In its most famous performance, it was blended in with passages from Chu Berry's "Christopher Columbus." The declaration that "music brightens up my day" and the order to "stick around, shake it down" were in the lyrics written to be performed by Helen Ward, but ironically this piece made its name as an instrumental instead. Louis Prima composed the music for this song, which was performed as the finale of its band's renowned 1938 concert at Carnegie Hall, featuring epic solos on the piano by Jess Stacy and on the drums by Gene Krupa.
