[norfolk03]

Great job! Thanks!

[Edisonfans19]

Good Video, love the song.

[punchsboy]

Great finish and I really like that you include the verse as well as the chorus. Not many people know the verses to these songs anymore.

[fredjmp]

Fantastic!! thanks for sharing!

[TheJcanno8]

Wonderful rendition--loved it :)

[BigBandHeaven]

Great video...very reminisent of the period. Well done :)

[bloozmonkey111]

Really nice of you for keeping this "forgotton" art form going on YT! Great performance! Cheers

[JamesPriceJohnson]

who was on the piano?

[jazzgirl1920s]

The pianist was Kurt "The Dude"

[JamesPriceJohnson]

what kind of piano was it?

[Shabannie]

You sing so appropriately for a jazz girl. I do love your channel. I used to like to sing. I lost my singing voice within the past few years. I am not exactly sure what happened. Something may have happened in an auto accident. Your voice is very nice.

[parlophonman]

Very nice performance, Dear Jazzgirl !

Greetings from Holland !!

[Bobchai]

I agree with your comment that some of this music, particularly the story-telling kind ("You're the Cream in My Coffee", etc.) requires a vaudeville presentation (BTW, I would love to see you perform that musical gem). Radio never really killed vaudeville, the Depression did. We had a revival of performance art when MTV came along. I have a recording of this song which I first heard from Lee Morse. She was a proto-country dirty 30s star who liked to yodel. Your performance here is refreshing.

[orionedwin]

Fantflappertastic! I love this and I love your attention to detail! 5 giant supernovas!

[althazarr]

I like that you're acting out the scene while singing and having a good time like the old vaudeville days. I'm not very keen on the Nick Nolte look alike though.

[jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks a lot for the complement. The guy on the show with me in this video was not familiar with the style of singing and acting in the 1920's or vaudeville. I had to painstakenly teach him almost second by second what to do. I had to rehearse with him for weeks to get him to the point he could give some kind of approximation of the time on the show.

[roybo1930]

This Is Just So Wonderful! It Looks Just The Way They Did These Skits In This Era. Thanks For Keeping These Great Songs Alive.

[jazzgirl1920s]

Fanny Brice singing this song and acting it out in a movie was my inspiration for this. I have noticed a lot of singers doing these old 1920's songs today just stand still by a microphone and sing. I try to act the songs out in the vaudeville style that was done at the time. Probably one of the best compliments I received from someone who reviewed the Tv show I was on, and which is the source of this clip, said my performance was hopelessly dated and corny. Tells me a did an authentic job.

[ginnykaren]

I loved this. You are brilliant.

[jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks for the compliment. I try real hard to not only sing like the singers of the 1920's but act out the songs like Fanny Brice did in films I have seen.

[JamesPriceJohnson]

nice!

[xevcosmo]

Very nice! And I thought Maria Maldaur had the fun new version. Bravo!

[Vegavox]

A beautiful rendition of this old warhorse!

I do hope that we could meet in future and I'm looking forward to play some good "Eddie Lang guitar" behind your voice.

[jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks for compliment. I worked real hard on trying to sing this in the style of the singers of the 1920's. I live in Los Angeles area and have a band that rehearses on Sundays a couple of times a month. I do everything from 20's jazz to 60's rock to original tunes I composed.

[blutobelushi]

that was awesome!!

[newrochellephoenix]

Honey-I know Fanny would be impressed!

[jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks for that compliment. I try really hard to perform these 1920's songs in the style of the Vaudeville performers of the time. They didn't just stand still and sing the songs, they acted them out and most all of their performances had humor in them. I try to put that old time humor back in my performances. I have been doing this since I was a kid. I watched any old movie or old time performer who appeared in the Ed Sullivan show and tried to imitate their performances.

[jazzgirl1920s]

I was singing Some of These Days and trying to imitate Sophie Tucker when I was 6 years old. The other kids in my elementary school and the teachers thought I was nuts but I kept at it.

[tdub1941]

Fun Stuff! 5 Stars!

RagJazzMonkey Tom

[jazzgirl1920s]

Thanks a lot for the compliment and watching the video. I was trying to imitate Fanny Brice's performance of this tune in a film clip on youtube I saw of her doing it with Robert Armstrong. I can't find the clip on youtube any more. But it was up years ago.

[tdub1941]

Yep. Lots of fun seeing you perform! This is new to me as I had never seen you in action before. A lovely treat for an old goat like me! Or, should I correct myself and say an old RagJazzMonkey?

You are quite a talented chick! Maybe we'll get to see some more vids of you as time moves along.

Best!

Tom

The only other time I saw and heard this song done was back in the 70s,by a Jewish comic actress named Marilyn Sokol. Honestly-I thought it was lox that ended up on the oatmeal! It was Lux?! OY!
