"Big Noise from Winnetka" is a jazz song co-written by composer and bass player Bob Haggart and drummer Ray Bauduc, who were members of a sub-group of the Bob Crosby Orchestra called "The Bobcats".
Though the original version has only bass and drums (with the bass player whistling), many other arrangements have been performed, including one by the Bob Crosby big band with the band's vocal group, for which Gil Rodin and Bob Crosby added lyrics to the instrumental original.
After the success of its initial recording, Haggart and Bauduc performed this number frequently for the rest of their careers, including in several films, most notably in 1941's Let's Make Music and 1943's Reveille with Beverly.
Nick Nolte and Debra Winger danced to a version credited to Bob Crosby and the Bobcats in the 1982 film Cannery Row.
[1] When some of the band were late getting back from a break, Haggart and Bauduc started free improvising while they waited and "Big Noise" was the result.
