Sitting on Top of the World (sung by Claude Stroud)
- It All Depends On You
- You Made Me Love You
- Stay On the Right Side Sister
- Everybody Loves My Baby (But My Baby Loves Nobody But Me)
- Mean To Me
- Sam, the Old Accordion Man
- Shaking the Blues Away (sung by Doris Day, danced by Doris Day and Chorus)
- I'll Never Stop Loving You
- Never Look Back
- Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue
- At Sundown
- My Blue Heaven
- Love Me or Leave Me

Famous quotes containing the word songs:
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
—Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)
