I wonder how many of you remember the Andrews Sisters singing this one......way back in 1944!! Probably not but I remember it well. I was 12 years old at the time and it was towards the end of WW2. Lots of versions on YouTube and I hope this one comes through OK.
Hari OM Well, of course don't remember the original... but again, the sisters were a favourite within the family, so grew familiar with them more by osmosis than choice! They were the Spice Gals before spice got hot &*> YAM xx
They were popular because they sang cheerful songs I think. Not sure about them not being hot. Just think of the words "both mother and daughter working for the Yankee dollar". Have never fathomed out exactly what that meant. (*:*) xx
I can just imagine you in your yoof!! I think I have tried rum and coke but if I ever drink whiskey (rarely) I have it with milk which Phil frowns at!!

DeleteI didn't of course hear the original, but remember hearing it in my yoof. Mind you, I prefer my rum with milk.

DeleteI've never heard this before, I like it. My dad liked the Andrews Sisters.
ReplyDeleteProbably 'cos you're too young. It was very popular when I was a youngster. A great little tune.
