Busse's Buzzards The Monkey Doodle Doo

Busse's Buzzards_The Monkey Doodle Doo-December 28, 1925. This song was featured in the Marx Brothers 1929 film The Cocoanuts for Paramount. The song is by Irving Berlin. Interesting this recording is from 1925 and the song was used in the Marx Brothers movie from 1929.

Thank you for uploading. I was listening to an episode of Flywheel Shyster Flywheel and the guy imitating Chico was singing this and I had to look up this song luckily you had it on here.

I assume you were listening to a recreation of the Groucho Marx Chico Marx Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel radio show from the 1930's. Do you know one of the actual shows with Groucho and Chico has been found?

This record is actually recorded by Paul Whiteman's band. But under the pseudonym Busse's Buzzards.

A lovely song from the debut of the Marx Brothers on film, The Cocoanuts(1929). =D Thanks for posting this, jazzgirl1920s. =D

I'll always remember this song & watching Coconuts on tv back in the 70's with my grandmother who saw the Marx Brothers perform it on stage in Boston in the 20's.

If you wanted drugs in the twenties, you may not have had paxil but you certainly had legal cocaine and marijuana (the law making pot illegal in '37 referenced "negroes" having sexual relations with white women, and blamed blacks, mexicans and jazz players for corrupting youth). Let's not pretend that our grandparents were saints. Booze was illegal--something even the Prohibitionists came to regret--but drugs were not.

The greatest comedy team of all time.

The Monkey Doodle Doo was the only song from a Marx Bros. movie that was not a success.

In the 30's they didn't have those popular antidepressants we have today. They didn't have Prozac, Paxil or Zoloft. I know those drugs help people, but if you wanted to feel good back then you went to a Chaplain, Laurel and Hardy or Marx Brothers movie. They could not build movie houses fast enough back then, and most of them were glamorous. A very lost era.

The film of The Cocoanuts was released in 1929, but the stage version opened in 1925. I therefore assume that the song was part of that show.
