Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

This song was composed by Fred Glickman, Hy Heath and John Lange and produced by Mitch Miller.

Because of its whip cracking accompaniment, this song is important in the history of popular music as it was one of the first produced records that couldn't be replicated by a solo artist on the piano using sheet music. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

In the book Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography, Jerry Leiber recounts working in Norty's record store in L.A. circa 1950 while he was still in high school. He specifically mentions the store sold Frankie Laine records, as well as the Mickey Katz cover of "Mule Train."
