   My post about Baby It’s Cold Outside: … the Ricardo Montalban and Esther Williams version of the song that appeared in the 1949 film Neptune’s Daughter. Subsequently, I learned that Red Skelton and Betty Garrett reprise the song in the same film.

   The Montleban-Williams version was recorded, but it was not the first one released. That honor went to Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark, one day before Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer, and BOTH of those recordings charted on the same day.

   One of the best versions was done by Louis Armstrong with Velma Middleton. http://www.rogerogreen.com/2009/01/04/my-musical-obsessions/

   Great episode! I can’t say I like all the music you played, but I did find the chronological order an interesting angle.

   I don’t know whether or not you are concerned with this kind of thing, but in case you are, and for your own future reference, you’re pronouncing Meaghan Smith’s name wrong. She pronounces it MEE-gan.

   I was surprised to not see “We Three Kings” on the list, especially considering how well Blondie covered it in 2009.
