Reportedly a 1953 performance from the movie Remains to be Seen, released as a 78 by MGM records but I've not found that release.

Jeff Chamberlain we'll need the original 78rpm release to get this into the database.

None of the usual sources reference the single, beyond the general comment noted in the submission. There are a very few references to a single release, on MGM, but none that contain a catalog #. See, e.g.,

Thanks for coming back Jeff Chamberlain . We'll have to keep this as pending until you track down the 78 rpm.
