Fantastic Videos of Railroading Songs - Chattanooga Choo Choo
Pardon me boy, Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? Track twenty nine, Boy, you can gimme a shine. I can afford, To board a Chattanooga choo choo. I`ve got my fare, And just a trifle to spare.
Chattanooga Choo Choo by Glenn Miller Orchestra
From the film "Sun Valley Serenade" (1941), featuring Glenn Miller Orchestra, Tex Beneke, Paula Kelly and The Modernaires. A great video right from the movie. Seems to get cut off...but see the Dorthy Dandridge video below.

Also from the film "Sun Valley Serenade" (1941), vocals and dancing with Dorthy Dandridge and featuring the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This pick up right where the above Glenn Miller video leaves off.

This is Frances Langford and the Modernairres performing for the troops. From the film "The Glen Miller Story" (1954) starring Jimmy Stewart.
Chattanooga Choo Choo by Tex Beneke
Here is Tex Beneke in a great video of the classic sung on stage with an orchestra and back up singers.
Chattanooga Choo Choo by Bill Haley
A great recording of Bill Haley and Haley's Comets singing the classic. Shown with a still of the 45 mixed with photos Bill. Just a little bit more rock and roll than the other versions with guitar and drums replacing the those horns. Still has the classic lyrics and back up singers.
