"'Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart'" is a 1934 popular song with words and music by James F. Hanley. It was introduced by Hal Le Roy and Eunice Healey in the Broadway revue 'Thumbs Up!'
The most notable recordings were made by Judy Garland, who recorded it numerous times, including in the 1938 film 'Listen, Darling' and for Decca Records in 1939. It later became a standard number in her concerts and TV shows when she performed it as an up-tempo arrangement by Nelson Riddle from her 1958 Capitol album.
In 1972, a recording by the Trammps reached No. 17 on the 'Billboard', Best Selling Soul Singles chart and No. 64 on the Hot 100.
