Songs from the 1940s fall into two categories:
“Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again”
And
“He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”
“Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again”
And
“He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”

he was a trombonist in Hawaii for the whole entire war and would have opinions I’m sure!
he volunteered for the navy as a musician before the war because he didn’t wanna get shot at in a trench
then spent one particularly hellish day surviving his boat being sunk, and the rest of the war as a musician (official and unofficial) there

Liberal: “That’s not funny”
There were Boys in the 40s. There might have been Bubbles in the 40s. But there were never any Boobles in the 40s.
Stop falling for disinformation.
But I can't throw my Big Band peeps under the bus.
Beethoven, Dukas, and Smetana.

They’re both probably songs about sex 😂

"I love my baby's cherry pie
It's the sweetest one in town
She says I'm tops of all the other guys
'Cause I'm always up to go down"
Or were they more 50s?

Well I know there's a song with those lyrics though lol.
People really on here tripping about your post 🤣
Meh, that was like 42 years before me lol
This is a good song. And it falls outside your two categories. Maybe you should broaden your listening?
Gotta go back to the days when racist songs were catchy as hell.
Just like that booble butt I know...
She was a low-down hoochie coocher
I meant I want to meet whoever sang boogie woogie bugle boy at karaoke!!
I’ve known of the Andrew Sisters for at least 20 yrs ;)
Warner Brothers cartoons were on board with the silliness too.
"Don't you know they were the greatest generation who defeated nazis and made groundbreaking music"
And
"Don't you know that generation and all of their music was racist and sexist?"
Shave ‘Em Dry, Till the Cows Come Home. You’re so welcome.
It's so filthy, even SHE couldn't get through it without cracking up!!
I was all about the reefer songs until I heard the really bawdy stuff. But Shave 'Em Dry is in a class by itself.
Kind of a bringdown that so much of it is so... just thoughtlessly sexist. But I guess I decided to view it as a product of its time. Kinda the same problem as separating an artist from their art, usually tough for me.
"We're a mother and daughter lady-of-the-evening team who get lonely, horny American soldiers with disposal income drunk on rum and Coke."

Is that Buddy Rich on drums?
Wikipedia:
“…he (Buddy Rich) participated in his first major recording with the Vic Schoen Orchestra who backed the Andrews Sisters.”
But Rich and Krupa were so young then, who knows? 🥁😎
