Let's misbehave

[Badgaldinger]

Anyone have the Johnny Dangerously version?

[SargeantJLW1943]

The beggining of America's greatest generation

[ABTHENTA]

Thumbs up if you looked up this song after watching Easy Virtue :)

[MakwaAment]

Who is the song artist?

[MartaCelmina]

@MakwaAment

Irving Anderson & The Commanders

[ObliviousBurrito]

Ah 20's, superficial prosperity and bootleggers for all.

[schornstein]

who sings this?

[joshberretyaskovich]

lol love this in "everything you always wanted to know about sex (but where afraid to ask)" by Woody Allen XD

[caracazo22]

Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About This Song * But Were Afraid to Ask!!!

[tonilovesTW]

who sang this? :)

[Shangas]

@tonilovesTW Cole Porter, the guy who wrote it.

[tmmvds]

@Shangas The singer is Phil Saxe, not Cole Porter.

[lordsergeo]

This is a song for the Gangsters that Know how to get by in a bad economy. All my real gangsters and bootleggers on here, you know who I'm talking to and about and for you I raise my glass in salutes. Let's Misbehave!!!!!

[homelesshannah50]

I got this from The Simpsons

[hulkyone]

@homelesshannah50 I remember that episode. They played it when Marge and Homer went a wild spree. That fake Bible he carried was a hoot.

[Yaarrr]

I hate when people say they'd love to live in this age. Enjoy your world wars and polio.

[Shangas]

@Yaarrr Yes perhaps, but 2011 isn't a bed of roses either.

Music used to be a household staple for entertainment. About 15 years ago I found a huge stack of Guitar magazines from the 1920's. Each issue had page after page of communities across the United states and their local talents. At the time I respected the music that came from this era. Since I had played guitar for nearly 20 years at that point I could go through the tunes quickly and get a feel for the era. However, it wasn't until I took up the organ that 20's & 30's music really came to life.

[mrsmelcg88]

i wish i could live in that age!

[dannyboy12357]

lol the 20's

[nzlotrfan]

@77flapper I LOVE it too! Your grandmother was oh so lucky to live in such a wonderful musical era!

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

Don't get me wrong, I hate lady gagas' music..

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

Vintage lady gaga

[hungarianguy]

I love Cole Porter but have to admit, everytime I hear this song I think of the Woody Allen film, "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex". It plays over the opening credits.

[zielonodup]

Vintage Punk Rock

[BenBarnesRules]

I love this song :)

[pinkieldred]

I would have loved to misbehave with these flapper girls...MMMMMMM !

[MrDeCorey]

Fantastic I love this song. Wow 1928 that was 82 years ago.

[lucke001]

i MUST have that song :( does anyone know the link?

[TheOfficialBlarg]

@lucke001 dirpy it. or if you really want to go crazy, i dunno, ITUNES?!?

[lucke001]

@TheOfficialBlarg i can't use itunes..

[WickedxWitchx1313]

Ah! You Never Know! Great Musical!

[anneleenhartjekooks]

This is GENIUS. Wow, I wish I had lived in the 20´s

[brewerboy]

OMG..this is great! I love this stuff!

[silviasmeu]

Recently I've heard some good songs from the 1920's but this is my favorite :X

[PyroPete91]

Very nice slideshow :) I enjoyed it!

[elisawashere95]

i love this song it was in Bullets Over Broadway

[EvilLizard1192]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Always fun in the twenties. Not always, but close enough.

[abejaonce]

I know it´s very old, I know Cole Porters´s life...and I´m so thanksful for whoever posted this song up to U Tube.. this is a Springtime song!!! Love is in the aire....or at least ...lust is....as Maestro Salieri would say ...so...let´s MISBEHAVE!!!!

[birdandthe]

whos the band?

[MinxieLoli17]

I love that era :D

[77flapper]

I believe you!!! With style and elegance - nothing can be wrong!

[luvebug21]

i would dress in drag and i would totally pass for a girl.sexi one aha lol

[77flapper]

I LOVE THE 1920´s AND 1930´s!!! My grandmother told me so much about this time when she lived in vienna. It seems that people were "flying" at this time! People loved the life - and it was not always easy!

[martinlindsgaard]

why don´t find a timemachine to take us back? - my grandfather told about the Charleston and how the danced it etc....living in Denmark.... :-)

[hulkyone]

@77flapper The 1920's was indeed a prosperous time to many and indeed the flapper movement was quite a revolution for women's rights. However, it was a false prosperity. Rural areas suffered greatly from government neglect, the profitable liquor industry was unable to produce a mass number a payroll jobs because it was unconstitutional, people relied too much on the stock market and Europe was in shambles. The crash was ready to happen from all these economic factors

[TheRussia1917]

god l wish l'd been around then

[luvebug21]

If i were back in the 1920s oh how the guys would be all over me.1920s guys were hott:P

[77flapper]

luvebug21: That´s right! Guys and also the ladys...they were so elegant!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

You can all misbehave all you like! But I Ain't Misbehavin'! I'm saving all my love for someone in a corner like Jack Horner, just me and my Radio.

[LorieKins]

I like all the old photos, and this should be my theme song! I like to misbehave alla da time! Tee hee hee!

[heald111111111111111]

Anybody know who this is performed by?

[23L]

Irving Anderson and his Commanders!

[sondrap]

Actually, it's Irving Aaronson And His Commanders.

[4Clubs]

Yes. It was Cole Porter.

[egalitarianist]

Sung by Phil Saxe and chorus.

[JulieWong80]

Cheeky and charming. How delightful! * * * * *

[franzchick66]

I wish I lived back then! The fashion! I love the flapper dresses girls used to wear. And the cloche hats!

[larbacmc]

I wished I had lived in the 1920s, those were the good old days. Today everything is crap the anti-smoking anti-drinking and todays anti-drug laws. Since the anti-smoking laws the cancer is 4 times what it was since the 1980s when the anti-smoking laws started and now 4 times the cancer since. Another failed prohibition that has not worked. Nonsmokers getting lung cancer who never smoked how does one explain that then cash before care death sentence to top it off. Wish lived in the crazy years

[quodlibette]

larbacmc, aren't you the cheerful little madcap! You'd be the toast of every speakeasy I'm sure.

[luvebug21]

LA LA LA LA dam dam dum. Such a wonderful music. im in love with the 1920s Jazz age:)

[lyon69france]

Just seen the British film " Easy Virtue " by Stephan Elliottt. ( 2009 )

An excellent film picturing the " explosive " meeting between America and England in the thirties !!!

A young American woman ... just married to a young English man ... and back to England.

Kristin Scott Thomas is absolutely great, as a rigid aristocrat lady and mother-in -law ... coldly and stiffly ... welcoming modern Larita.

Traditional English manners ... resisting or even ... fighting ... yankee modernism.

[cheekyfruit]

i just saw it aswell, i enjoyed it very much and it motivated me 2 look up this song. KST is a wonderful actress, catch her acting in french in "I Loved U So Long", if u havent already. : )

[lyon69france]

Of course, I've seen the Great Moving and Poignant French film " Il y a longtemps que je t'aime " by Philippe Claudel ... and even bought the DVD !

The wonderful story of K.Scott Thomas just released from prison, and welcomed by her young sister, after 15 years without seeing each other ... and we learn her painful secret ... in the end.

The title comes from a French nursery rhyme " A la claire fontaine " that you can find with English lyrics on You Tube !

PS : K.S.T lives in France.

[lyon69france]

... to change ... or even ... revolutionize British Upper Class !

Will she succeed ???

... with a lovely frenzy dance to this American song of The Twenties :

" Let's Misbehave " by Cole Porter.

Great great song and music of The Roaring Twenties, called in French : " Les années folles " ( The crazy years ).

Charleston and Dixieland music, just delightful to me !

" Easy Virtue " is a highly recommended film ... to enjoy English " atmosphere " of the past, ... and deadpan humour !

May 09.

[theboop]

Thanks! This is swell!!!

[algarcia8691]

Wonderful twenties...

[cemeterydude]

thanks for such a fun video!!

[martinlindsgaard]

Cole forever! ;-))))

[prierias]

ah feel like swinging!

[mrchrille1]

I agree... simply wonderful and splendidly done!!

[martinlindsgaard]

simply wonderful tune and great video with wonderfull pics! Splendidly done!

[JohnRinNoHo]

Check out Isabella Brave's version of this tune.

[NiftyNataliePollock]

My feet are moving ..I can't stop them...just like my mother and her sisters when they danced on tabletops. They did the charleston and were FINE FLAPPERS

[pinkieldred]

A good example of Irving Aaronson's music of the 20's-30's. Some of "Aaronson and His Commanders" noted sidemen were Artie Shaw,Gene Krupa, Tony Pastor to name just a few. Ohhhh...those flappers girlie gurls and this wonderful music....!!!

[pinkieldred]

Ohhh and I forgot..another great Cole Porter song!

[laughattax]

this is my favorite song ;)

[GBOY69GAY]

Wonderfull girl video with Cole Porter music :)

[Mrphrozt]

a shiny nickel and a friend for life to any of you who can get me an mp3 of this song.

[xXxLocknLoadxXx]

I can :)

[GrenvilleT]

Ah. What genius. T'would be the great event of 1928, dear...

Odd in 2008 to still be remembering this number...

[FoPo4]

The feeling the "great event of 1928" must have been the Cat's Meow. Isn't amazing how the '20's could be "distilled" into just a few songs including this one: Plus The Black Bottom, Varsity Drag and of course, The Charleston.

[gordonH51]

Agree with FoPo4,those songs are good reps for the roaring 20's, I would put 'DOIN' THE RACOON' on that list as well and what about 'CRAZY WORDS, CRAZY TUNE' ?

[BardCoennius]

As a Cole Porter fan, I consider this Aaronson recording (from March 1928) as the "definitive" version of what is arguably one of the raciest, most suggestive and clever songs ever written.

[JimmyDaKoik]

Awesome stuff! Love the 20's! Wish I'd been around to enjoy it. The music, the style and especially the flappers. Love that short bobbed style. I swear I'm so sick of todays long, straight and terminally dull hairstyle that women wear now. Ugh. Give me a dame with a Brooks or Bow cut anyday!

[pinkieldred]

I agree! Oh how I love those "Flapper Girls" and that wonderful music.

[prierias]

just love this!

[toronstganymede]

... oh you kids ! .....

[prierias]

just love this

[pinkieldred]

Right ..have the courage to listen to what you like...you like! Today its all so much show and "noise" it the perfect example of "people hear what they see".

[pinkieldred]

Turn off the TV's ....bring on the flappers, lets misbehave !

[Nordra]

Dude, I LOVE this song! :-D

Thank you so much for uploading!!! *hugging and squeezing*

[DeutscherSkorpion]

It's such a pity that I was born 60 years too late... I would have loved to live in Berlin in that time, it was the European capital of the "Roaring Twenties" (or as we call it: The "Goldene Zwanziger") !!

Who performed this version of the song???

[violasinger]

I think it's Christopher Walker.

[violasinger]

that war supposed to be walken

[steve89z]

walken?

[Dagrecco1982]

I say the same thing, I wish I was born in the 20's. By the way, the performers are Irving Aaronson And His Commanders.

[brewerboy]

OMG..this is the era that I love and write about....thanks for this great montage....and the song??? I love it!!

[moxie99027]

Thanks for posting this song. It really made my day. Love this old music.

[haaatz]

my step dad gave me 6 compilations of jazz from the 1920s era that he converted from his old 78 records and they didn't come with the title. this IS one of those songs he sent and i love them. glad to see other people out there who appreciate jazz from that era. i'm only 20 and my friends think i am weird for listening to such songs.

peace out.

[Nd179]

This is awesome! Thanks so much!

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

I miss the good old days.

[pinkieldred]

OH...Oh I love this...it's so cutesy,sassy.And yes sooo musical, ahhh I wish I lived in the twenties :( Yes I'll accept your invitation to subscribe to your great stuff...

[theonewhitstyle]

thank you.

[druNkwriter]

Christ, the wonder of the age! Flapper styles will prevail! Irving Aaronson's recording is my total favorite... I used to have a chick singer who would do this tune with me... Those were the good old days. Now it's all about this "The Internet," and "The Google," and, "Where Can I Find 'The Porn?'" Damnation, how times change...

[slowly building a video that will make you weep like a LITTLE GIRL!~!!!!!]

Cheers, kiddo: great stuff!

[theonewhitstyle]

hehe...

yes,The Internet,the invention of the devil...

anyway...thanks.

And-

ALL YE FLAPPERS OF THE WORLD,UNITE! ;D

[BambooPanda1313]

@druNkwriter yes but without the internet so many of us would not be able to find this stuff and wouldn't be exposed to the world. I love the old days even though I'm only 23 I love this stuff and I like modern artists too, but without the internet I wouldn't be able to indulge in this stuff or find these great old recorded versions!

[mic33george]

This is just so "stylish",so am glad to see "theone withstyle" lives up to his "name"!!What is the band playing this fantastic song which i think was on "Bullets over Broadway"?

[theonewhitstyle]

hey,HER name,that is.

It's Irving Aaronson and his Commanders.

And Bullets over broadway is one of my very favourites,and also correct.

and thank you.

[theonewhitstyle]

this song also featured in Pennies From Heaven...

in a rather strange context...

[mic33george]

I do apologise,i thought it was your favourites that indicated you were a "he" but i was muddling my "you-tubers"!!the character Helen St Claire is just the best in"Bullets Over Broadway"

[theonewhitstyle]

Yes!

god,I love this movie.

[scotpens]

Woody Allen also used this song (to great comic effect) for the opening and closing credits of "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)" -- with the titles superimposed over dozens of rabbits!

[machinemolle]

Foul language, too. I might have expected as much.

I shall not be tempted. (It's easier at my age.)

[machinemolle]

Those crazy kids with their hip flasks and cigarettes and rolled stockings and wop-a-dop-dop music. What's the world coming to?

A Concerned Clergyman

[theonewhitstyle]

It's coming to a horrible,but fun ending!

[machinemolle]

Not if we stern advocates of displeasure and disapproval have anything to say about it, by Gawd.

[theonewhitstyle]

Damn it,you!

Stop being such a party blooper!

Join in!
