Hot Time in the Town of Berlin
"(There'll Be a)
Hot Time in the Town of Berlin
(When the Yanks Go Marching In)" is a 1943 song with music and lyrics by Joe Bushkin and John DeVries, published by Barton Music Corp.
The song was originally recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters on June 30, 1944 and reached number one on the top 100 U.S. songs of 1944.
The song was introduced on Frank Sinatra's CBS radio show and became popular due to its patriotic lyrics, swinging rhythm, and its orchestral arrangement.
It would later appear as war propaganda in the Warner Bros. short film, "Road to Victory", where it was performed by Sinatra himself.
The Crosby / Andrews Sisters version was later used on the soundtrack of the 1977 film "Tracks".
The cover illustration was designed by Albert Barbelle and features Uncle Sam's arm and hand holding a paintbrush with red paint.

Joe Bushkin
Joe Bushkin (November 7, 1916 – November 3, 2004) was an American jazz pianist.
Born in New York City, Bushkin began his career by playing trumpet and piano with New York City dance bands, including Frank LaMare's Band at the Roseland Ballroom in Brooklyn.
He joined Bunny Berigan's band in 1935, played with Eddie Condon from 1936–37, and with Max Kaminsky and Joe Marsala, before rejoining Berigan in 1938.
He then left to join Muggsy Spanier's Ragtime Band in 1939.
From the late 1930s through to the late 1940s he also worked with Tommy Dorsey & Eddie Condon on records, radio and television.
He worked with Dorsey for Bing Crosby in 1940 on The Road To Morocco soundtrack and several commercial sessions.
Wartime United States army air corp turned him back into a trumpeter; he also recorded with Lester Young on piano and directed music for Moss Hart’s morale-booster Winged Victory on Broadway for six months before serving in the South Pacific.
After his service in World War II he worked with Louis Armstrong, Bud Freeman and Benny Goodman.
Bushkin performed with Louis Armstrong and his All Stars with Velma Middleton singing vocals for the famed ninth Cavalcade of Jazz concert
held at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.
The concert was produced by Leon Hefflin, Sr.
on June 7, 1953.
Also featured that day were Roy Brown and his Orchestra, Don Tosti and His Mexican Jazzmen, Earl Bostic, Nat "King" Cole, and Shorty Rogers and his Orchestra.
He married Francice Netcher, elder sister of socialite Mollie Wilmot.
The couple had four children – Nina, Maria, Terasa, and Christina.
They lived in Santa Barbara, California, on a ranch.
His best-known composition might be "Oh!
Look at Me Now", with John DeVries, written when he worked in Tommy Dorsey's band.
That song would become Frank Sinatra's second hit and one of his most enduring songs right after "Polkadots & Moonbeams."
One of Bushkin's television appearances was on a thirty-minute Judy Garland musical special produced for the General Electric Theater which aired on April 8, 1956 on the CBS Television Network.
According to Coyne Steven Sanders, author of the book "Rainbow's End: The Judy Garland Show", Bushkin was a last-minute replacement for the classic pianist Leonard Pennario.
On that program, he accompanied Garland on piano as she sang the songs Last Night When We Were Young and Life
Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.
(Sanders, Coyne Steven, "Rainbow's End:
The Judy Garland Show" pgs.
20-21 - Zebra Books - Kensington Publishing Company).
In his 60s, Bushkin's semi-retirement was ended by an offer from Bing Crosby for them to tour together in 1976 and 1977; Bushkin also appeared on Crosby's 1975 Christmas TV special with Fred Astaire.
He also performed in a concert series at New York's St. Regis hotel in 1984 that celebrated his 50 years in show business.
Bushkin died in Santa Barbara, California, in 2004.
"He had hoped to live to 88, as a piano had 88 keys."
