about

"Chattanooga Choo Choo" is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and composed by Harry Warren. It was originally recorded as a big-band/swing tune by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra and featured in the 1941 movie "Sun Valley Serenade." It was the first song to receive a gold record, presented by RCA Victor in 1942, for sales of 1.2 million copies.

The record was a smash despite it being a B-side of a single, and it received little airplay, having been released during a long radio strike during which recorded music wasn't being played. It is now one of the great "ear worms" of all time.

Warren, who liked to write songs during train rides, also wrote "Aitchison Topeka and the Sante Fe."

I'm seriously considering my own full-band remake of this in a twangy rock'n'roll style.
