Arthur Fields - How Ya Gonna Keep'em Down On The Farm, 1919

[brendafohio]

I dedicate this to all the young people in the Middle Eastern countries (hell, all over the world) who have discovered the free flow of information. Discovered they've been lied to and have been living under someone's thumb. Now they have the internet, cell phones, and social networking......they can't be kept down!

On the other side of the 78 Victor record is "How Are You Goin' To Wet Your Whistle When The Whole Durn World Goes Dry" which is a wonderful counterpoint to the victory in the trenches of Europe and returning to a dry America.

WWl Great - love it -

Great song - but as the lyrics imply - it's not really about Paris, it's about NYC (Paris being a euphemism for the Big Bad City which for rural Americans was, and still is, New York).

Delightful. I love the song and I love this sprightly version with the farm animals joining in. And it's so true about enchanting Paree. Great vintage illustrations.

I remember this in For Me & My Gal, Judy Garland sang it. :)

How appropriate, since I just returned from Paree. A still great city despite many changes.
