The song "When the Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam'" was sung by Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey in Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business and previously by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in Irving Berlin's Easter Parade. In 1950, Judy Garland had started to film Annie Get Your Gun as Annie Oakley in the role that Ethel Merman had originated on Broadway in 1946.
"Anything You Can Do" (music and lyrics by Irving Berlin), sung by Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey, was cut from this movie. The song as filmed still exists. In 1946, Miss Merman and Ray Middleton had introduced this song in the Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun", and it also appears in the film adaptation Annie Get Your Gun starring Betty Hutton and Howard Keel.
Marilyn Monroe was promised the lead role in The Seven Year Itch if she appeared in this film to boost its box-office potential. The role of Vicky was written especially for this purpose, and songs such as "Heatwave", originally intended for Ethel Merman, were assigned to her.
