I don't know if there's a video for this, but I heard another live version on Spotify from an Album Called "The War Years, Vol. 1". The drummer audibly drops something and Bing Crosby comments it while singing and every body laughed. The brass section even improvised a quick fill to cover up he went offbeat with that. That was pretty awesome and it's a great version overall too, featuring The Charioteers.
The comment should've been this: "Better than today's popular music." It sure is though, infinitely better. Bing and other legends were singing some lovely tunes back in their days.
Peace. Wikipedia gives some background on the origin of one of the most popular song in the 1940s, “Accentuate the Positive”, the attitude of doing right. In 1944, singer/songwriter Johnny Mercer came to hear of one of the Sermons of the Reverend M. J. Divine (better known as FATHER DIVINE), Founder of the International Peace Mission Movement and Fulfiller of Scripture Prophecy of the Second Coming of the Christ for the Christian world and the Coming of the Messiah for the Jewish world. Rev. Divine became well-known to the public in 1931 while carrying on HIS Work and Mission in Sayville, Long Island, New York. The Rev. Divine’s Sermon subject was “Accentuate the positive to eliminate the negative." Mercer said, "Wow, that's a colorful phrase!” (according to John Gilliland, Pop Chronicles the 1940’s and Bob McKenzie, “40’s Sounds Return to Radio”). He went back to Hollywood and, together with songwriter Harold Arlen ("Over The Rainbow"), wrote "Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive", which Mercer recorded himself with the Pied Pipers in 1945. It was also recorded by Bing Crosby with the Andrews Sisters that same year. Other artists recording the song include Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Page with Jo Stafford, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler with Bing Crosby, Tami Gunden, Paul McCartney, Dr. John, Thomas Quasthoff with Till Bronner.

A positive man that Bing Crosby
Mutahar
Hello guys and gals, me mutahar
This is probably the best version of Bing's version of this song, not that the others are bad mind you.

Personally i think fallout 4's version is the best, but to each his own
It's missing The Andrew Sisters. :/
Sam Cooke’s is amazing.
Literally one of my favourite songs ever
A lot better than modern pop music.
Earnest Jones this is pop lol
Gaige more like jazz

Traditional pop
To quote bing and friends:
"You either got, or you haven't got class"
Beautiful vocal delivered without histrionics or flinching. Totally comfortable in his own skin.
Simple, smooth and perfect
Good song. I listened to this every New Years after the ball drops ever since 2018. It puts me in a good mood for the new year.
Gotta love da bing voice sent by angels 🤩
Sweet film!!! Inauguration day and this should be the theme.
Peace.

Charles Lyle Larue my boy, it’s doubled, because they didn’t e-lim My Nate the negative.
🍎 🎵 👌
Probably, the best part of American culture. Sadly, now it is not like it was before.
Fallout 4 - Diamond City Radio
The best song when you find out that you have covid. 🤷🏼♀️ You got to accentuate the positive. 😂
I'm here...
This is great but there is an annoying ringing in the background
Probably unavoidable; this looks like a reduplicate made off an old 16mm print. It's about as good as you'll find.
Another settlement needs your help
Another settlement needs your help, here, I’ll mark it on your map.
