"He'd Have To Get Under" 1914 Played On 1910 Edison Amberola 1A Phonograph Billy Murray Cylinder

Here is Billy Murray with a great early automobile song, "He'd Have To Get Under Get Out And Get Under (To Fix Up His Automobile)" played on my Amberola 1A. This song was featured (but not sung by Billy Murray) in Ken Burns' documentary "Horatio's Drive". What I find immensely interesting is that the sheet music you see here from my collection indicates Al Jolson's Hit - but has anyone out there ever seen a vintage record of Al Jolson singing this song? If you have the record I would like to see it as I believe that I have all of Jolson's early recordings and this song is not featured on any of them. I hope you enjoy the Amberola and the cylinder. Thanks for stopping in for a visit.

Other than this recording by Billy Murray, the only recording I know of for this song was by the Hoosier Hotshots in 1939--and that also was a doozy, as the song's listeners might have said.

@musicmandon1 Thanks for the comments. I'm sure that I have other artists as well on early recordings doing this song but by Al Jolson at the time this sheet music was printed? I'd have to see that record to believe it.

people ahve forgotten already how it was in the very beginninig of the automoblie but than somethings have never changed either you still ahve to do this on occsion even today

but in the r eraly days before many of the roads were ver paved you ahd to do this a great f dela more of the time thus songs like this did describe how it was in the beginning ah the early days of the automobile

This song was also mentioned on a Nova special dealing with the brain and memory. An former actress was talking about remembering this song playing on a gramaphone as a little girl. All she could remember was the partial refrain, "Get out and get under...."

@Alphonsus0di0Ligouri Interesting comment on Nova.... I have not seen that documentary yet - although my primary interest in that regard is with history documentaries. Thanks for your comments.
