Mr. Sandman

Today's iTunes purchase: "Mr. Sandman" (1954), written by Pat Ballard and performed by The Chordettes. The song is a toe-tapping melange of scat, pop, big band, jazz, and barbershop quartette (and a guaranteed two-minute cure for melancholy). Contains the immortal rhyme:

Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
