Just watched this Soundie on YouTube. In it, singer Lane Truesdale sings the title song with a trio of male musicians called The Kingsmen playing instruments while a picture of a bearded man looks at her butt while she's also dancing (yes, we get plenty of views of that posterior). This was another enjoyable "music video" from the '40s that played during the era on various Panorams (film jukeboxes) in restaurants, bars, and bus or train stations. Ms. Truesdale herself is quite lively singing the nonsense lyrics. Also liked the cuts to the trio playing the bass, piano, and guitar. As someone born in the late '60s, it's always fascinating to watch and learn about the music from this particular era before I came into existence. So on that note, Whe's Yehoodi? is worth a look.

Never Met Him

Lane Truesdale and a backing group perform a hot version of the novelty song. Meanwhile, a portrait of a man in a big black beard moves his eyes to take a look at Miss Truesdale's shaking derriere in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, generally about three minutes in length, meant to be played on a Mills Panoram. These devices were installed in bars, nightclubs, and other location that you might find a regular jukebox. Instead of just the record playing, you got a performance. More than two thousand of these short movies were produced from 1940 through 1946.
It's a good musical number with a racy visual content.
