The Jackie Gleason Show Season 3 Episode 12

Overview:
Ralph is intrigued by the potential fame and fortune in writing popular songs. Before long, he and Norton pitch in (by raiding their spouses' Christmas Club funds) and buy a piano; Alice is furious. Desperately working through the night in Ralph's apartment, Ed and Ralph exhaust every lame premise for writing a hit song, until a chance series of disruptive noises sparks Ralph's imagination, and their new masterpiece begins to take shape. Within a day, they are auditioning their new opus "My Love Song to You" for a local publisher, who tells Ralph that he likes Ed's music, but refuses to publish the song with Ralph's amateurish lyrics. Ralph makes the ultimate artistic sacrifice by allowing the publisher to hire a lyricist to replace his own words. Ralph is thus thrust into an emotional funk, which reaches its height on the night Ed's new song makes its radio broadcast debut.
