history
The Edens-Martin-Blane songwriting team wrote Pass That Peace Pipe for the MGM musical film Good News (1947, directed by Charles Walters ), with June Allyson and Peter Lawford in the lead roles. Pass That Peace Pipe is featured in the film by Joan McCracken , Ray McDonald and Chor. The song gives the singer and dancer McCracken the opportunity to perform as a soloist in Good News with her number Pass That Peace Pipe , which is reminiscent of sing-and-dance numbers of Indians and which, through McCracken's performance, turns into a lively ensemble dance sequence developed.
The song received an Oscar nomination for Best Song in 1948 . Dinah Shore presented the song at the launch in the Shrine Auditorium.
In the lyrics, the narrator tells of a medicine man who gives him advice when things seem gray and you shouldn't fall into a hole ( “so don't get yourself in a snit” ).
Numerous cover versions of Pass That Peace Pipe were recorded in the late 1940s, including a. by Eddie Cantor and The Sportsmen, Harry Cool and His Orchestra (Mercury 5080), Margaret Whiting / Frank De Vol (Capitol 15010), Bing Crosby (Decca 24269), Art Mooney (MGM 10112), Kay Kyser (Columbia 78-37956) , Beryl Davis ( RCA Victor 20-2483) and Martha Tilton ( Majestic 1176), also by Sammy Davis junior (LP 1974).
