Hollywood, 1942.
Lover.
XMA.
I used to know.
Were the three 1/2
bullets.
Until.
Listen to
his.
Almost no.
I made so many different records, what I must
have made six or seven different combinations
and I always like
to listen, to see which one I like best.
I guess the first one is the best.
The simplest. Yeah.
You played on they try to trick it up a little
bit different.
Continuity is quite
Christmas. The best seller of all of the things
that still does that remain?
Probably you sell more copies of that as an
individual record.
I don't know. There's a my brother
tells me Silent Night. So I don't
know. There's something they have somebody have
to look into. I don't know if there
is probably very little more
there.
I just want to be lazy.
I long to be out
in the sun with
No.
It's a bit of
another song from Paramount's Holiday Inn,
which paired two authentic superstars
of the 40s and 30s, Bing Crosby
and Fred Astaire would
go a marvelous man, really a lot of
fun and a perfectionist because anything
he was involved in really had to be
right.
Any time we did a number together, for
instance, you know, I just have it about
halfway.
Right. But his was always perfect.
I remember seeing him do a number where
he had a long, long routine
firecracker dance and he kept throwing
torpedoes and jumping around to
exploding firecrackers
38 times. He did it solo
and I couldn't see any difference between the
first and the 30th.
But he he did.
And that's the way he did all all these
special numbers.
And he'd work on anything.
He had to work very hard and get just right.
And I was just the opposite.
Pretty sloppy.
We're off on the road to
Morocco, this
camel is tough on the
spine, hit me with a Band-Aid.
That's where they're going, why
we're going. How can we be sure?
I'll lay you eight to five that will
meet Dorothy and get in
line off on the road to
Morocco and hang
on till the end of the line.
I like your jacket. My I hear this
country's where they do the dance of
the seven. They sweep tell you
more. We will have the censor
on our tails.
We certainly do get
around.
Mike Webster's Dictionary, where
Barack Obama and
Jimmy Van Heusen
and Johnny Burke wrote the songs for the Krosby
Hope Limbaugh flick
the Road to Morocco.
I remember that all the snooty
literary magazine reviewers
gave birth a lot of Bauers,
a lot of kudos for the last line
of the song.
And he was quoted widely like Webster's
Dictionary, where Barack Obama.
I thought that was pretty.
It is a pretty serious way of looking at it
then. And kind of, you know,
after this hokey comedy song
where I found the road to
Morocco.
Well, look, I will clear the way
for a concussion.
The many fires sleep on nails
and saw their wives and hair.
It seems to me that should be easier
ways to get less sleep.
My big shoes off on the road to
Morocco.
Hooray!
Hello, everybody has the
green light. Come on, boys.
We may run into villains, but
we're not afraid to run because
we read the story and we end
up safe at home.
Yeah, I certainly do
get around.
Like Webster's Dictionary, where
Morrocco about.
They paid big salaries in those days for
guys that wrote this equation and we
got this because the rest of
you are paid to get it in on time.
Know sometimes they would need it next Tuesday
at nine o'clock. And they weren't worried
about where you were going to find it.
If you didn't have it, you had to get it.
And you were paid to stay up all
night, day after day and get it in
where I was fortunate enough to have a hit
occasionally and come back.
And I kept getting rehired
like a
complete set of Shakespeare that you get in the
corner drugstore for a dollar ninety eight.
We're Morocco bound
or like a volume of overtime that you
buy in a department store at Christmas time.
Or your cousin Julia where
my.
Oh, wow.
We can be arrested.
Another melody by four time Academy
Award winner Jimmy Van Heusen.
I've been alone
most of my life and I've spent all my
life writing music,
playing piano for singers,
doing things musical.
And then that's all I've ever done.
I've never done anything else except fly
airplanes and write music.
The fact that I wrote music at all
is an indication that it was a very sad,
lonesome life. I let you know I had nothing
going except whiskey and,
you know, of airplanes.
And so I my expression was
writing music and I wrote music like
like people would spenard
by the yard.
I took songwriting seriously.
I just got two girls on the level, discovered
girls.
You know, up until that time was,
you know, just playing hopscotch,
but when I really knew what they were about,
I took up songwriting seriously,
like.
Become you.
It goes with your
heart.
You certainly know the right
thing to.
Moonlight becomes.
I will site.
And I could get so romantic,
you know.
You're all dressed up
to go dreamy.
Now, don't tell me I'm wrong.
What a night to go dreaming,
mind if I tag along?
If I say
I love you,
I want you to know.
It's not just because there's
more like, oh.
Light becomes used.
You're all dressed up
to go dreamy.
Now, don't tell me I'm.
Oh,
what a night to go dreaming.
Mind if I tag along?
If I say I
love you.
I want you to know.
It's not just because there's
more.
Oh.
Moonlight becomes
you.
So.
You're listening to The Pop Chronicles
presenting the 40s.
