  • FANTASTIC! Nothing like an original. Lots of great singers have sung this song. A classic. The music of the twenties & thirties was the greatest period in popular music. (Only just, lol.)

  • A delightful period piece;Thank you for the compilation.

  • Snappy band and a good old tune- that clarinet sounds like Ted Lewis to me- another favourite- appreciate the notes on the music as well- and the visuals are well done.

    Thanks for your work on this- its appreciated believe me.

  • I love the music and also Clara Bow on this slideshow photos.

  • I much prefer Cab Calloway Screeeaaaming the lyrics in that awsome way he does

  • What fun! A song that seems to describe the classic flapper!

  • Recorded on January 21, 1930, with a vocal by Harold "Scrappy" Lambert {credited as "Ralph Haines"}. Miff Mole is on trombone, and Charles Magnante at the accordion. Also released on the Perfect and Romeo labels...Clara Bow made a somewhat successful transition to "talkies" at the time [despite traces of her Brooklyn accent], but personal and "professional" problems forced her off the screen by 1933.

  • I just love it.... Thank you, you tube for all the great MUSIC..

  • Thanks for the info as well as the video!

  • Bob Haring, Arthur Lange & Paul Van Loan, also figure very heavily in the Plaza group of MDs as well. Vocalist is probably Irving Kaufman singing Straight. The word "Schadenfreude" = Sad Friend(ship). You know you shouldn't but you just can't help but to love that person - it won't go anywhere. Sometimes "forbidden fruit"

    a friend's spouse etc... S.Freud commented a great deal on this matter. Clara Bow is a perfect example of Schadenfreude.

  • born too late . love it and clara too

  • Ah! When music music. Like this version.

    Thanks for posting.

  • The fastest way I know to raise one's spirits! If your toe isn't patting after a few bars (music!) there's no hope!

  • Excellent version!

  • Love the cheerful tune and the exuberant singing about Schadenfreude.

  • One of my favorite words, though outside of German speaking countries, relatively few people know the delightful meaning of schadenfreude. Especially in America: the idea itself is so

    very unAmerican. You know: smile and prattle about universal love and the evils of jealousy, when deep down you hate the...(fill in the blank)

  • that would be a

    German word taking delight in other peoples misfortune . it that not a German trait? EITHER AT YOUR THROAT OR AT YOUR FEET !!!!

  • Poor Clara the "IT" Girl. She had a bad deal in the courts and got fat in the 30's....
