[SephardicHawaiian]

Hilo Hattie used to sing this song.

[Squarerig]

Ain't she sweet!I so enjoyed this clip;thank youcoeurdejeanette

[songadaysara]

I LOVE what you do, Janet! I like how you enjoy covering the sort of naughty songs : )

So awesome on so many fronts.

[stapelgek100]

You're adorable. Such joy in your music. Keep singing.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

Have I actually found another modern flapper? I thought I was the only one!

[Terence1999]

I love this! the ukelele player looks like he's having a great time.

[Keeper1st]

@Terence1999 That's Ian Whitcomb, who gave up rock'n'roll stardom in the 1960s (search his name and you'll find some of his TV appearances from back then) to pursue his love of early-20th-century songs. "My life went artistically upward, but financially downward," I heard him joke once.

[Terence1999]

@Keeper1st Wow, I did google him and saw that he did do quite a bit of musical

tunes. He just seems like someone who enjoys playing just for the enjoyment of it.

[fivnten]

Brilliantly done! Vaudeville ain't dead it seems! Great stuff, Janet!

[Alberad08]

I still click on this vid from time to time and always get pretty much amused. You guys really bring a lot of good mood into people's lives - that's absulutely great! Many many thanks, especially to Janet!

[abba92]

I love this. Very fun! At 2:01 it looks like Janet almost gets the guitar player in the head.

[BesidesDinosaurs]

Adorable, as always. Alas, by the time my family discovered your performances, I had moved much too far away to visit and catch a show. Thus, it is a real pleasure to find you here so that I can at least get a taste of your shows.

[lonso47]

Does anyone know who wrote and performed the original? My mother had this on a 45 record back in 1957 and she and her friends used to dance to this.

[Porlock1]

Oh, I don't know... I have over 2,000 78 rpm records and love silent movies (though they are best appreciated in a theater with an audience). So at least there's on who has the patience...

Don't underestimate the diversity of interests out there...

[vintagemotelguest]

I love it! There's probably not one of you commenting here who ever has the patience to sit down and listen to an old record or watch a 1920s film, but you this you LOVE...

... gotta love trendiness

[poopoomonster]

wait, what, i'm sorry, i was born after the 80s and have knowledge or interest of anything prior to my birth.

don't underestimate people. they'll surprise you every time!

[FrogsGoneWild]

Just found this--she's hot!

[snorkelbda03]

This is absolutely brilliant .

[Alberad08]

This vid is awsome. I must recommend your band to my friends - they will even love you.

[Duke1966]

Mistress of the roaring 20's

[beniedarang]

i really like this...

[anyusmoon1]

LOL This is great! Hula goyals.

[richardbrompton]

Oi! SUCH talent!

[KawhackitaRag]

I like how the melody of this one is (probably intentionally) similar to the earlier hit "Oh By Jingo", which also refers to a lady from the south sea isles. It is kind of a funny inside joke.

[charlester]

ahm, I really want to go to one of their live performances now

[JumpBluesRichard]

I love 20's and 30's Hawaiian music, the band and janet does a great job.

[bedroomghosst]

this is so genuine looking. i wish i could have a lifestyle like hers

[bruceengelhardt]

Is Janet cute in her Ida Mae Wong outfit or what? The whole ensemble is great but how do you turn back seventy years of filmography to make a "soundie" like that? Janet Klien and her Parlor Boys and the Sweet Hollywaiians are amazing and so are their videos!

[dollybirdie]

I love Janet!

[takamine30]

I lov this video...kiss from Spain ( Im Argentino, je ) Muacccckkk!!!

[Juuuuuul]

An 'It's a chick' production hahah, very nice voice, never heard of her before actually...

[sickfeeling]

This is the first artist in years that I instantly purchased the entire discography after hearing a few songs... So wonderful

[idasynco]

That skirt of shredded wheat is hard to beat!

[tdub1941]

Oh, yes, the skirt. I hadn't noticed.

[elsalvadorable]

SOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT

[jkfan2005]

Ah, the nun!  (Janet has mentioned you from the stage... are you SURE the others can't understand the English lyrics?)

[hrmfaeryqueen]

I am waiting for the full length with hula instruction... from your favorite wayward nun!

[tdub1941]

Just wonderful! Janet is a doll.

[idasynco]

I love the way she bends her notes.
