[SpiderBatwoman]

This was hilarious in the Andrews Brothers musical :)

[zamusicza]

It's funny how many people my age when we see and hear stuff like this we say "I was born in the wrong time" I would have love to have been a Rosie the Riveter.

It's good to see that I'm not the only 15 year-old who loves them, my friends may make fun of me but seriously how can you possiby not love them!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PokemonHazCookies]

I'm 15 and this is the music of my childhood. I don't care if it's not lady Gaga, i love it. The other day i sang it as a duet with my Grandfather and he cried and said it reminded him of singing it with my late grandma who was his childhood sweetheart during WW2<3

[joshnieder]

@PokemonHazCookies Good man. At least SOMEONE else has good taste in music and not singing lady gaga crap. I salute you good man. And anyone who tells you, "Your a pussy", "Grow a pair," FUCK them. they dont diserve to talk to people like us who actually have GOOD taste in music.

Keep it up :)

[maleficentdiva]

[NeverAgain1985]

[TheMaddyLynn]

My favorite part is 0:00-3:06.

[gjvalent]

It wasn't until I saw and heard this clip, that I learned Harry James could blow a horn like Maynard Ferguson.

[23deya23]

[sunnydale22]

I love this. It just makes me wish I could have been alive during that time, despite all the hardships, despite anything. I wish it were possible to time-travel!

[superwaymet2]

im 16 and this is all i listen since i was 12 is this, the 40-50-60's music. my parents don't really like it cause were latin and they say they wont listen to music that's older than them especially if its in english. so according to them i'm the black sheep. but this is real music.

[Linkage1992]

@superwaymet2 they look down on you because you like listening to older music? what kind of parents are they?

[superwaymet2]

@Linkage1992 they kinda do. i have a really weird family compared to a typical american family. the don't hate me they just not open to different things like me.

[paperman812]

2 people are not very very sure of you

[Aedecamp]

nice to see somebody shares my view. i play piano and bassoon. i love classical. But I LOOOOVE 40-50-60's music

[gjvalent]

I Even though it's very short in this clip, I never realized that Harry James could blow like that ! Sorry that he's gone.

[Teutschvoelkisch]

Gelungenes Lied - ich hörte es übrigens das erste Mal in "Charmed".

[Monicapfan]

1:21 the guy was funny when kept dancing. Love the song. Classic, timeless.

[riyogirl93]

Lmao I died laughing when that guy was hit and then shoved away like that. They're reactions and such were hilarious lol love ya sisters~

[PoppaBlue59]

@riyogirl93 That guy was Shemp Howard, of the Three Stooges.

[JaanStevens]

stinkiewinkieeee

[bettylyarbery]

I love this song

[MrCraig1930]

During World War II, I remember people working hard to win. My brother was with the 13th Army Air Corps. Everything was rationed, you had to have a gas ration book just to buy gas for your car. I remember every Cafe having a sign that said "use 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir like hell we don't mind the noise".

[malkam506]

I prefer the version in the movie Devil

[alamrisa]

everything was classy back then... i bet even taking a dump>> oh my

[TheMovieman159]

OMG it's Shemp Howard from the three stooges!! :)

[EmanDerJager2010]

[LaWoman071]

"Sitze nicht unter dem Apfelbaume" ist ein tolles Lied :D

[12tinkerbell123]

this is acctually AWESOMEEEEEEE im preforming this song soon the dance moves are hillarioues :L

[JohnnyRulesStuff]

love the apples at the end lol!

[wntoply6]

hollywood & american music did so much during ww2 to help boost the moral of our troops fighting in the european & pacific theathers.

it was our secret weapon & something neither hitler or the japanese realized just how instrumental it was defeating them. it made our men & women want to win the damn war & get back home to their loved ones as soon as possible.

so, when the right today damns hollywood for their liberal leanings, just remember their legacy in helping to preserve american freedoms.

[TheMizzouriJayhawk]

@wntoply6 the difference between then and now is Hollywood was a little more centric in their political leanings and the divide between the ideologies wasn't as great as it is now. the country was a little more purple then, rather than the red and blue we see today.

[wntoply6]

@TheMizzouriJayhawk also, remember there was a real enemy during ww2. today we are more informed, more educated, and our access to media has been increased 100 fold.

because of those facts, there is more of a diversion in opinion. it has nothing to do whether hollywood was more centric, they were as liberal then as they are now. it's just that we are much more aware today than we were then, and more apt to decide on our own whether the government is doing the right thing or not!

[EdWatts]

@TheMizzouriJayhawk

Don't forget that, back then, nearly everyone who lived in the United States loved the country -- even those who were less fortunate.  There were no hyphen-Americans, and those who were seen as anti-American were quickly shown the door...or worse.

[Crimsonvata]

@wntoply6 Unfortunately, those people in Hollywood are now dead and all that's left is Lady Gaga.

[joshnieder]

@Crimsonvata THANK YOU.... COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

[vev46]

So why is Shemp's face smudged out???

[RampSlave]

SHEMP!!!!!!

[luckyjopot]

really great comedian love them so much!

[RM4FS]

Harry James is the band leader. I saw him at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas around the time when Betty Grable died.

[trainlover476]

HORRAY FOR SHEMP HOWARD!!!!!

[Twom44]

@trainlover476 I wonder how many oter people noticed Shemp? Good eye.

[trainlover476]

@Twom44 I actually saw a documentary of the three stooges and it said that Shemp was in this movie and I looked at this scene and there he was

[MacheLPA]

Las mejores!!!Fantásticas!!!

[TheQuesoviejo]

the music of winners

[elphiebusayong]

I SOMETIMES WISH I WAS BORN DURING THEIR TIME. WITH THESE GREAT PIONEERS OF JAZZ (?) MUSIC! <3

[MadsNoble]

@elphiebusayong Bid Band...but like Jazz.

[BlueJaeya]

i get such feelings of nostalgia listening to stuff like this

[YrYLaVey]

How can one person dislike it?

[1815ish]

These songs must have been great moral boosters for US troops during WW2.Amazing.Have modern artists seen this????

[shonshrinks]

its not a clip, its a part of the movie "Private Buckaroo" (1942) where they sing it.

[shonshrinks]

Home home home sweet home!

[Nobody7676]

Ahh, memories, I am 14, however I can remember at least 2 and hearing my dad sing this for me to sleep, I would stare out my window and stare at the old apple tree, hee hee.

[hawkeye4771]

no i believe millie and jerry have since passed on as that was around 1985 or so and if they were possibly 25 in 1945 that would have made them at least 65 at that time, they would be 90 nowadays. i seem to recall her calling me once [later] and saying how she missed jerry as he'd died a year or so prior so i'm sure she has since passed on and joined him. such a sweet couple to sit with them and hear them talk of their younger days romancing each other during the war.

[hulkyone]

The Andrew Sisters are proud product of my home state of Minnesota. We also Judy Garland, Bob Dylan and Prince.

[Rikki0]

I know Curly was most folks favorite stooge, but Shemp was always my favorite. And everyone loved the Andrews Sitsters. Thanks for the memories.

[spookyspooked]

what a charming song!!

[joeypolanski]

Shemp!

[pinwizz69]

Funshinestate, YES YES YES. That was it ! That movie will always be one of my favorites. I first watched it as a kid home with the flu with my Mom Betty while she was doing the ironing. That and I like both actors I really liked. Thanks.

[MaraMJackson]

@pinwizz69 Which movie is this?

[JahdeneKiller]

this is so hot!!!! ^_^

[SeleCure]

<3 AW, Love this song... and love the movie in dreams (; thats why I know this song :)

[pinwizz69]

That is shemp. He did quit a few 'cameos" & extra acts before & during the time he was a stooge. The first time I heard this song I was home sick from school. My mom was ironing laundry and I was lying on the couch. We were watching a Robert Mitchum WWII movie. He was trapped on an island with a nun that was occupied by "Japs" To this day I hear this song and miss my mom.

[funshinestate]

Was the Movie heaven knows Mr. Allison?

[Gullahboy]

The guy in the soldier uniform looked like Shemp from the 3 stooges

[Georgewos]

It is Shemp.

[belladeballe]

Very cool! I'd never heard the beginning before today about the "I wrote my mother, I wrote my father..."

[wizotch]

my mom had this song i loved it when i was young

[vegeboyx]

I wish I could see this kind of shows today as well - instead of those half naked feather brains you have to watch in the TV!

[MadsNoble]

Yea, The ones who had real talent stopped showing up in this century (now, not then, I don't want a misinterpreting)

[mcveljo]

@vegeboyx : Totally agree with you!! :((

[evilokc]

@vegeboyx i wish i could watch half naked chicks that could sing like this!! now thats a show.

[paperman812]

@vegeboyx actually its a movie......... its private buckaroo

[Kaalec]

My lord, they're good. Unique, fabulous voices. Ultimate entertainers. Really, truly brilliant. There's nobody who comes close today.

[keltyk]

to Kaalec- they're brilliant- think they're inspired by The Boswell Sisters- their predecessors- i think you'll like them- check them on youtube

[Kaalec]

Hey keltyk, thank you for telling me about the Boswell Sisters. They're amazing.

[keltyk]

Yr welcome Kaalec- hope they made your day- spread the word- the world needs the good music again

[Kaalec]

You have that right. The world needs to hear what real music sounds like instead of the over-produced, under-talented crap that passes today. Beyonce can't hold a candle to any of these women and she's one of today's better singers.

[CHRISNICX]

this is so catchy!!!

[Gaetano0926]

This was one of my favorite... still is! Great song.

[TheGuardianDemon]

Teaching my class that I'm not all New Wave, Goth or Punk. Time to teach my listeners it's time for Class

[godkiller39]

nice song

[willobi]

fallout 3 is to blame for getting for hooked on the andrews sisiters.

[valzilla2000]

Lol me too i was listening to a bunch of  40's music on SIRIUS radio on tv lol

[hawkeye4771]

i used to DJ a country show on a small town radio station. one day an elderly lady called and requested i play this song for her husband and her. i did and stopped to visit them after my show. it was then that they told me thats the song he sang as he boarded the train to go off to war and waved to her as the train pulled away. shaking his finger at her as he sang" don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me". as the train pulled away. i was only too happy to fit that song on my show

[nycvia83]

thanks for sharing this story it is very sweet

[demco271]

@hawkeye4771 .I suppose they are no longer with us

[RememberSoCal]

@hawkeye4771 i duno why, but comments like that and these songs every once in a while make me tear up. and im only 17 haha

[MultiMatt2009]

@RememberSoCal Totally Agree!!!!  =)

[jkitovar05]

@hawkeye4771

That's so awesome,my Grandparent's used to tell me a similar story about my Grandfather(who was fighting in the Pacific) ending all of his letters to my Grandmother wih that line!

[birdmanofbooze]

@hawkeye4771 great story...Thanks

[4gs8vh4gs8vh]

@hawkeye4771 that is a great story!!!! thx!

[Stingercam21]

@hawkeye4771 1940's the world went mad with the war, horrible times for everyone on any side. Music was just the temporary getaway for problems and worries, fathers, brothers, husbands, sons all went to war. Very tough times believe me. Music and shows were made for cheer up moral

[shoelace52]

@hawkeye4771 That is precious. :)

[AudiGal09]

@hawkeye4771 that's a lovely story :)

[blondstreak]

love love love this song! i think i'm using it for my tap solo :)

[LRRHowie94]

Was that spill on purpose??

haha! I sang this in a 40's style concert thing in the 5th grade like a billion years ago! haha! My little group did a skit and we were a wheaties comercial and I did a mock interveiw were I was Judy Garland! haha! Sorry for making you listen to all that! just a reminicent moment!

[TheArtsyTuber]

Woah! What a spill! Good thing she planned that

[makebelieveballroom]

WOW! Patty, Maxine, and Laverne with Harry James and Shemp Howard! Gotta love that Andrews Sisters Harmony! Thanx for posting. Willie D.
