What I enjoy about this lively song is that it has a wonderful tempo and you can understand each word Mr. Vallee sings. What wonderful diction! Thanks for sharing. Music like this NEVER ages!
he made fine records, didn't he---good arrangements, lots of emphasis on the rhythm section, no incongruous introductions and endings like other contemporary bands, etc.....it's easy to see why he was so popular.
gramophoneshane: BTW, what's with the red tassel hanging there? Don't play "The Maine Stein Song" unless there's a sky-blue tassel visible. Otherwise, we'll sic a hungry Maine black bear on ya, and Rudy Vallee's ghost will haunt your days.
Thank you much for sharing this vintage classic. I used to play this old 78 rpm when I was but a child and learned to sing along. When I later attended college I would regale my fraternity brothers with an enthusiastic solo of the Maine Stein Song aided of course by a few steins of my own. Listening to it again brings back some wonderful memories.
great tune, blends perfectly into 'blaze away'

Yay! What a find! The only college song ever to hit #1 on the pop charts, by gorry--even if it was in 1930.
This UMaine alum '74 (grandson of an '11 alumnus) thanks you for the post.
