Archive material and source history
Kay Kyser led a popular swing band in the late 1930s and 1940s. His biggest hit was "Jingle, Jangle, Jingle," which topped the charts with its playful rhythm. Other songs like "Woody Woodpecker" and "Can't Get Out Of This Mood" kept his band on the radio during the war years.
Kyser hosted a radio show called "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" that mixed music with quiz segments. He also appeared in several films. His band included vocalists like Harry Babbitt and Ginny Simms, and they developed a light, cheerful sound that fit the era.
After the war, musical tastes shifted away from big bands, and Kyser gradually stepped back from performing. He left behind a catalog of upbeat swing tunes that still surface in oldies collections and period films.
