See the USA in Your Chevrolet

The song "See The U.S.A. In Your Chevrolet" (title as filed for 1950 copyright) is a commercial jingle from c.1949, with lyrics and music by Leo Corday (ASCAP) and Leon Carr (ASCAP), written for the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Corp. "Inside U. S. A. (musical variety, starring Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy)" (description), The Media Management Group, 2003, webpage: [http://www.classicthemes.com/50sTVThemes/themePages/insideUSA.html ClassicThemes-50sTVThemes-InsideUSA] .] The song was the Chevrolet jingle sung on the show "Inside U. S. A." by Chevrolet's real-life husband-wife duo, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, years before it became associated with Dinah Shore. Dinah Shore sang the song after 1952, and it became somewhat of a signature song for her. Later the song was also sung by male spokesman Pat Boone. When the games of the Los Angeles Dodgers were televised in the 1960s, commercials were aired with the song sung by Johnny Roseboro and Don Drysdale --whose singing careers, announcer Vin Scully said, were "destined to go absolutely nowhere."__TOC__Using contemporary punctuation, the song is also titled as "See the USA in Your Chevrolet" (on IMDb). "Leon Carr - Biography" (bio page), IMDb, 2005, webpage: [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0139784/bio IMDb-9784-bio] .] The title has been catalogued for ASCAP since year 2001, as "See The U S A In Your Chevrolet (Chevrolet)" (listed without publisher in the 2001 ASCAP ACE Database).
