MUSIC (Song)
 
 
 
 
"It Seems I Heard That Song Before" from Youth on Parade -- Music by Jule Styne; Lyrics by Sammy Cahn
 
 
 
 
[NOTE: This nomination is a mystery. Both the nominations list and the program from the Awards dinner list the song as being from Hellzapoppin', a 1942 release for Awards purposes. The song does not appear in that film, but did appear in Keep 'Em Flying, a 1941 release from the same production company and studio, and was therefore ineligible for a 1942 nomination.]
