The Modernaires, Juke Box Saturday Night (1942)

Hit Me Again -- "Juke Box Saturday Night" (1961 and 1942)
This song told the story of kids having fun when cash is in short supply, making a coke last all night and listening to their favorite hits. Both versions feature parody clips of the current generation's popular artists. The Glenn Miller version lampoons Harry James and The Ink Spots, for example, and the one by Nino & The Ebb Tides parodies The Monotones and The Silhouettes.
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra (1942)
"Juke Box Saturday Night" was Glenn Miller's last hit as a civilian. With World War II being the big news of the day, Miller enlisted shortly after this record was released. On December 5, 1942, the song went into the Billboard Top Ten at #9. Miller was transferred from the Army to the Army Air Corps and became Captain Glenn Miller. He auditioned rectuirs from all of the U.S. for a military that would play modern, popular music to the troops. They became the Army Air Force Band. They existed for 14 months and played in 11 countries overseas. They are credited with more than 500 radio broadcasts, did more than 300 personal appearances, and were involved with more than 900 morale-boosting drives for those in garrison areas and combat zones.

Here are the lyrics:
"Sippin' up soda pop rickeys
To our hearts delight
Dancin' to swingeroo quickies
Jukebox Saturday night.

Goodman and Kyser and Miller
Help to make things bright
Mixin hot licks with vanilla
Jukebox Saturday night.

They put nothin' past us
Me and honey lamb
Making one Coke last us
Till it's time to scram.

Money, we really don't need that
We make out alright
Lettin' the other guy feed that
Jukebox Saturday night.

After sippin' a soda, we got a scheme
Somebody else plays the record machine
It's so easy to say pet names
When you listen to the trumpet of Harry James.

We love to hear that tenor croon
Whenever the Ink Spots sing a tune:
"If I didn't know why the roses grow
Then I wouldn't know why the roses grow.
Now listen, honey child
If I didn't know, all them little things I'm supposed to know
Then I sure would be a sad man
If I didn't know."

Money, we really don't need it
We'll make out alright
Lettin' the other guy feed that
Jukebox Saturday night"
