U.N.-o Hits the Spot . . .
Manhattan's WNEW last week began broadcasting a series of six one-minute jingles about the United Nations. WNEW has also made transcriptions of the songs for the use of other stations in the U.S. and in other English-speaking countries. They were written by Hy Zaret and Lou Singer, authors of WNEW's Little Songs About Big Subjects.* Sample lyric:
I.L.O. and I.T.O. and U.N.E.S.C.O.
Are working U.N. agencies that work
for you and meo.
I.R.O. and F.A.O. I'm sure you will
agree-o
Will help the U.N. make the world a
better place to be-o.
It may take a year or two or maybe
even three-o,
But some day all the world will be a
happy family-o.
As we make United Nations a reality-o,
Then we will see a world where we are
happy, safe and free-o.
I.T.U. and U.P.U., the BANK and I.C.A.O.
Are working U.N. agencies that labor
night and day-o
For the FUND and W.H.O. we say
hurray-o.
A healthy world, a happy world, will
soon be on its way-o.
U.N. has been having a tough winter, and this is just what it needed-o.
* Biggest Zaret & Singer success was their modernization of Harvard Professor George Martin Lane's The Lone Fish Ball (1855) into 1945's hit One Meat Ball.
