Nomenclature
Elvis thought that on the whole
Fats Domino played rock and roll,
While Fats himself preferred to use
The older label rhythm and blues.
It doesn’t matter, after all, it
Isn’t changed by what you call it.

Betty Hutton (26 February 1921 – 12 March 12, 2007) was an American stage, film, and television actress, comedian, dancer and singer.
Signing the Cast
When filming Annie Get Your Gun
They needed to determine
How Miss Oakley could be done
Without Miss Ethel Merman.
At first, Miss Garland had the lead
At Metro Golden Mayer,
But she was fired, which caused a need
To find another player.
They looked around, and then they hit
The thing right on the button.
They knew they had the perfect fit,
And cast Miss Betty Hutton.
