1940 version: Johnny Long - In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- This is Long’s earlier and less frequently reissued version of “Shanty Town,” which he would record twice for the Decca label during the 1940s. It became his signature tune and reappeared in a new and somewhat brighter-sounding remake six years later (listen here: • 1946 HITS ARCHIVE: In ... ).
Transferred from the original 78rpm: Decca 3409 - In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town (Little-Siras-Young) by Johnny Long & his Orchestra, with vocal ensemble, recorded September 12, 1940

Definitely the best song on Appalachia radio because unlike how they play the other songs 18 freaking times this song hardly ever comes on so its always nice to hear it
Yeah I really wish they looked after the music playlist. If the game is supposed to be supported for years forward, then they should at least shake up the radio soundtrack a bit each year.
wish they would've chosen the Ink Spots version instead, but this one really swings though!
The Beach Boys were a mistake though
I like The Beach Boys but they do not fit in the Fallout
The only one the annoying ass lady doesn't have a whole speech about before and after aswell
this, ernie ford and fats waller are the only reasons I listen to appalachia radio
Best song on the Appalachia radio by far
Butcher Pete would like a word
kps2420 😂😂
OpenThisSideUp yeah same
Take me home?
County Roads?
@@maxtheleopard wow small world I see you everywhere.
Imagine going back in time to tell them their song would be a banger 100 years in the future but not for what they thought it would be for.
I know every note and word because I was brought up and learned piano on a player and had so many wonderful old rolls ! Man was I ever blessed !!!
My dad and his brother used to sit down at the piano and sing this song together. It was a hit at all the family gatherings!! They added their own little last line...."without a shirt"....not sure where that came from. Dad lived to 100. Love him and miss him every single day. Thanks so much for posting!!!
There's a shanty in the town on a little plot of ground
With the green grass growing all around, all around
The roof's so worn, so badly torn
Til it tumbles to the ground
Just a tumbledown shack and it's built way back
About twenty-five feet from the railroad track
Lingers on my mind most all the time
Keeps calling me back to my little old shack
I'd be just as sassy as Haile Selassie
If I were a king it wouldn't mean a thing
Put my boots on tall, read the writing on the wall
And it wouldn't mean a thing, not a doggone thing
There's a queen waiting there in a rocking chair
Just blowing her top on (Gaither's?) beer
Looking all around and I'm trucking on down
'cause I'm glad to get back to my shanty town
Sounds possibly like Guinness ( don't know if it was about back then )
Gainers is what they say
Gainer's. It must be some really old brand of beer.
This song best kicks in when your being chased by a mythical creature and scorched while shooting them with a civl war era flint lock pistol
This song fits so good to my home town, I got my old run down cottage 25 feet from the railroad track where I down beer with my cat when Im not working. Just need to find my queen lol
My mum used to sing this to me, when I was a wee lad.
Here’s to the original prof78! Thanks for re uploading
Me and the guy I found off of a group post chillin to this while grinding daily ops for 5 hours:
Cleanest rap ever
0:50 that lyrics 🔥🔥🔥
Makes me feel at home 🔥🔥🔥

Just blowin' her top on Gator's Beer
Lookin' all around and truckin' on down
'Cause I'm dyin' to get back to my shanty town
Such a tiny detail but that piano at the beginning just makes this better than all of the other versions 😍 0:45 🎵
The piano alerts you when it's time to start belting out the lyrics.
There's actually a shed in my neighborhood that collapsed halfway and is next to railway tracks
Just cool.
This song is 😎 !
This is way better than the 1946 edition, also because it’s in fallout 76 I’m not sure if this is the less heard version lol
Easily the best version. It sounds so GOOD! Like... add some bar/restaurant ambiance, maybe some reverb, and boom! Movie scene from 1942
„Rapping started in the 90‘s“
Jonny long:
This isn’t rapping, all songs rhymed in old songs like this.
@@croonyerzoonyer it could be considered an early form of rap with the rapid succession of rhymes
Rapping started in the 80s.
@@OathofthePeachGarden this song could be considered a rap song

Classic
Great record .
That feeling when you and the boys fight a scortchbeast queen in cranberry bog.
Johnny Long - Daddy . PLEASE - 1957 .
This version and the original 1932 version are the best
I’m watching a movie and the guy in the movie is playing this record 😂😂👍
@The78Prof Is this the same version that's on the 45s that were made in 1950?
I don't have the 45, but if it's on Decca with matrix 73341 it's Long's 1946 remake, which has been the commonly reissued version: ua-cam.com/video/-Nm6BbEFgkg/v-deo.html
Secondhand Songs says this version is 1946.
Actually they don't. Please read the written description of this post, which is Long's first recording of the song. Secondhand Songs lists only his commonly-reissued and better-known 1946 remake (which is also posted here on the channel: ua-cam.com/video/-Nm6BbEFgkg/v-deo.html ).
Ah! Thanks for the explanation.
@@NemoNepersonne You are most welcome! 🎵
Anyone else come here thinking this was related to Desmond Dekker's "Shanty Town?"
The 1946 version is definitely better. The vocals aren't as clear in this version. The 1946 version is the one I grew up with. I was born in 1995. If you're wondering how I was introduced to this song, it was on a cassette tape that my grandparents had that was subsequently given to me. I think it was the same tape. Or it was a new tape of the same compilation.
Wrong. Cope.
@@SuicideSlade Right. Cope.
I disagree
the arrangement swings and the overall mood is much brighter in the 1940 original, not to mention doesn't take it's sweet time unlike the 1946 revisiting does.
This version sucks. The ink spots did it better
@Aidan Callaghan whatever dude
yes, I think the Ink Spots version is the superior version, but I don't dislike this version though.
@@alternateunreleasedshellac505 thank you. I'm glad someone civil that being said I only heard this version recently and I've ONLY heard the ink spots version so maybe I'm biased
@@ninja1man4u it's based to be biased.
The Ink Spots had broken up by the time they did it. A group by Charlie Fuque one of the OG members redid it for TV, which is what you hear. But I guess you're too far isolated to appreciate swing or orchestras, or anything apart from the original version you hear.
I get solace from knowing Fallouter's musical biases like the back of my hand, and knowing that eventually in a few years time you'll come around and realize that a vocal quartet accompanied by guitar & piano using the exact same formula for most songs until it becomes tired and directly leads to their collapse isn't God Tier by default.
