"I've Heard That Song Before" is a 1942 popular song with
music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It was introduced
by Martha O'Driscoll (dubbed by Margaret Whiting) in the 1942
film
Youth on Parade.
It was recorded by Harry James and his Orchestra with Helen
Forrest on vocal on July 31, 1942. This was the last day of
recording before the Musician Union's ban. The recording was
issued on Columbia 36668 and became a number one hit on both
the pop and R&B charts in the USA in early 1943 . This
version of the song can be heard in Woody Allen's movie Hannah
and Her Sisters.
