I met an elf-man in the woods,
the wee-est little elf!
Sitting under a mushroom tall-
'twas taller than himself.
"How do you do, little elf," I said,
"and what do you do all day?"
"I dance and frolic about," said he,
"and jump about and play!
"I su'prise the butterflies, and when
a katydid I see,
'Katy didn't!' I say to him, and
'Katy did!' he says to me!
"I hide behind my mushroom stalk
when Mister Mole comes through,
and only just to fwighten him
I jump out and say, 'Boo!'
"And then I swing on a cobweb swing,
up in the air so high!
And the crickets chirp just to hear me sing,
'Upsy daisy die!'
"And then I play with the baby chicks-
I call them, 'Chick! chick! chick!'
And what do you think of that?" said he.
I said, "It makes me sick."
It gives me sharp and shooting pains
to listen to such drool,
so I lifted up my foot and squashed
the goddamned little fool.

Al Jolson and Cab Calloway: "I Love to Sing-a" (1936)
Переглядів 228 тис.12 років тому
Music and film greats Cab Calloway and Al Jolson sing about the love of singing. They croon to each other across the perilous gulf between their neighboring high-rise penthouses, teetering on their respective ledges without care. from Disintegrating the Musical: Black Performance and American Musical Film, by Arthur Knight (2002): Jolson's film, The Singing Kid (1936), wanted to stage an explic...
keep smokin that sweet sweet reef!
I've got the southa in my moutha. I've got the queen of the south inside me, the queen angel of the south, Katikina. That's the south. I waved the flag and the spirits rallied around the flag, I called them in, these spirits that went wrong, I cleaned them and plan on keeping them clean. I was born, la ti da. I'm LA, la, the city of angels, Los Angeles, the city of angels. I've got a cheer for uncle Sam, I'm an American. Do I have eternal youth? My heart is where it belongs, I'll have to wait on that eternal youth and wait and see. Tea for two. I'm the 2nd, I'm the 2nd ram of exodus 29 38. I'm the evening. I've got my mammy, all my female angels that gave birth to the baby in front of the dragon. That's the woman that gave birth to the baby in front of the dragon in the bible. That's my mammy. I've got the nations here, the spirit nations who've come in who are lauding my ideas to fix the world. I'm the waterfall, the water. You must be born of the spirit and the water. I'm the water bearer, the Aquarian of the Waters. I sang and waved my flag, sent out my signal and called in the spirit nations who came in along with the queen of the south in the bible. She's my mouth piece, my chest has expanded with billions of spirits who have come in, from the south who are going out to take over the humans and begin changing the world for the better. The United States is becoming number one in the world with my cheer for uncle Sam. Europe is done leading the world and the United States is being raised up as number one. I'm on the radio with the spirits, I've got my microphone, I'm getting the angels back, they listen to me now. The daughter of Tyre spirits and the daughter of Zion spirits which are being freed from hell and released into the world to change it. We've got to clean up the world and keep it clean now that the devil is finished, I'm taking over the spirits and the world. I'm taking over the green, the money for the world, issuing money for the world from the US. I'm generous and will be making many adjustments to money around the world. Oh ain't it grand to live in Green and let your chest expand. We'll be expanding the global economy with much more money and reducing cost, increasing the value of money around the world. That's what Al Jolson is saying here. I'm LA, I'm J's ol son. I'm Jason Bourne. J's son Born. I'm the son. They've spotted me, they've been after me, but I'm alright. I've been fighting the devil trying to keep these sea spirits out of the land, out of Pam Landy. I was bourne a singing foola. They spotted me, but I still have the microphone with the spirits. Yale skull and bones can't do anything. They can boo la but la is fine. I'm getting the moola and getting it out to the world. Put this video on loop and listen to it over and over and read here. The music is important. They sing for me. ■LLXIIX77□
I’m so glad to find this on UA-cam pure gold
Owl Jolson brought me here
Classic
am no expert,but,I believe that's called Art Deco...the building design.
Careful Cab...lol
I could have stood more focus on Cab Calloway. While Jolson was "considered" one of the world's greatest entertainers of the time, frankly his voice is irritating--too nasal and out of the cheeks. Calloway's voice is pure and sharp.
Where’s my looney tunes owl ?
0:55 Hawk Tuah?
Stop.
a young Cab Calloway...he was in the Blues Brother's Movie 1980
ths is GOLD
They’re both terrific.
the era
I can see how many today could take this as a joke but I see the innovation and realize the time
Bro took 2 months too right another comment
2 Icons
This dude was zesty af lol
They both are zesty 🤣
So, the premise is that these two essentially rap battle daily from across skyscraper penthouses. I can dig it.
Owl Jolson
Dammit cartman
whoever posted this is my new hero
Coolest song EVER
Owl Jolson brought me here,I had to know if it was a real song,being the Jolson fan I am,I had never heard it...til now.
Enough is too much
This was like the 50 Cent and Eminem of the 1930s
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the greatest Collab in history
If only these men lived long enough to see the Macarena. I wonder what they would have thought of it?
I love how this spirits me away. I remember the Looney Tunes as a kid ('88) and oh the sound, how it is sung, the arrangement, everything about this tune takes me away! Thank you so much to the Gods we have such music
were they that racists?seriously is like being afraid of witchcraft
they're not on the same stage
Cab and Al on same stage these guys are ICONS
I had to know if Al sang this song a
I was aware of AL,but,not this song til I saw Owl Jolson again
Owl Jolson brought me here!
Cab Callaway

Jim Cornette brought me here.
Everyone loves good music.
Al Jonson's being controlled by visitors!

Sweet White Baby Jeebus...them pants...
