 He says that there were 20 labels that put out recordings of Music, Music, Music at the time, even before Teresa's. That would make a good subject for research, forum, list etc. The first issued recording of it was by Etienne Paree, a speak-sing style with a French accent, which was viewed poorly.

 The story that brought me here is that Rayburn as a New York morning radio host in 1949 tried a gimmick to get a raise. He said he could make a hit of any song by featuring it on his program. He then looked for the worst song he could find, and thought that would be "Music, Music, Music". There were many cover recordings of it made after he played it. Then he got Teresa Brewer to record it. Sure enough.
Teresa's London label only put it as the B side to Copenhagen, an oldie jazz-pop hit, which was not going to get Teresa far. Released in December 1949.
