Are the old WWII songs available on You Tube?...
I tried to find the one that goes, "I love the USA. How about you?"

That's not the same one they played in the film, though. Maybe the same tune, but more jazzed up, swing-band style. And, obviously, different lyrics. The one in the film, at about the 54-minute mark, had some female singers (The Andrews Sisters, maybe? not sure...) singing the following lyrics:
I love the USA, how about you?
I bought my bonds today, how about you?
I like the Stars and Stripes, when I'm feelin' blue
They keep my spirits high, with every bond I buy
How about you?
I'm mad about a war, can't get my fill
And how the cannon's roar gives me a thrill
Dropping bombs on the world below,
When all the lights are low, may not be new
But I like it, How about you?
It sounded pretty funny. I've tried to find it online but so far have had no luck.
Don't mess with me, man! I know karate, judo, ju-jitsu..... and several other Japanese words.

Oh I see. This is how it's listed.
How About You?

Yeah, I saw that too under soundtrack listings, and it threw me off, because it is incorrect. The one they sang in the movie might've been based on that tune, but the style and lyrics were way different. I've Googled the lyrics, but have not found a match yet.
Also noticed another mistake on the IMDb page: Alan Alda's character is listed as Morton Krim. His first name was Michael, not Morton.
