(Put Another Nickel In) Music! Music! Music!
Composer: Bernie Baum / Stephan Weiss

(Put Another Nickel In) Music! Music! Music! was briefly played during a tuning break during at least one Grateful Dead show in 1972.

Uncertain of the correct title of the song. The first recording in 1949 used the title Put Another Nickel In Music, Music, Music (The Nickelodeon Song). On this site the title (Put Another Nickel In) Music! Music! Music! is used as that seems to be the commonest title on early recordings. Many later recordings use the title Music, Music, Music.

The song was written in the late 1940s. It was first recorded by Etienne Paree with Eddie "Piano" Miller for a 1949 release. Teresa Brewer recorded the song at the end of 1949 and this version became a million seller No 1 hit despite being the b-side of the single release. After this success many other recordings of the song were released in the early 1950s.
