Marilyn Miller & Clifton Webb [as Easter Parade in revue As Thousands Cheer]

So Easter Parade's melody was second hand. Irving Berlin was a recycler. When he needed an old-time sounding song for a 1930's revue, he modified the melody, but you can hear the newer song in the beginning of the chorus.
