Sounds like the tune Ricky Ricardo's band played for Lucy when she thought she was dying of the "Go-bloots". hee hee

Thank you for this wonderful video!!!

Aside from the amazing performance, this movie shows us how far we have come in under 100 years. This was the best of film technology and production back then. Also, socially it shows how we've adopted more humanitarian views. It gives me hope for the next hundred. After all, What's next? War to be considered in-humane and in bad taste?

@lildestructicon Thanks for stopping by the 1920s museum and commenting. Hope you got as much pleasure out of this little "mini-movie" as I have. PH01

this is the scariest shit ive ever seen

[preservationhall01]

@SpikeSuperSonic you must lead a very sheltered life

[judygrell]

I'd also like to know where you got your info. re satan. Ridiculous. His religion was Jewish. He joked about that in his act.

[RetroTony1959]

@judygrell It's no secret that Sammy Davis Jr became chunny with Anton Levay in the 60's and became a member of the church of satan. Mr Davis was quite open about it.

That's right... your kids pale in comprison haha

It's very poignant watching that little boy dance his heart out.

[caloscalante1518]

ok personal life apart... MJ could sing and dance and write songs... Sammy Davis Jr could sing, dance, act , do stand up, and was a great impersonator ...therefore he is a more COMPLETE entertainer whether MJ's life was messed up or Sammy worshipped the devil at one point does not hinder the fact the Sammy Davis Jr was a pound for pound better entertainer than MJ

[Furienna]

@caloscalante1518: No disrespect to Sammy Davis Jr, but even if he was comedian on top of singing and dancing, it doesn't make Michael Jackson less talented or an inferior entertainer. (For one thing, they were both really talented already as kids.) They were just different entertainers for different generations. MJ obviously admired SD Jr though, as he wrote and sang a tribute song, "You were there", for him.

[dyhard678]

@BerkeleyBuilt agree!

[JarheadPatriot0311]

Wow! all those people in back of him dancing around are lying in a grave right now!

The entire film is one of the most racist things you've ever seen. Chicken, pork chops, watermelon etc.

[Shabannie]

My Carole Lombard video had a picture of her and Clark Gable eating watermelon. They were eating a big slice picnic style. Watermelon is very sophisticated, ha.
