This novelty record took off for #1 so rapidly that the small National label wasn’t able to keep up with the demand; so they worked out an agreement with Mercury Records, who took over part of the manufacturing and distribution responsibilities. Thus, if you spend much time scrounging for old 78s, you’re likely to find this same recording on two different labels.

Dooley Wilson – Knock On Wood（1943/1946 78 version）
with piano and rhythm accompaniment

recorded in Los Angeles October 11, 1943
Both of them sung by Dooley as ‘Sam’ in “Casablanca,” this and the A-side “As Time Goes By” were new studio versions which couldn’t be recorded until 10½ months after the movie opened, due to the ongoing AFM musicians union strike. But then the tracks sat on the Decca shelf for more than two years before this Specialty Series 78 was released commercially in early 1946. The identity of Wilson’s spoken partner on this recording is neither shown on the label nor listed in any of the various sources that I’ve consulted. Anyone?

vocal: Joy Hodges

recorded in Los Angeles December 11, 1936
Some melodic echoes of “A Blues Serenade” are here on a tune from Paramount’s “College Holiday,” which starred such funny people as Jack Benny （murdering “Love In Bloom” on his fiddle）, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Martha Raye.

Ted Weems and his Orchestra with vocal choruses – Knock! Knock! Who’s There（1936）
recorded in Chicago August 6, 1936

The now-familiar’knock-knock’ joke was a humor form that developed during the mid-1930s and really caught on in 1936. The Weems band has fun with this #8 “Hit Parade” song.
