Tracks: The Pajama Game (Opening) Racing With The Clock I'm Not At All In Love I'll Never Be Jealous Again Hey, There Once A Year Day! Small Talk There Once Was A Man Steam Heat Hernando's Hideaway Seven And A Half Cents Finale About The Record: The Pajama Game, by Doris Day, was faithful to the movie of the same name. Not only did Warner Bros. retain the Richard Adler-Jerry Ross score in its entirety, but the film company also preserved most of the cast, including male lead John Raitt and supporting actors Carol Haney, Eddie Foy Jr., Reta Shaw, and Buzz Miller. The only significant substitution was that of Hollywood star Doris Day for Broadway female lead Janis Paige, probably a box-office necessity. But Day fit right in, and the script was not altered to emphasize her part. Instead, the production remained an ensemble story in which Raitt got to sing the hit Hey There and Haney had showcases with Steam Heat and Hernando's Hideaway. Day shone on I'm Not at All in Love, throwing herself into the production number, and paired well with Raitt on Once-a-Year Day and There Once Was a Man. Foy and Shaw retained their own showcase number, I'll Never Be Jealous Again. The show worked as well on film as it had on stage, and the score remained fresh and catchy. The soundtrack album was nearly as popular as the original Broadway cast album had been three years earlier, making the Top Ten.
