Here's something fun: a back-to-back comparison of Buddy Ebsen's original recording of "If I Only Had a Heart" from The Wizard of Oz (before he got sick from the aluminum makeup and had to drop out) with Jack Haley's performance in the finished film.
Their different approaches are interesting to hear. Maybe it's just Ebsen's Midland accent vs. Haley's Boston accent, but Ebsen seems to emphasize the "folksy, down-home woodcutter" side of the Tin Man, while Haley emphasizes his refined, poetic tenderness.

One Body Too Many (1944)
My rating: 5/10
Pretty much the only remarkable thing about this is that it is already playing around with the old "shoulder angel and devil" bit, in this case having them be, to borrow a phrase from an old reaction gif, "scared and horny". Also Bela Lugosi is being kind of fun as the creepy butler.
