Ted Lewis did the first recording of the song in 1930 (Catalog #2144-D), followed by Harry Richman (Catalog # 4747) and both enjoyed hit records with the song.
The song was featured in the 1991 film JFK,[6] the 1995 film Father of the Bride Part II, in an episode of the sitcom Frasier[7] and in the fourth episode of the fourth season of Northern Exposure,[8] in 1992.[9] It was also used in the fourteenth episode of the third season of Cheers,[10] in 1985,[11] where several characters each sing part of the song one after the other, as if by contagion, after walking past each other.
