I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown
Hal Kemp's orchestra performs "I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown" with Maxine Gray doing the singing and Skinny Ennis on the drums.
It's a three-minute short, about the length of a music video. Like modern music videos, it has a bit of a story to fill it out: a college student turns on the radio to hear the song announced, turns a fan magazine to a story about Mr. Kemp, and turns on a fan, which causes some of the performers to step out of the magazine. It's not much of a movie, despite the clever editing around the song, and the song itself is a largely forgotten item in the Great American Songbook: an early set of lyrics for Johnny Mercer, and Fred Astaire credited with the music. He wrote a lot of songs, few of them remembered,
