Many thanks, domila. 'Messing Around', played here in the key of C, was composed in 1926 by Charles L. 'Doc' Cooke, with words by Johnny St. Cyr. It has a 16-bar Verse, which Tuba Skinny play only once, at 00:52. Words of the Verse: 'What is all this noise I hear around here? Please don't keep me in doubt. What is it all about? Now honey calm yourself and don't be angry with me. And right here, on this spot, something hot you'll see.' Words of the Chorus (32 bars): 'That dance called 'Messin' Around' - that dance that's new in the town - It runs the Charleston way out of gas. Don't even have to step; and still it's full of pep. Keep your doggies still, mess around until morning. My grandma thinks it is nice; and grandpa he's done it twice. It is the easiest dance I've found. Let's go right now. Sure is a wow! Messin' around, messin' around; dance they call 'Messin' Around'.' 00:06 : Introduction, eight bars. 00:15 : Chorus, 32 bars, ensemble. 00:52 : *Verse, 16 bars.* 01:10 : Chorus, played by Craig, with Shaye and Barnabus providing harmonic support in some bars. 01:47 : Chorus, played by Barnabus, with quiet harmonising support from Shaye and Craig in the final 16 bars. 02:23 : Chorus, first half played ensemble; second half (on foot signal from Shaye) led by Max, over a carpet of harmonies during bars 17 - 24 from Shaye, Barnabus and Craig. 02:59 : Chorus, all 32 bars played by Robin, backed by stop chords. 03:34 : Chorus, ensemble (with Shaye taking breaks against stop chords in bars 25 to 28). No Coda.
