A classic Vaudeville song from the early 20th century. Authorship is not known, but is often attributed to Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, who premiered the song in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1908. The first recording was released the following year. Working on this video I was inspired to wonder who shined that moon anyway?

English Music Hall songwriters Charles William Collins and Fred W. Leigh came up with this lesser known gem in 1918. It extols the virtues of beer versus less virtuous meat. Me adding harp. And a special thanks to Chris Simmons for sending me the lyrics.

Bert Weston and Bob Lee wrote this wonderful English Music Hall novelty song in 1926. I offer it as a singalong, but beware, your tongue is in great danger of getting twisted. Try saying this five times fast: “If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!” Sing it if you dare!

Things get a little hairy for Charlie, as his girlfriend is singularly not impressed with his mustache in this English Music Hall song from the 1920s. Sing-alongs were popular at the time, so join me in the refrains!

Harry Castling and James Walsh wrote “Don’t Have Any More, Mrs. Moore” in 1926, and it became a staple of English Music Hall comedic singer Lily Morris. In that spirit, I offer the song as a good old fashioned English Music Hall sing-along.

This 1876 English Music Hall song praised a very real product, “Doctor De Jongh’s Light Brown Cod Liver Oil”, developed by a Dutch chemist named Ludovicus Josephus de Jongh. The label read, “Highly recommended by Medical Men for Consumption, Diseases of the Throat and Chest, Bronchitis Chronic Coughs, and All Wasting Diseases” and added “Sold by Most Respectable Chemists & Stores”. Oh! Doctor Dear Doctor! oh! Doctor De Jongh! Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong; I can feel very soon I'll be under the soil, If my wife she keeps drinking your cod liver oil

A 1918 classic by Leo Wood, the lyrics are sad, but the melody is unbridled happiness. It is fine on the harp, but the banjolele really makes it pop. I first heard it done by Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band, but it’s been performed by just about everyone including Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Merle Travis, Leon Redbone, and Fats Waller.

This video joins two geniuses: George Seurat and Freddie Mercury. Mercury wrote the song in 1975, and it was on Queen's "A Night At The Opera" album that year.. As for me, let’s just say I am really into art…
