"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is an iconic song from World War II, made famous by the Andrews Sisters, and first performed in the Abbott and Costello film Buck Privates. It was nominated for an Academy Award.
The song, and the Andrews Sisters, have come to epitomize the popular American memory of the USO. Earl Sinclair, Charlene Sinclair, and Roy Hess, as "The Sinclair Sisters," entertain the Pangaean troops with this number in the Dinosaurs episode "Nuts to War (part 2)."
