Gene de Paul(music)
Don Raye(lyrics)
For the song "Pig Foot Pete". 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 Deux nigauds aviateurs (1941), a 1941 release from the same production company and studio, and was therefore ineligible for a 1942 nomination. (from the AMPAS awards database)
