@Ginnyconejita wiki says It was recorded in 1927 by Gene Austin, although the first ever recording was by Irving Kaufman in 1926 on Banner Records. check it out
I only know about this from American Horror Story and i really liked it. And i only remembered it cause i think of it as Troy and Bryan's theme song ;)
@koolbrick ..Oh BS....watch them singing "Melodie D'Amour" when she was about 12 or so and you can clearly see that she DOES sing. incidentally, the word you were looking for is "lip-syncing"
A lil scandalous, the lyrics: "I know with the dawn you'll be gone, but tonight you belong to me." A simpler version of "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (" I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend."). Of course, the Lennon Sisters make it sound fun, wholesome, and harmless, and entirely pull it off, being the good Roman Catholics they are (this is how their folks had 12 kids!).
yeah it is sweet and innocent - maybe those days were better - i just keep getting images of the lennon sisters dad putting on his K.K.K uniform...sorry but 50s america creeps me out
Um, yeah, the music was innocent, sweet, and so full of promise.. But only if you were a white man. I mean, it's fine to want to go back because the music and TV was so great, but there were some SERIOUS problems back than.. Like, serious.
This hit by Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters hit #15 on the Top 40 charts and finished 1956 at #96. On July 9, 1955, Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 with Rock Around the Clock, signifying the start of the Rock Era. In 1956, a black haired boy from Tupelo, Mississippi named Elvis Presley hit #1 with Heartbreak Hotel, shooting this new sound into the stratosphere.
@freylauren In an interview posted on here, one of the Lennons said that they had to pre-record the songs because the overhead boom mic couldn't pic up all four voices equally because each girl was at a different height.
@Drillin4Oil Nope...they prerecorded for mix-placement. I would bet my career on it ;-)
It's excellent singing, but there is no way they could get the vocals centered (in the mix) without the microphone covering up the girls faces. Omnidirectional mic technology just wasn't up to snuff.
The hit version of this by Patience and Prudence is pretty tough to beat. But true to form, Cathy, Diane, Janet and Peggy give them a run for their money with those impeccable vocal harmonies. Love it!
These comments are creepin' me OUT! "THIS one's hotter!" "THAT one's hotter!" How old are they, 8 - 14 ?!! Then on the other side of the fence are the prudes who are arguing this song has no double intendre... Oh, Come ON!! America is a nation of 12 year olds. Half the population wants to be grown up too fast and can't get their minds out of their underwear; the other half are little children stopping their ears to whatever they don't want to hear, yelling "nyah nyah". Grow up already!
When I was little, maybe three or four, I always thought "The Lawrence Welk Show" was called "Dance Party" and I watched the re-runs every Saturday at seven on channel four. It really helped develop my love of music.
This is the simplest of songs and look at how much they with it, particularly the perfectly executed harmonies. At some points it sounds like eight voices.
Sweet, beautiful, innocent, and real. I forgot just how well these girls sang. It's a testimony of where we were back then and where we are now. I would happily go back if only I could. Thanks so much for posting this.
@singinjohnny do you really have any grasp of reality back then in the birth of television? you want to go back to the days of apartheid and and the most painfully racist depictions of blacks? And then you claim this is "real" like music isn't real today? again do you have any grasp of the creation and process of these programs back in the day OR music as it stands today? You'd be surprised how much music out there you just may like. Just a '20 year old' giving his opinion, love this song:)
@TikTakSambo Thirty years from now, people will be looking back to these days and saying "Can you believe they really did/thought that?" about something we take for granted. Every era has its blind spots.
As for music - I am 64 & I love music of many different styles & periods, and to my ear, few things in the last 20 years are worth anything. I have stopped listening to current music because it is simply not enjoyable.
@AnglicanXn Of course! Racism + horrible things are being done everywhere in this world. But on music your comments couldn't be further from false. I believe it's mostly due to the fact taste is a psychological reaction to whats known, and that just as we get older things in this world become more foreign to us in varying degrees. Who knows how confused I'll be in 2060. But I assure you theres music you'd like, the process of finding it is just not your forte. Try watch?v=eRfBqoGVFXc for me
@TikTakSambo I expect that there is good, current music out there now, but almost all popular music is sung by people who could not hold a steady note if their lives depended on it, and many lyrics have no scansion. A huge percentage of music seems to depend entirely on technology not simply to record it but as part of the music itself - masking the skills (if any) of the musician.
I did not understand the link you gave; I would follow it if I could.
@AnglicanXn I'm gonna just send you a message, they don't let us encode comments with videos so I just placed the end of the HTML(look at your address bar) but don't worry I'll use the message to explain myself more clearly and post a ~couple~ songs of the modern day.
@FlierFrank172 Lyrics are poetry, and "scansion" is the meter of a poem - how many syllables per line, the rhythm of the lines. Music has meter, and the beat of the lyrics should match the beat of the music. Most songs up until the last few decades did that.
@TikTakSambo I in no way meant that there is no good music to be heard nowadays. There are plenty of very talented musicians today as well as some great music. The comment was a nostalgic sentiment perhaps coming from reflecting on my childhood back then. The world was certainly in much turmoil back then as it is now. When a person gets to be my age, they become disenchanted and nostalgic. Times aren't any better now than they were then, just different.
@TikTakSambo I've been trying for years myself. All I can say is that it's better to try than not to. Exactly how we do it is something we have to try and figure out on our own since we all have different ideas of just what living life to the fullest is.
well i probabaly dress like what you would describe as slutty
but thats me.
and I like it!
oh and the irony is, is thatyour talking about
sweet smiles and feminine hairdos, and all that innocence. but the song thye are singing is about someone who's sleeping with someone elses boyfriend 'i know you belong tosomebody knew' but 'tonight you belong to me'
is your tryin to amke otu that these girls are all sweet and feminine, and that is what thesong is about, on the surface, but the song is about someone sleepin with someone elses girlfriend
@TheHayterThree Get you mind out of the gutter! This song is not about sleeping with anybody ! It is about a girl dreaming about a former boyfriend...... Nothing else !!!
@SonjaTalton I think you are politically a right-wing RACIST just for using the words"UGLY ghouls" as these two words were used to label most non-whites and all african-americans which is why whites are the weathiest race while African-americans are along the poorest race in America and Halloween and horror movies must be outlawed as they teach and encourage racism and satanism to our young chiuldern.
Whatever happened to being elegant, smart and classy? Why 99% of the girls today have to look like sluts or transvestite? Look at how they used to dress and look at us now.
@Michaeldair lol Nothing wrong with them, and they could be a competition, I mean why not? But they are already transvestites, it's just the way they are and it does suit them. I'm talking about normal girls who're going to the extremes by wearing this really heavy make-up, dressing like sluts and acting so. Sorry if I offended you.
@MissLilNova Boy you're just full of hate first it's the Transvestites, and now it's the Sluts. What the heck is wrong with sluts??? Sluttyness has nothing to do with bad taste, "loss morals yes," but not the inability to apply makeup in a moderate fashion. A better comparison would be Emit Kelly. ; )
@Michaeldair I'm not full of hate. I was just pointing out what's obvious. Girls nowadays do dress like sluts and you cannot deny it. Morals has nothing to do with that...I mean, you can see many well-mannered young ladies dressing up provocatively and were their makeup like Mr. Kelly :) and they are NOT sluts, they just dress up like ones.
well i probabaly dress like what you would describe as slutty
but thats me.
and I like it!

Every aspect of the performance has to do with what is on the surface, from the set, to the clothing and hairdos. notice the posture and the variations on the theme of smile all the time. Part of the fascination is catching a break in character
Is it just me or does the host seem unusually nervous? He's rocking and stumbling in his introduction. I think he almost said "lovely little lemon girls" and he awkwardly pronounces the song title "tonight you belong to me on"?
You are right, he seems a little nervous, but you should read his biography. Welk was born in USA, but his parents came from Alsace, which was German in these days. Today it belongs to France. He was never able to speak english fluently, cause ´till his 21 birthday he only spoke german (i think a kind of german dialect). I like his funny kind of pronouncation, you should watch the clip "Bugle call Polka", and hear how he pronounces the word "Polka"
Who here asked why this is only sung by little girls? First time I ever heard this, it was sung by the Mills Brothers, who were neither girls, nor little (especially Herbert!) For years, it was the only version I'd ever heard, until my local radio station started playing the Lennon sisters' version a lot. Apparently, Gene Austin, Irving Kaufman, and later, Frankie Laine all recorded it, but I've never heard those.
Did the lennon sisters beat the crap out of patience and prudence! Maybe prudence took out two of them but the bloodlust was in thier eyes and the result was foregone.
Well, except for the little one in front, the rest of them are not really little girls, more like teenagers. And the lyrics don't have to mean what you're saying they mean. It was a more innocent time then in many ways. Nowadays of course our minds all go there.
And what, exactly, was I "saying they mean"? I did no such thing. It seems you're speaking for all of us when you say, "Nowadays of course our minds all go there..." Where, exactly, did MY mind go, since you credit yourself with such powers? This is a song about a lost romantic love, Period--and, I maintain, an odd choice to be sung by girls or pubescent young women--especially in the 1950's. Let's not put words in other people's mouths.
I don't think teenagers singing about romantic love is that odd. Singing about a sexual evening together would be inappropriate for these girls to sing about, which is what I assumed you meant. Obviously you didn't. But you have to agree that most people who grew up in the 60's and later would think of the sexual aspect when hearing this song, but I guess I could be wrong.
Exactly what I was thinking. Someone's missed something here, haven't they? I don't wish to rant or rave, which I don't tend to do normally,but I think you are right in what you are assuming, actually.
Thank you for showing such an intellectual outlook upon this matter.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sonja, I agree with you the lennon sisters are great, the young one is so cute and their dresses are nice I guess, but how can you be so sure they werent confused about their gender? I think is statistically possible one of them was a lesbian or something else, we'll never know because they lived in the 50s and they couldn't do much about it. anyway who cares about what they are wearing, or who they have sex with, they are great!
Please, i whant "Tonight", theme from west side story. Tank you!

@SonjaTalton I think you are politically a right-wing RACIST just for using the words"UGLY ghouls" as these two words were used to label most non-whites and all african-americans which is why whites are the weathiest race while African-americans are along the poorest race in America and Halloween and horror movies must be outlawed as they teach and encourage racism and satanism to our young chiuldern.

Whatever happened to being elegant, smart and classy? Why 99% of the girls today have to look like sluts or transvestite? Look at how they used to dress and look at us now.

@MissLilNova What's wrong with transvestites? Too much competition for ya?
Michaeldair 1 year ago
@Michaeldair lol Nothing wrong with them, and they could be a competition, I mean why not? But they are already transvestites, it's just the way they are and it does suit them. I'm talking about normal girls who're going to the extremes by wearing this really heavy make-up, dressing like sluts and acting so. Sorry if I offended you.

@MissLilNova Boy you're just full of hate first it's the Transvestites, and now it's the Sluts. What the heck is wrong with sluts??? Sluttyness has nothing to do with bad taste, "loss morals yes," but not the inability to apply makeup in a moderate fashion. A better comparison would be Emit Kelly. ; )
Michaeldair 1 year ago
@Michaeldair I'm not full of hate. I was just pointing out what's obvious. Girls nowadays do dress like sluts and you cannot deny it. Morals has nothing to do with that...I mean, you can see many well-mannered young ladies dressing up provocatively and were their makeup like Mr. Kelly :) and they are NOT sluts, they just dress up like ones.

Every aspect of the performance has to do with what is on the surface, from the set, to the clothing and hairdos. notice the posture and the variations on the theme of smile all the time. Part of the fascination is catching a break in character

Is it just me or does the host seem unusually nervous? He's rocking and stumbling in his introduction. I think he almost said "lovely little lemon girls" and he awkwardly pronounces the song title "tonight you belong to me on"?
pupustudios 1 year ago
You are right, he seems a little nervous, but you should read his biography. Welk was born in USA, but his parents came from Alsace, which was German in these days. Today it belongs to France. He was never able to speak english fluently, cause ´till his 21 birthday he only spoke german (i think a kind of german dialect). I like his funny kind of pronouncation, you should watch the clip "Bugle call Polka", and hear how he pronounces the word "Polka"

SO is music in general these days. Then again it's a lot more overt these days.
There's no patience or prudence in delivering the sexual innuendo either (pun obviously intended)

I remember Janet and Lawrence welk would dance at the end of the show.
Does anyone remember the Osmond boys when they were young? They got their early exposure in the same way. Only on the Andy Williams show.

I appreciate that but for the most part they played well. I do imagine they had time to rehearse at some point also.

fordman4444 2 years ago 4
Who here asked why this is only sung by little girls? First time I ever heard this, it was sung by the Mills Brothers, who were neither girls, nor little (especially Herbert!) For years, it was the only version I'd ever heard, until my local radio station started playing the Lennon sisters' version a lot. Apparently, Gene Austin, Irving Kaufman, and later, Frankie Laine all recorded it, but I've never heard those.

All they did was copy Prudence and Patience, right down to the last detail of the arrangement. Still nice.

Did the lennon sisters beat the crap out of patience and prudence! Maybe prudence took out two of them but the bloodlust was in thier eyes and the result was foregone.

As much as I love this song AND the Lennon Sisters... WHY is this song always sung by little girls? Listen to the lyrics...
nauort23 3 years ago
Well, except for the little one in front, the rest of them are not really little girls, more like teenagers. And the lyrics don't have to mean what you're saying they mean. It was a more innocent time then in many ways. Nowadays of course our minds all go there.
cricketrecords 2 years ago 6
And what, exactly, was I "saying they mean"? I did no such thing. It seems you're speaking for all of us when you say, "Nowadays of course our minds all go there..." Where, exactly, did MY mind go, since you credit yourself with such powers? This is a song about a lost romantic love, Period--and, I maintain, an odd choice to be sung by girls or pubescent young women--especially in the 1950's. Let's not put words in other people's mouths.
nauort23 2 years ago
I don't think teenagers singing about romantic love is that odd. Singing about a sexual evening together would be inappropriate for these girls to sing about, which is what I assumed you meant. Obviously you didn't. But you have to agree that most people who grew up in the 60's and later would think of the sexual aspect when hearing this song, but I guess I could be wrong.
cricketrecords 2 years ago
Exactly what I was thinking. Someone's missed something here, haven't they? I don't wish to rant or rave, which I don't tend to do normally,but I think you are right in what you are assuming, actually.
Thank you for showing such an intellectual outlook upon this matter.

sonja, I agree with you the lennon sisters are great, the young one is so cute and their dresses are nice I guess, but how can you be so sure they werent confused about their gender? I think is statistically possible one of them was a lesbian or something else, we'll never know because they lived in the 50s and they couldn't do much about it. anyway who cares about what they are wearing, or who they have sex with, they are great!
