I want to hear the song "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

Search: boogie woogie bugle boy

Why: It is #6 in the Top 25 Songs of the Century. I don't think I've ever heard it. (The totally weird list is part of an education project by the RIAA, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Scholastic that aims to "promote a better understanding of America’s musical and cultural heritage" in American schools.)

Answer: Embedding is disabled, but here is a link. I was right - I've never heard it.

Apologies, but here is a version by Bette Midler dressed as a mermaid:
