Skip ahead to 24:55. Nifty.

Or waatch the whole episode. Edgar Bergen was a funny MF.

Just to be clear, the credits say "music arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol," not that he himself wrote the music. Also, Gil Fuller was pretty notorious back in the day for farming out work to ghosts and billing it as his own. Finally, DeVol wrote a pretty scary song (words and music) for no less a film than "Kiss Me Deadly" -- "I'd Rather Have the Blues Than What I've Got.' Check out the version on Audrey Morris' album "Film Noir":

Just to be more clear, the names are used in the consumer, not historical, sense.
