*"Last Night on the Back Porch (I Loved Her Best of All)" was composed by Carl Schraubstader, with lyrics by Lew Brown.

The song was initially introduced to Broadway audiences as performed by Winnie Lightner in a string of revues produced by George White, dubbed "George White's Scandals".

The "California Ramblers" gang appear as the "Varsity Eight" on the Cameo label for the performance of this favorite collegiate offering arranged by pianist Irving Brodsky and featuring some exquisite group singing.
