"Theme from Picnic" is a popular song, originated in the 1956 movie Picnic. It is often referred to simply as "Picnic". The music was written by George Duning, and the lyrics were written by Steve Allen. The song was published in 1956. Many of the popular versions of the song in 1956 were medleys of the song with "Moonglow," though a recording of the song alone by The McGuire Sisters was also a hit. One of the medleys was done by Morris Stoloff and the Columbia Pictures Orchestra, and another by George Cates and his Orchestra, which was also a major hit of that year.
