Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the original film, John Truett sang only in the "Skip to My Lou" number. Two new songs were interpolated into the television version to give Tab Hunter more opportunities to sing: "If You Were the Only Girl in the World" was a standard from the era in which the story takes place. "When Does This Feeling Go Away?" was composed by Hugh Martin for the ill-fated Broadway show "Make a Wish." See more » |
