Now that's brains! You don't have any better music than this to lift you up, and send you, as they used to say! I found this when I was eight, in a movie... I think it was done in 1940, Buck Privates, with Abbott and Costello and the Andrews Sisters
Both of my parents were from the WWII generation. My father served in the US Navy during the war. I remember reading a article about The Andrews Sisters. They performed all over for our Troops, doing countless USO Tours. They were fixing to go on stage to perform for our troops that were fixing to be shipped to Japan, when it was announced that Japan had surrendered, unconditionally. Our troops were not yet aware of the Japanese surrender. It was decided that because of their unselfish service in entertaining our troops, that The Andrews Sisters would be given the honor of telling our men that the War was finally over. I think that they deserved this honor.
Music from the 20s and 40s are some of my favorites because it was made to cheer people up during (and after) a war which means it's made up of pretty happy and cheery songs
I'm a metalhead and I like stuff Black Sabbath, Slayer, Guns N Roses, Metallica, AC/DC and Mötley Crüe, but I like this. I appreciate all kinds of music no matter what generation.
I hate when people can't stand without saying that they love how people can't compliment one person's music without basing another's. And now seriously, this music is much better from 21st century trash music. Nowadays popular culture and music is hedonistic, full of butts, cussing, vulgar and degenerates etc. Just compare it to trash from Miley Cyrus. If you say that it's just a type of taste then you are retarted. It's not taste, it's a fucking fact. Most people are brainwashed idiots and live in matrix that everything is good, nothing is change.
I know it, because my Great Grandma had a little plastic dancing plant, you'd hit the button and it'd play this song. Can't believe 20 years later the plant still dancing and singing. Even if my great grandparents aren't.
grumpycat XD maybe.... I'm referring to the pop songs that only talk about sex and drugs and wreaking balls. NOT other good music that is being made today.
This song is WAY ahead of it's time. I don't know how or why they pulled this off. It's a stark turn in the evolution of music though. This isn't subtle. This is greatness that only happens every couple of decades.
Heard a rendition of this song at a blues and jazz festival. I knocked myself out I loved it so much. Can't get it out of my head. The ladies that sang it were too adorable for words. Made me very happy! Very catchy!! Very nostalgic!!
Inadvertently started a tour of twentieth century American/British music. Remembering that one of God's greatest common graces is wonderful music! I'm only 50 but this song is powerfully nostalgic for me. My mom was in a ladies group called The Honey Bees and they were GREAT at this song! One of the time pieces of the last hundred years!
My Mom taught me to Jitterbug to this song. She passed away 26yrs. ago today - Thanks Mom for my love of the Andrew Sisters and teaching me to do the Big Apple too!!
This song popped into my head. Don't know why, I remember around 15ish years ago when I was in like the first grade, my choir sang to this song. Of course as a kid I hated the song, but as an adult I can definitely see the difference in styles between our generation and this one. It's not my Cup of tea, but I respect it.
ive always listened to this type of music and we always sang this style in school choir, my daughter who is 1 loves the andrew sisters there music is always playing at home
Hi I'm 55 yrs old I like all genres this song was sampled by the art of noise song was called 'the army now. Plus this song is sampled used in the movie: land of the lost released 2009 , just saw this movie its great , this movie is based on the kid show from the 70s the family goes down a water streem then end up in another world from the stone ages and dinosaurs
He was in the army the Marines stormed Iwo Jima and also a bugle boy would be in reserve probably at a basic training camp blowing the bugle every morning and in the band when called for and not sent out to combat. Try again
Same! I think it was because it was such a patriotic time period, when people sang about America, not sex and depression. If you've had a hard life and you want to sing about it to make yourself less traumatized, okay. But not if you just want to follow all these sex symbol girls. Don't do that.
@@upthedownescalator630 Patriotism will make a resurgence among tough times - I think that's why there's been a recent increase in 2020 - and then music/culture will adjust accordingly; we've been far too hedonistic the past few decades, people have forgotten the importance of America. If you have to take your clothes off to have someone listen to what you're saying, that's not being free - that means you're enslaved. I think we have a long way to go for people to start respecting themselves again and hopefully it will become reflective. [Right now it seems like it's become the counter-culture]
I remember I helped my dance teacher show the kids of Apprentice Group the movea to this song and then they performed it at a nursing home I heard it went well and was really good at times.
@@pluto1093 Music is still good if you dont believe me than you arent digging deep enough I suggest Bo Burnham, Des Rocs, Cage The Elephant and MGMT has been pretty good recently
@@misterbiscuit3706 did I say what time period? But ofc since it's a song from the 40s I commented on, its automatically assumed I must mean then right. Definitely...

When I was in second grade my teacher made the class learn songs and we’d perform for the school and I was the lead for this song. I still remember every word and I’m in 10th grade now.
No but people my age can enjoy and appreciate this kind of music and prefer it, that doesn't make you a hipster if you like the music for the music and not to be a hipster.

The first rock and roll song. Chuck Berry was a jazz cat. The chord progression in this is every Chuck Berry song. I think this might be the first real synthesis of a rock and roll song. :)
Anyone who's listened to this and sang it you should feel proud. I had to memorize the lyrics and a dance to this song. Then I had to sing and dance in a dress and small heels for the IGSMA Contest.

My husband was in the army he went to Vietnam he said they always played music like this to keep their spirits up.
Great music

Cool😀
my grandmother used to say
Every woman loves a man in uniform
Now i know why
My great uncle told me that he brought his little stereo radio and a mix tape he made
One of the most timeless pieces of Genius from the 40's, dark, happy, entertaining, the vocal virtuosity is superb and it tells a beautiful story.
Yes indeed! Well put!

That is a beautiful anecdote. I am sure The Andrews Sisters felt it an enormous honour.
Anyone else just here because this is a nice song..?
***** I heard about this song from my teacher, years ago. It's still a good song though.
I'm here because I just googled "40s music" xdd
im here bc of pitch perfect 2
music from this time era, and the next two decades are great.
...cause they were all good singers, and they were amazing together. Plus, Raye and Prince wrote a great song.
I always thought this song was saying "He's the boogie woogie bugle boy accompanying me."
Nicholas Fruin me to!
damn bro, that would’ve made sense
Nicholas Fruin me too😂
This is my grandmothers favorite song. So even though im only 17 I feel like I grew up with alot of older songs.
My father used to listen to this when. I showed it to him the other day and he teared up.
americans are so moved by their music and movies aint it ?
@@ayushvasurudragour427 What's wrong with that? We younger ones are trying to connect to a time when there was PATRIOTISM in our movies and music

Everyone from WW2: 💃🏼🕺🏼👯♀️👯♂️🕺🏼🕺🏼
Unironically, It is such a banger.
My grandma loved this song. It randomly got stuck in my head today.

Michael J music from the 30s and 40s is so simple yet so magical
Me to you cool
I adore any music from the 40s and 50s I wish I could go back then!! :D

No, I am not triggered. I am fucking angry. Term "triggered" is reserved to fucking leftist and libtards subhumans.
Finally, someone with logic.. Agree 100%
Krawczyk Norek true 😬
One of the greatest songs ever and I am so happy no one has been able to cover this successfully . Andrews sisters do it best
50s and 40s my type of music, dean Martin, Andrew sisters,etc
The Chordettes...
Elvis

Anyone ever wish music like this was still around today?!
One of the happiest songs I've ever heard. Thanks SketchSHE!
I get a sense of nostalgia listening to music like this; I find it very comforting. :)
Mafia 2 really got me listening to music from the 40s & 50s.
When nobody’s around, I dance like a mad man. 😭
I know it, because my Great Grandma had a little plastic dancing plant, you'd hit the button and it'd play this song. Can't believe 20 years later the plant still dancing and singing. Even if my great grandparents aren't.
I wasn't thought of when this song came out, but I have an undying debt of gratitude to the greatest generation; may they never be forgotten.
That brass part that starts at 1:45 is so cool... it makes me happy just as it is:):)
My grandparents loved this song. Never read the lyrics before.
Any youngsters that love these songs?

The 1940's have some great music, I wish they had songs like these nowadays.
I wish that too!
Well strap in and prepare for a treat Shelly McShit Post, because they do!
Try electro-swing
yes!
They had style to 👌👌👌👌👌😘
Omg I watched Pitch Perfect 2 the other day and this song has been in my head ever since! So catchy!
This kind of music beats a ton of modern day pop songs by a lot. THIS PEOPLE... is music :D
lionfury12 ikr !! i just wish that i was born in the 1900s :8
No modern music can beat this kind of music and by the way I'm 14

okay guys , time to stop augmenting and enjoy the music :) :D
This reminds me of my father Airforce /Thank you Dad for serving! 2/22.31-3/20/18

Love this song and now my jazz band is playing it and I’m so happy
I had to sing this song for my year six leaving play and I'm still dancing and singing to this day (I'm close to the end of year 8)
We are playing this for our marching band show this year!:))
Anyone else come from Outlander? I adore this song. And the show
+Morgan Legate I come from Outlander.
SAME!! XD
+Morgan Legate Buck Privates
Yup

I'm 14 and this is on the list of my favorite songs, so no society, teens aren't all the same.
I'm learning this song in my school I just can't stop listening to it
Same!! Jazz for kids sheet
This song is WAY ahead of it's time. I don't know how or why they pulled this off. It's a stark turn in the evolution of music though. This isn't subtle. This is greatness that only happens every couple of decades.
This is one of my granddads favourite songs
i sang this in 3rd grade for a concert i loved it i sang it all over the place same with Footloose :D
My high school's jazz band played this and it was amazing.
Heard a rendition of this song at a blues and jazz festival. I knocked myself out I loved it so much. Can't get it out of my head. The ladies that sang it were too adorable for words. Made me very happy! Very catchy!! Very nostalgic!!
Thumbs up if you would rather listen to THIS song than "Candyman" by Christina Aguilera! And worse, Glee's "Candyman"!
My marching band had this song in our repertoire for our 2015 show "Letters Home"! It was great fun to play!
What I'd give to go to a party where they'd play this and other stuff from the forties. Maybe then I'd actually dance. You cats keep on swinging.
Yeah man! Swing out!
Christopher Scoggins you bet your sorry ass I will semper Fidelis my friend
Isn't it the truth though! I wish I could find a bunch of people who liked THIS and not the other stuff they put on at parties!
I've only heard Miss Midler's version of this fantastic tune : this is wonderful !!!
I love singing this in my choir a few years back. This song makes you feel it to sing it good.
Just fantastic x
We had to learn this for choir. It's still ingrained into my brain
Inadvertently started a tour of twentieth century American/British music. Remembering that one of God's greatest common graces is wonderful music!
