<P> "Jeepers Creepers" is a popular 1938 song and jazz standard . The music was written by Harry Warren, and the lyrics by Johnny Mercer, for the 1938 Warner Brothers movie Going Places . It was premiered by Louis Armstrong and has since been covered by many other artists . </P> <P> This song was featured in the 1938 film Going Places starring Dick Powell, Anita Louise and Ronald Reagan . Louis Armstrong appears in 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 . Gabriel wrote the song specifically for the horse . (The phrase "jeepers creepers", a slang expression and minced oath euphemism for Jesus Christ, predates both the song and film .) </P>
