Jingle, Jangle, Jingle

"Jingle, Jangle, Jingle" is a song broadcast on Radio New Vegas $$ It was also used in the Fallout: New Vegas E3 trailer.

Background
It was written by Frank Loesser (lyrics) and Joseph J. Lilley (music) in 1942 for the film The Forest Rangers. Though the Kay Kyser orchestra recorded a number of different versions of the song, the version of the song in the game was recorded in 1942 with lead vocals by Harry Babbitt and Julie Conway.

May 21, 1942

Session Personnel: Kay Kyser (director), Ish Kabibble (Merwyn Bogue, trumpet, vocals), Bobby Guy (trumpet), Bob Fleming (trumpet), Harry Thomas (trombone), Max Williams (trombone, vocals), Jack Martin (alto saxophone, vocals), Noni Bernardi (alto saxophone), Heinie Gunkler (clarinet), Willard Brady (tenor saxophone), Sully Mason (baritone saxophone, vocals), Lyman Gandee (piano), Roc Hillman (guitar), Don Whittaker (bass), Lloyd Snow (bass), Eddie Shea (drums), Harry Babbitt (lead vocals), Dorothy Dunn (vocals), Trudy Erwin (vocals), Julie Conway (lead vocals), George Duning (arranger) (New York)
 * Released on Columbia Records. In the opening line "they'll be no wedding bells for today", Harry Babbitt sings it without pausing. This is the version used in Fallout: New Vegas.

August, 25, 1961

Session Personnel: Ish Kabibble (trumpet, vocals), Jack Martin (soprano sax, vocals), Harry Babbitt (lead vocals), Michael Douglas (vocals), Ginny Simms (vocals), Sully Mason (vocals), Trudy Irwin (vocals), Gloria Wood (vocals), Stan Freberg (narrator, select tracks), George Duning (arranger) (Hollywood, California)
 * Released on Capitol Records for the album Kay Kyser's Greatest Hits. Unlike the 1942 version, Harry Babbitt pauses briefly while singing the opening line "they'll be no wedding bells for today".

The 1962 Capitol Records version is sometimes mistaken for the version used in Fallout: New Vegas although it is not used. Although many of the same personnel were present at both recording sessions (without Kay Kyser) and Harry Babbitt reprised his lead vocal role, Trudy Erwin substitutes for Julie Conway in the 1962 version. However, the Kay Kyser's Greatest Hits album also features the version of "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" used in Fallout 76.

Lyrics
Yippie yay There'll be no weddin' bells for today

'Cause I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle Jingle, jangle As I go ridin' merrily along Jingle, jangle And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" Jingle, jangle And that song ain't so very far from wrong Jingle, jangle

Oh, Lillie Belle Oh, Lillie Belle Oh, Lillie Belle Oh, Lillie Belle Though I may have done some foolin' This is why I never fell

'Cause I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle Jingle, jangle As I go ridin' merrily along Jingle, jangle And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" Jingle, jangle And that song ain't so very far from wrong Jingle, jangle

(instrumental break)

Oh, I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle As I go ridin' merrily along As I go ridin' merrily along And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" And that song ain't so very far from wrong And that song ain't so very far from wrong

Oh, Lillie Belle Oh, Lillie Belle Though I may have done some foolin' This is why I never fell Why I never fell

'Cause I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle As I go ridin' merrily along As I go ridin' merrily along And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?" And that song ain't so very far from wrong And that song ain't so very far from wrong
