Johnny Got a Zero
#1

One of my listeners brought this to my attention. Am looking to obtain a copy today, but in the interim, here's some interesting facts:

The song "Johnny Got a Zero" was released as sheet music in 1943, lyrics by Mack David and music by Vee Lawnhurst, and topped out at #4 on the Variety list for the week of April 28.

I know the music is including in at least one video on YouTube, but if anyone finds a copy of the original from 1943, so I can download it, let me know okay! Just gave a quick look today, but gotta run right now...

 

Many thanks,
