You Don't Know What You're Doin'

Warner Bros. Merrie Melody from 1931. Title tune by Benee Russell, George Meyer, and Joe Young.

Almost put this in the Last Movie You Watched thread, but it's only 7 min long, and the music by the Abe Lyman band is every bit as good as the visualizations.

Another take on the tune, by Isham Jones' ork - not at all cartoonish and done with plenty of sock.

That's ok, the music is good and I like cartoons

What a difference

Paul Whiteman totally changed his sound in less than a year - 1927. All history records is that Bix and Frank Trumbauer came on the band, but there was clearly a whole new approach.

You know that sound, but here is the one before.
Everything's Made for Love, March, 1927
Side By Side, April, 1927 (with the Rhythm Boys and Red Nichols)

I think you just overloaded my innuendo detector.

78s to endure the unendurable by --

Starting off in 1931 with Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees and their definitive recording of "As Time Goes By." Dug up and dusted off by Victor in 1943 during the Petrillo ban, and it became a hit all over again. Rudy's accountant must've been pleased -- it's probably the most-reissued Vallee disc of all time.

Next. following a commercial for Forty Fathom Fish -- look for the picture of Old Forty Fathom right there on the wrapper -- it's the big surprise hit of 1938, with Eddy Duchin and his Orchestra and Patricia Norman's she-didn't-really-say-what-it-sounded-like-did-she vocal on "Old Man Mose." Buck-buck-bucket indeed.

How likely is it that anyone, in any era, would ever say: "Ooohhh, bucket!"?

Listen to Ol' Man Mose - Brunswick 8155 (March 21, 1938)

lol :eusa_clap Thanks, needed that...

 

[LizzieMaine]

It's a pretty remarkable record even without the controversy -- who would have ever thought Eddy Duchin's band could sound like that?

Miss Norman, meanwhile, got herself a string of similar novelty hits -- "Pluckin' On A Golden Harp," for one. "Pluck pluck pluckit."

Tempus pluckit?
