Are you tryin' to tell us that you've never heard the song "Corn Puddin'"? Well, we can fix that. Check out the Apple TV+ singalong video above of the now Emmy-nominated song from the pilot episode of the musical comedy series Schmigadoon!

In a recent online panel for The Society of Composers & Lyricists, songwriter Cinco Paul was asked if the subject of the song had always been corn pudding, or if he'd ever stewed over other down-home delicacies for the track from the pilot episode, titled "Puddin'." But it was always corn pudding. It was the first idea, and it stuck. And now that first, great idea has been nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.

Season 1 of Schmigadoon! premiered July 16, 2021. It will return for a second season, re-christened Schmicago and shifting its references to the musicals of the '60s and '70s.
