"Air Mail Special" is a 1941 jazz standard written by Benny Goodman, James Mundy and Charlie Christian. [1] Jazz fans know it best as a vehicle for the virtuoso scat singing of Ella Fitzgerald; her memorable take at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival is representative. [2] Benny Goodman's rendition song was used for the soundtrack to the queue line of Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster at Universal Orlando Resort.
