Movie Song of the Week: “Check Your Husbands”

I have no idea why this never caught on. From the 1932 short Over the Counter, it's yet another pre-Code musical number.

I hope you all enjoy it.

Movie Song of the Week: “Voices of Spring”

It took me a while but I finally found the ideal movie song for the first full week of spring -- and it's by Johann Strauss II. From 1941's Never Give a Sucker an Even Break, it is the oddest variation on this song that you are likely to find outside of the work of a certain comic trio. A more serious version can be found here.

Sing it again, Gloria Jean.
