Holiday for Strings (song)

This classic piece, written by David Rose, was the theme song for the Red Skelton Show for over 20 years. Written in 1942, this piece is still recognized today as a classic American composition. The pizzicato strings and soaring melodies give this composition its distinctive sound.

Spike Jones did a version using humorous instruments including a male impersonating a clucking chicken.

Allan Sherman did a version entitled "Holiday for States" mentioning all of the 50 states in the union. (SOURCE: From the Alan Sherman album "Allan in Wonderland" (1964))
