In this live TV performance, the Chordettes, who are frequently likened to a barbershop quartet, show off their skills. Do you recall all of the songâs âbum-bum-bumsâ? Youâll be astounded to learn that each member of the group sings a single âbumâ in rapid succession. How did they accomplish that without a hitch?
Even as the racially explicit lyrics beg Mr. Sandman to bring them a handsome man to bed with, these womenâs charm and long, proper gowns evoke a sense of past properness.
In a humorous scene created specifically for this performance, Mr. Sandman himself shows up on screen to take their call, and heâs incredibly attractive and youthful. Even as you swoon to the sound of the iconic âMr. Sandman,â youâll laugh at this insert shot.
