About Music! Music! Music!

"Music! Music! Music! (Put Another Nickel In)" is a popular song written by Stephen Weiss and Bernie Baum and published in 1949. The first recording of the song was by Etienne Paree with Eddie "Piano" Miller, released by Rainbow Records in 1949 in the United States, titled "Put Another Nickel In - Music, Music, Music (The Nickelodeon Song)". The biggest-selling version of the song was recorded by Teresa Brewer with the Dixieland All Stars on 20 December 1949, and released in 1950 by London Records as catalog number 604. It became a number 1 hit and a million-seller in 1950. It became Brewer's signature song and earned her the nickname "Miss Music". New York radio host Gene Rayburn arranged for Teresa Brewer to record it, and it was released as the B side to Copenhagen. Rayburn then promoted Music! Music! Music! on his radio show, thus creating the hit. Then it was recorded by many artists on various labels. Some radio stations refused to play the record because of the thought that the lyric "I'd do anything for you/Anything you'd want me to" might be construed as indecent.

In the nickelodeon
All I want is having you
And music, music, music

I'd do anything for you
Anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissing you
And music, music, music

The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're danciong close to me

So, put another nickel in
