very good catch, thx for that, yes, the zippers do seem to reference the frenzy of the 1920's in Germany and other places in Europe. Fascinating decade, could the 2020's repeat ?
Your momma never told you How you were 'sposed to treat a girl. Your poppa never told you and Now you're all alone out in the world. Sirens are streaming Inside the winding sheets are pale. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of the blue angel. Now I lay me down to sleep But troubled dreams are all I find. Pray the Lord my soul to keep Pray so I won't lose my mind. Streetlights come streaming On wings tonight, I'll soon set sail. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of a blue angel. Your momma's going to take it hard You always were your momma's boy. Your laying in the graveyard Now you're not your momma's joy. Silence is screaming I'll bat an eye and cast my spell. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of a blue angel.
This band has inspired me to start singing again. I love this music and my taste stands way out from all my musical friends who are all into much heavier sounds for the most part. Thanks so much for helping me to find my voice again.
Me and my 84-year-old dad used to blast this CD (and their other ones) really loud and scat along with them. They're brilliant.All these obscure scales and musical in-jokes.
I bought a bag of Squirrel Nut Zipper from the Mast General Store just because I Heard the name of this group. Candy and Music from the 20s and 30s...awesome!
Keighlyn Cady Good on ya kid for listening to , and enjoying ,different genres of music. I merely wanted to point out that swing and jazz are still very much relevant in this day and age. There are jazz festivals held all over the world every year, as well as new jazz releases every week from artists around the globe. Swing too has had a new lease of life in the form of electro swing, which combines old school styles with modern beats. We don't need to bring swing or jazz back , as, it effectively never went anywhere. Keep listening to good music. Peace.
It’s an outstanding pastiche. I remember reading about when she finished this take of the song, she said something along the lines of “I totally became the person who sings this song.” Pretty sure she meant Billie Holiday lol.
TheD West Aww is the baby crying because he had no friends growing up. And now he has to pick on people online to make himself feel no better about himself. Poor poor little crybaby D.

of course that's what I meant. I frist saw SNZ when they were playing local clubs in Chapel Hill. For that matter, I'm sure the candy I bought was not made 80 years ago...it would have gone bad by now!
Cat's Cradle was the venue I saw them at last. It was a Halloween show everyone had on costumes, they let me bring my dog into the show and I smoked out Jimbo in my car after the show.
Wild style of Voice ! Very different music compared to the Led Zeppelin distorted blues music I listen to. She sounds very close to dead Amy Winehouse in someways ! LIKE !!!
I love this song, but every time I’m done listening to it I’m reminded of that Star Trek meme. The one where the Romulan is holding a doctored recording and exclaims “IT’S A FAKE!”
A song that touched my heart in my darkness. And maybe lead me down deeper and maybe not want to care. This is my love. This is my pain. This is where I can go and never care to leave and damn myself if I try.
i heard this song on the manhole to, At first i thought it was a fat black woman singing this song but theres other songs ive heard on the manhole to theres a song that goes , "Hello Darlin theres so much more in you" or something like that, it sounds a lot like i forgot what his name but hes a fat black guy and he has a raspy type voice, and thers also another song i heard on the manhole to its some sorta retro 70s song it goes something like "we goin home at the wrong at the wrong one"
German/American actress Marlene Dietrich's first movie was called Blue Angel which is why her picture is paired with this song in this video.

@@A_Pa-Plainjane Let's hope we don't face a great depression :P
Amazing classic!
Falling in love again . . .
Do you feel bad for the professor in that film?
One of the greatest albums ever
Her particular voice is perfect for this song! 😃
JUst terrific. How I miss this band.

I am in the exact same position and your comment warmed my heart
So who is the one that origianally sang this song?
@@leslysavage7158 "Blue Angel" (Mathus, Mosher) Original.
Her voice is simply awesome
Makes me want to put it in an Amy Winehouse playlist
Has that 1920s gangster music vibe to it 🔥feel like I’m in Chicago having a drink 🥃 with Al Capone listening to this one
Check out Hollywood Nocturne by the briañ setzer orchesta
What a beautiful song...
Ah. Love that image. That's what great music is all about. Brings people together.
The beautiful Marlene Dietrich! 😍
What a great band ! Just saw them the other night . Great show ! Everyone got up and danced . Can't wait until they come back to town .
The shank hall show in Milwaukee?
Fun fact, my dad used to be super close with them. The main singer died years ago sadly
Me and my 84-year-old dad used to blast this CD (and their other ones) really loud and scat along with them. They're brilliant.All these obscure scales and musical in-jokes.
She has a beautiful voice....just beautiful....
ok but shes no alison krauss
Definitely not one of those revised swing bands from 90's. So much more to them they were great.
Scissor Sisters too
Still are great. Saw them in Eugene last fall. Must see concert if they come to your area.
@@bonniebickett4520 umm,
No.
@@nonewherelistens1906 they put on a great show, and have new material all the time, too. Any time I can go see them, I haul my ass out.
damn. why did this band disappear from delighting us with their wonderful music?
Nice, my father and I listened to Bix Bierdbek and call the instruments as they came in to play.
I love her voice..... LOVE...IT
Her voice does something to me. :-)
So is she redoing a voice from back in the 20's? And who is she then (back in the 1920's) ? Amd what is her name today ?

Long live music that doesn't suck 🔊😍👏🕪
I bought a bag of Squirrel Nut Zipper from the Mast General Store just because I Heard the name of this group. Candy and Music from the 20s and 30s...awesome!
Oh Marlena you ruled the world for me and this music just makes it!!!
So Awesome. SNZ was the best band ever.
"You're mama's gonna take it hard. You always were your mama's boy. You're lying in the graveyard. Now you're not your mama's joy."
Harsh, lol.
moondoogle by far my favorite part of this song. =)
Hide and seek in the dark in a cemetery.
Brings back memories. The last of the great acoustic instrument bands.
I crossed with this song and decided to listen simply for Miss Dietrich in the cover and I am not disappointed, wanna hear more of the band!
They are GOOD
love this band
my grandpa used to have records of this style of music. big band jazz swing music. he would have loved this.
I love it on the cd in between songs when Jimbo says "I broke the chandalier" and you hear it swaying and pinging, lol
I wish we could bring swing back, its so much better than most modern music. Even jazz is dying.
Keighlyn Cady says someone in the 21st century listening to contemporary swing!!
fridgemagnet Look I'm 12 and I really don't know much about swing but come on what I've heard i like.

+Keighlyn “TigerKei” Cady There's actually quite a bit if you count ElectroSwing, but maybe you don't.
you guys are quintesential and perrenial.... my favorite swing/genre bending swingsters ever!!
Love this track ❤️
i really miss those days
This is beautiful.
The devils are dreaming of a blue angel
love this song, squirrel nut zippers rock (in a swing way)
Weird and wild and wonderful.
what a fantastic song, what a marvelous vocal, what a way to do retro, and EASILY the best Christian song EVER.
Masterpiece
Bill Roubanis n
Oh, lovely number ! I really love SNZ !
While I know she isn't, but Katherine Whalen sounds like Billie Holiday
I practically just said that 😂❤️
It’s an outstanding pastiche. I remember reading about when she finished this take of the song, she said something along the lines of “I totally became the person who sings this song.” Pretty sure she meant Billie Holiday lol.
Yup she's my favorite modern female singer.
So many damn memories.
best vocalist of the centry

This is one hell of a band
Lyrics
Your momma never told you
How you were 'sposed to treat a girl.
Your poppa never told you and
Now you're all alone out in the world.
Sirens are streaming
Inside the winding sheets are pale.
Devils are dreaming
Dreaming of the blue angel.
Now I lay me down to sleep
But troubled dreams are all I find.
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Pray so I won't lose my mind.
Sirens are screaming
On wings tonight, I'll soon set sail.
Devils are dreaming
Dreaming of a blue angel.
Your momma's going to take it hard
You always were your momma's boy.
Your laying in the graveyard
Now you're not your momma's joy.

I'll bat an eye and cast my spell.

I miss your music
I *really* miss our gal. Zippers ain't the same now...
Katharine Whalen, that's her name.
This song is amazing. :D
The beautiful voice of Katharine. Great playing by Jimbo and band. Very similar in style to Amy W.
Thanks for the information. She has such an haunting style.
Amazing song!
Genial!!! Un dels meus grups favorits. Tant de bo els hagués descobert abans.
Love swing music
Now that's the sound.
Katharine can sound more like Billy Holiday than Billy Holiday herself.
of course that's what I meant. I frist saw SNZ when they were playing local clubs in Chapel Hill. For that matter, I'm sure the candy I bought was not made 80 years ago...it would have gone bad by now!
Cat's Cradle was the venue I saw them at last. It was a Halloween show everyone had on costumes, they let me bring my dog into the show and I smoked out Jimbo in my car after the show.
Pleeeeeeeeease come to New Zealand!!!!!
Very Billie Holiday/Tom Waits ❤️
hermoso tema
Wild style of Voice ! Very different music compared to the Led Zeppelin distorted blues music I listen to. She sounds very close to dead Amy Winehouse in someways ! LIKE !!!
Go girl!
Never stop dreaming
chas no . rest and dream of the blue angel,
just realized where Amy Winehouse got inspiration
I've always thought this song sounded like You KNow I'm No Good
You mean Billie Holiday?
Amy and Katherine were both inspired by Billy holiday, Dinah Washington et al
Amy was a child when this album came out.
Makes Feel like I’m a Gangster From the early 1900’s.
Yea but I miss my Angel Alot-Alot!
I like this song, it;s swankerrific!!
i enjoyed it

I love this song, but every time I’m done listening to it I’m reminded of that Star Trek meme. The one where the Romulan is holding a doctored recording and exclaims “IT’S A FAKE!”
