Music of WWII: “On the Swing Shift”

(See my other WWII and Music related posts) – The song “On the Swing Shift” came out in 1942 in the film Star Spangled Rhythm. It was sung by Marjorie Reynolds, Betty Jane Rhodes, and Dona Drake. The theme of the song focuses on the romance between wartime aircraft plant workers who are on the “swing shift”, that is between 4PM and midnight.
