The A side of this 78, "C'n I Canoe You Up The River ?", is a quasi-novelty up-tempo number, on which Arthur Godfrey's distinctive vocal is augmented to good effect by male backing singers, to a sparkling arrangement. The flip side, "A Marshmallow World," is a fairly well-known Christmas song, on which Godfrey is joined by the Chordettes and the Cherry Sisters. Very melodic and mellow, but neither side of the record charted in the U.S.

Bing Crosby had a minor American hit (no. 24) in 1951 with "A Marshmellow World" (slightly altering the spelling of "Marshmallow"), but the song is probably best-known for the 1963 updated and rousing version by the Phil Spector protege Darlene Love.

Finally, the acclaimed American radio and television broadcaster Arthur Godfrey was born in Manhattan, New York, on 31 August 1903. He died from emphysema in Manhattan on 16 March 1983, aged 79.
