Notes
- "Chicken Fat" was a recording from the early 1960s which was commissioned by President Kennedy for the President's Council on Physical Fitness. A record was sent to schools across the country to encourage young people to exercise. The song itself was written by Meredith Wilson and performed by Robert Preston -- both well-known for The Music Man.
