Classic Version
The Mills Brothers sing the title song in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
The Mills Brothers were a singing group composed of four brothers and their father. The sole instrumental accompaniment was a guitar; the other 'instruments' were produced by mouth. Although their heyday was the 1930s -- when several of their hits were the basis of some of the best of the Fleischer Screen Songs -- they remained rightfully popular for decades, with perfectly arranged songs like this one.
