Hot Time in the Town of Berlin
(There'll Be a) Hot Time in the Town of Berlin (When the Yanks Go Marching In) is a song from 1943, with music and lyrics by Joe Bushkin and John De Vries, and published by Barton Music Corp.[1]
The song was originally performed by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters and reached No. 1 on the top 100 U.S. songs of 1944.[2]
The song was introduced on Frank Sinatra's CBS radio show and became popular due to its patriotic lyrics, swinging rhythm, and its orchestral arrangement.[3] It would later appear as war propaganda in the Warner Bros. short film, Road to Victory, where it was performed by Sinatra himself.[4]
The cover illustration was designed by Albert Barbelle and features Uncle Sam's arm and hand holding a paintbrush with red paint.[1]
