Recorded by Bix Beiderbecke in the 1920's

I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" is a song from 1927, written by Mort Dixon with music by Harry M. Woods. It was a hit for Art Mooney & His Orchestra in 1948 and was largely popularized by him. In modern times the song is perhaps most associated with Merrie Melodies cartoons, as it appeared in several of them. The Sons of Ben, the official supporters' group of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, have adopted the song as one of their chants, singing at every home match at the 20 minute, ten second mark, symbolic as the founding year of the Union.

n 1948 Columbia records released a recording of the song by Tiny Hill and the Hilltoppers.
The UCLA Band has played an arrangement of this tune since 1954, and uses the chorus as the second part of Rover, the Bruin victory song. Similar lyrics have been used for two other songs.
My Dead Dog Rover by Hank Stu Dave and Hank (Hank Landsberg & Dave Whited) from 1977, which appears on the Dr. Demento 25th Anniversary Collection - The parody version "I'm Looking Over my dead dog rover" was played on Dr. Demento's show for a time.[1]
I'm Lookin' Over My Dead Dog Rover by Kevin Gershon from 1973 and played on KMET FM in Los Angeles
In the 1957 Warner Brothers Cartoon Ducking the Devil, directed by Robert McKimson, the Tasmanian Devil escapes from a zoo; Daffy Duck, on learning that there's a $5,000 reward for its return (and that the escapee is lulled by music) ends up singing to get him back to his cage. I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover is one of the songs he sings.
In the 1952 cartoon Operation Rabbit, Bugs Bunny sings "I'm looking over a three leaf clover that I overlooked be-three."

I believe its spelled I'm looking over a four leaf clover..

[ABrandsma]

@stk38349 thanks! I've corrected it. Will go back to school!

[stk38349]

@ABrandsma I'll be back to school on the 18th of January. Has it snowed in the Netherlands this month yet?

[ABrandsma]

@stk38349 We had a lot of snow, but most of it was December. Suddenly the last three days the temperature went up rapidly, so all snow and ice has gone now.

[DaveWollenberg]

Is good ol'' Slidin' Selena Kuiper still with the DC's, or has she left 'em. Please let me know. God bless!

[ABrandsma]

Hello there,

Selena is still a member, however she is not playing for several months. She is expecting a baby around September 20. and hopes to be back on stage in December.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

But that's amazing!

Hi!

The Dixieland Crackerjacks, as I have never seen before, but with the same way to play Dixieland, as I like it, since I've seen you for the first time on YouTube.

And I know definitively: one day I'll see and hear you live!

Froehliche Gruesse aus
