This is a good example of a song title that gets me excited. When browsing through LPs or 78s from this era, you come across a lot of yawn-inducing stuff like "I'll Be Yours Forever" or "Take Me In Your Arms." Now, I'm as much a fan of the great Tin Pan Alley songs as anyone, but I get a special tingle in my toes when I stumble on a "Calling Dr. Mancuso" among the moons and Junes. This track is a hard-swinging number recorded live during the musicians' recording strike of 1948. Hampton's instrumental sides of this period are particularly invigorating and this one is no exception.
