Man, what a band Fred Waring had...Some of his riffs were extraordinary...Thank you for this classic posting...

[Redsox06]

A quintessential 1920s fun song! 

[Redsox06]

Whatever else you might say about the 1920s, these folks knew how to compose fun songs that people could move to. "Collegiate" is a great example!!

..and this was also one of Waring's first "Orthophonic" (electrical) recordings; 1925 was the year most record labels.ed by Victor, converted from "the big horn" to "the big mike".

Why dont they wear garters? I assume they mean the garters to hold up socks but WHY? And what does it mean to wear an Arrow collar low? I know about the Arrow collar man but what does it mean to wear it low? I had to go look up the sheet music to even figure out what they are saying and still dont know what it means! Darn kids and their slang!

[Tadd1925]

Sock garters, yes. As a wearer of Arrow detachable shirt collars I can say it's impossible to wear a stiff collar "low".

Not bad. The Chico Marx piano version of this song is really good too.

Douglas Fairbanks picked a Pickford for a wife, He should worry if the peas roll off His knife, Whats one girl in a million when You're in our shoes, We Have lots and Lots and lots to choose.

Let's give credit to the composers of "Collegiate," Moe Jaffe and Nat Bonx.

Thanks for the reminder! Moe Jaffe was my father.

whats with the very teeny weeny extract from pirates of penzance at the beggining?

[livingaragtimelife]

Isn't it just "Hail, hail, the gang's all here?"

[Darmondy]

"Hail, hail, the gang's all Here" uses the tune of "With Catlike Tread" from Pirates of Penzance.

[HartfordTommy]

It's the cheese too!

[norfolk03]

Just swell, and how!
