where did the song i love you a bushel and a peck come from
A Bushel and a Peck "A Bushel and a Peck" is a popular song written by Frank Loesser and published in 1950. The song was introduced in the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls, which opened at the 46th Street Theater on November 24, 1950. It was performed on stage by Vivian Blaine, who later reprised her role as Miss Adelaide in the 1955 film version of the play. "A Bushel and a Peck," however, was not included in the film, and instead replaced by a new song, titled "Pet Me, Poppa."
There's a Skeeter on My Peter The earliest printed example of this song is found in the book Parodology (1927) where the melody is listed as an adaptation of the tune "Little Bit of Love".[1][full citation needed] This song has been commercially recorded by Valby and by an anonymous person on the 1960 LP The Unexpurgated Folk Songs of Men.[2]
