This version of Ain't We Got Fun was recorded by Doris Day, with the Paul Weston Orchestra accompanied by the Norman Luboff Choir. The original arrangement was by Paul Weston. This transcription closely mirrors the original, except cues for the Trombone section with the 4 voice backing group (choir) parts make the chart playable by big band and solo female vocalist. The chart is an out-and-out vocal feature and contains no band solos or even ensemble choruses, aside from intro, modulation and ending. The vocal key opens in Bb, modulates to C and reverts to Bb. The brass ranges are very moderate and there are no sax doubles.
