Really Old Music

Frank Sinatra ~ Come Fly With Me


Sonny Rollins - Sonny Rollins With The Modern Jazz Quartet (1951-1953) [Full Album]

This one is true nostalgia for me as Bud Flanagan (Chaim Reuben Weintrop) is or rather was the spitting image of my paternal grandfather, in sound, looks and mannerisms.

What Has Become of Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo (1924)

A popular song from 1924
Words and music by Al Dubin, Irving Mills, Jimmy McHugh and Irwin Dash

Lyrics

  1. Do you ever think of the time
    When all the boys went ‘cross the sea
    To the land of Wee Wee Wee
    Where they strolled with sweet Marie
    Then the boys came back with a song
    ‘Bout “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”
    If you don’t recall the song at all
    I’ll sing it over for you, Say!

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
Maybe she still is true to you
And true to the rest of the army, too
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
Haven’t you told your wife about
The girls you knew?
You must have told your wife, no doubt
But I bet you left a lot of it out
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
Do you remember everything that you went thru?
You can forget the shots and shells
But never forget the Madamoiselles
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”

  1. If you ‘ve never been over there
    t makes no difference, don’t you see?
    You can sing the melody
    In the best society
    Never mind the words if you like the tune
    Then all you have to do
    Is to join right in when I begin
    To sing the chorus for you, Say!

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
What has become of all the Jewish soldiers, too
Many a son of Abraham
Has eaten ham for Uncle Sam
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
What has become of all the second looies, too
Maybe they’re doing the same as you
Waiting to get a bonus, too
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”

Chorus
What has become of “Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”?
What has become of all the field clerks that you knew?
They won the war across the sea
Fighting the battle of gay Paree
“Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo”


Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.

My Ghetto Rose (1906)

A popular song from 1906
Words by Addison Burkhardt
Music by Albert Von Tilzer

Lyrics

  1. I’m in love with Rosie Levy
    Of the Motzes Bakery
    Though I am poor and she is rich
    She “takes the cake with me”
    She is twice “A one” in Bradstreet
    But for wealth I do not care
    I would love her if she was a millionaire
    And when at night suspenders sell no more
    I suspend my bus’ness to implore, Oi

Chorus
Rosie, the fairest flower
In all the Bakery
I think of you each hour
When business isn’t so good with me
For a wife I want you Rosie
For life to knit my hose
And at the wedding we’ll have every dish
From angel cake to sweet “gefilte fish”
I’ll even eat your Motzes if you wish
Just say you’ll be my Ghetto Rose

  1. Oi, my heart’s in pawn
    And Rosie holds the ticket you’ll agree
    She’s got redeeming qualities
    For mine she’s pledged to be
    Rosie’s lips I like to kiss
    They’re just like rubies I’ve been told
    And I love her for she has a heart of gold
    I like to look into her eyes with mine
    Like two carat diamonds they will shine, Oi

Sung here by Vancha March.
Accompaniment by Gerd Westendorp.

Great Old 1930’s Song… Annette Hanshaw sings ‘Under The Moon’

Hellzapoppin (Lindy Hop, Featuring Frankie Manning 1941 Gatti’s Cut)

A Day at the Races - Lindy Hop scene in color | Colorized with DeOldify

Whitey himself can be seen on the sidelines. He is identifiable by the streak of white in his hair. This scene, like the Lindy Hop sequence in Hellzapoppin’, has no connection to the main plot of the movie, so that it could be cut from the film when it was shown in the Deep South and other segregated venues. The African-American people in the dance scene are portrayed as innocent and happy, a common stereotype of the time. There is a brief appearance of the Marx brothers covered in coal soot, a clear reference to blackface performance which may be shocking to modern audiences.

The song, “All God’s Chillun Got Rhythm”, in the clip is by Bronislaw Kaper, Walter Jurmann, and Gus Kahn, which features Ivie Anderson from Duke Ellington’s orchestra. The list of dancers is including Troy Brown, Dorothy Miller, Johnny Smalls, Norma Miller, Leon James, Snooky Beasley, Willa Mae Ricker, Ella Gibson, and George Greenidge. (Apparently, the dancer we called John Bunch is in fact, Troy Brown.) This video is colorized with DeOldify. Edit and colorization by Karri Rasinmäki from our team.

My Baby Loves Sea Men (obscure 1950s vinyl) -
The first performer ever kicked off of American Bandstand mid-performance, Pop/Rock music legend Davey Locker still charted with this 1959 record despite Dick Clark’s massive influence. “I don’t know,” Locker said in a 1972 interview, “maybe he’s more of an Army guy. I’m not bitter. Not in the slightest.” When pressed on the possible double or triple meanings of his lyrics, Locker dismissed rumors as unfounded. “It’s pretty straightforward. Anyway, you look like you’ve got strong hands. You sure you’ve never sailed?”
