I'm only 12... i love these songs. now it's all about dirty stuff. what happen to the world? These songs are just amazing and very soothing and definately romantic.

[RammosII]

I was born in 1933 and these wonderful songs brought back many memories of my formative years. Please make a version with the songs being played much longer. Thank you very much.

These are the songs I heard from the Radios that were playing in Chicago and across the country. I was not even a teen ager yet. I Don't Want to Set the World On fire was very bpopular along with Paper Doll. My name is Bill.

[brieman2]

I dont want to set the world on fire sounds so creepy sounds like something from a game or movie like bioshock

@Megatravian Nowadays music are a lot about money too.

[Megatravian]

Nowadays the pop songs that are "hot" are all about sex, foul language, death, torture, and meaningless things. Sigh. I wish I lived in the past, where the world isn't corrupted so badly, where love is simple, yet fascinating. Where the music which are hot aren't boring, meaningless pop songs. I will never forget how fallout 3 brought me to the 40s, and I'll never forget I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire.

i love how their voices sound, they're all just so unique
