Thanks to a fellow commenter at The Comics Curmudgeon for bringing the existence of this to my attention. The story I got along with it is that Julie London sang this version of Jimmie Dodd's greatest hit live before a session of Congress to make the point that the performer of a song deserved royalties as much as the writer of a song. It would certainly make my mouseka-ears go up.
(It reminded me of another children's celebrity's appearance before the hallowed halls of Congress as well. Interesting for entirely different reasons, here's Fred Rogers charming the flinty heart of congressmen who were planning on giving a budget axe to PBS.)
