I'm trying to find a song for my wedding. The chorus goes something like this:

"K-k-k-katie From K-k-kansas City, you're the only girl for me..."

I don't need a copy of the song, but rather the real title and artist, and maybe an album name?
All I know is it's an old song, maybe from the 30's or 40's?

Update: 10/23 16:41 EST by B:We have a winner! It's "K-K-K-Katy" composed by Geoffrey O'Hara in 1918. Thanks all!

You may have heard recent reports about so-called \"stealth advertising,\" in which people called \"leaners\" are hired to tout a product. For example, one might lean against the bar in a crowded pub talking about a wonderful new beer. I may have just encountered the library equivalent. Yesterday I received an email from someone with no obvious connection to my university asking if we owned certain books. Since some of the ones we didn\'t own seemed relevant to our curriculum I looked them up on Google. Here is the page that came up first. Turns out all these books were published by Agora. Was my correspondent hoping to find the books in order to write a profitable review? Or was there a different purpose in mind?\"
