This is sensational sound! It must have driven listeners and dancing couples off their feet back in 1930. What a clever and joyful performance! I keep getting a feeling of awe and wonder when I discover time and again new music from those years. This one is a remarkable surprise, if only we could dance to that rythm again, not the crap they call rumba or foxtrot in today`s dance contests.
oh how cool, I had this tune on my flip the frog cartoon on a 8 mm film reel . awesome to hear this again. thanks! . I never knew they made cartoons to 78s! I always thought the band played for the cartoon. Hey it may be here on youtube also! i will check. :)
thanks for posting the video answer with the "flip the frog" cartoon that uses the song ! Great to see such old cartoons (again or the first time) on Youtube !
Thanks for you comment - I never saw this cartoon and knew the only the music. I found the record on a fleamarket and bought it for my gramophone - without knowing about the music. I was very suprised about the funny music that came out of the grooves!
You really need to see the cartoon. It is called the "Soda Squirt" and it is a Flip the Frog cartoon from 1933. It is in a collection of Flips on a DVD that I bought a few years ago on Amazon. The really do a great job of incorporating the whole recording into the animation which is really clever. It was animated by U.B. Irwerks who was one of the great talents of animation.
@kdegru Another thing worth mentioning is how Carl Stalling (Ub Iwerks' pernanent musical director until 1936) combines an excerpt of Mendelssohn's "Frühlingslied" with that tune when a (sterotypically gay?) Fredrich March enters Flip's store.
Thanks for putting this up. I have had a portion of this very recording with me in my head for much of my 56 years. When I was a kid I used to see a Flip the Frog cartoon on the old Early Bird cartoon show on WABC Ch 7, NYC. It is amazing how the brain retains such things. I loved the music then and I still do now and it is nice to find that it had been recorded and I can now hear the complete recording unedited. This version is really great and far superior to anything else I have heard.
And here´s some of the words to match this song:
Ay mama Iné, Ay mama Iné, todos los negros tomamos café.
Ay mama Iné, Ay mama Iné, todo lo negro tomamo café

@kdegru I've seen that: one of the best animation/sound intersyncs I've seen!

@blackeyedjoe I'm uploading the Flip the Frog sequence using this piece - not the full cartoon, just the use of this song.
