Jeeper Creepers

The song Jeepers Creepers was featured in the 1938 film Going Places starring Dick Powell, Anita Louise, Louis Armstrong and Ronald Reagan. Louis Armstrong plays the part of Gabriel, the trainer of a race horse named Jeepers Creepers. Jeepers Creepers is a very wild horse and can only be soothed enough to let someone ride him when Gabriel plays the song "Jeepers Creepers" on his trumpet or sings it to him. Louis Armstrong's character, Gabriel, had written the song specifically for the horse, Jeepers Creepers.

Although the song was written as a romance, it has garnered a reputation for being creepy for its use in the horror film Jeepers Creepers, in which one of the main characters is shown with their eyes taken out while the song is playing.

The famous lyrics of the song are:
"Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?"
