For sure it is the song kown as La Maxixe, La Mattchiche, La Sorella March and My Mom Gave Me A Nickel, etc. It was written by Charles Borel-Clerc, a French composer who based the tune on the Maxixe. which was a popular style of Brazilian dance music. Maxixe is also a vegetable in the cucumber family, so the mid-century American lyric about the pickle is not far off.
the song is called La Mattchiche and Edith mentioned that in her 1957 interview. What happened the Mattchiche sounds a lot like the pronunciation of the dance step maxixe pronounced mashishe which gave the indication she was referring to the dance step. which by the way La Mattchiche is a maxixe dance.
All you have to do to find out if the source is factual, is look up the song title that they gave you and listen to the tune to see if it matches. It’s not that hard 🙄
Its original name is the Maxixe. The maxixe (Portuguese pronunciation: [maˈʃiʃi]), occasionally known as the Brazilian tango, is a dance, with its accompanying music (often played as a subgenre of choro), that originated in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro in 1868, at about the same time as the tango was developing in neighbouring Argentina and Uruguay. It is a dance developed from Afro-Brazilian dances (mainly the lundu) and from European dances (mainly the polka). Like the tango, the maxixe travelled to Europe and the United States in the early years of the 20th century.
This song was played by a toy pig music box belonging to fashion designer Edith Rosenbaum, aka Edith Russell, her professional name she used due to anti-German sentiment in Paris post-WWI, and she did business there. She also bred Pekingese toy dogs there and in America. Back to the pig. The song would play when its tail was twisted. It was given to Rosenbaum in 1911 by her mother as a good luck charm (which pigs were considered to be in France) after mum had survived an auto accident. Rosenbaum also survived an accident, the Titanic, carrying the lucky pig onboard her lifeboat and played it to help calm frightened children in the lifeboat. At first, she did not want to leave her jewelry and 19 cases of luggage and was hesitant to board the lifeboat, probably thinking it really wouldn't sink. A Titanic steward grabbed the pig, thinking it was a pet, and threw it into the lifeboat to encourage her to board. It worked, and Rosenbaum went in after it. The cases and jewelry went down on the ship and she later sued White Star Line in one of their most expensive lawsuits. Later in her life, she gave the pig to Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, a book about the sinking and later a movie. He donated it to the Royal Maritime Museum in Greenwich, where it remains until this day. I don't think that Rosenbaum was portrayed in any Titanic films, even A Night to Remember, but she is mentioned in the book. In TITANIC, I would have preferred more vignettes about the actual passengers and crew and less about Jack and Rose, but James Cameron had to bring in females and teen girls to ensure maximum box office receipts.
Even in the 70’s little musical boxes were popular. Mainly jewelry boxes for young girls that had a little ballerina dancing in front of the mirror when you opened it. I still have mine from about 1975. And it still makes music!
Such a adorable but quaint little thing I want to know what the link is though between pig and the song because the song as I understand it is a early form of samba it seems the most unusual juxtaposition of things together still i love the stories behind it

The tune this music box is playing is a mixture of The Opening Movement in The Third Act of Martha, and The Lullaby of The Bells, from The Phantom of The Opera, 1943, made and distributed by Universal Studios!
No. The Lullaby of The Bells was written by a Man named Edward Ward, or something like that. It could be The Lullaby of The Bells played backwards. Or, it might even be Indian Love Call from 1936’s Rose Marie, played backwards.
Here's the source: "maxixe", Afro-Brazilian in origin, introduced to Paris in 1905 and again in 1912 (sic). Gershwin quotes the theme in "An American in Paris" (1928).
I don't know where the song originated: sounds "French", but in the 1950's it became very popular as the "Choo'n Gum" song. Part of the lyrics go:"My Mom gave me a nickel to buy a pickle, I did not buy a pickle, I bought some gum"
I think it sounds like "Daisy Bell" the bicycle made for two song which was written and released in 1892, but I'm not sure how that would be thematically connected to the pig
It's eerie knowing Edith Russel played this song on her musical pig to kids who just watched their parents drown.... like she had enough time to care about others during all that wtf...
it's the voice of Edith Russell, she visits anyone who watches this video - in fact if you watch it now, her ghost will be sitting right behind you, watching over you!
@@BD12 I heard her faintly behind me just now! In fact she whispered softly in my ear that the song being played is indeed a French tune. I don't know what the Title of the song translates to. If anyone knows, please let me know! Thank you!
I do too and my daughter saw the blind lift up and go down before we came home outside in the car. She turned to me and said who is inside? I said no one!
Maxixe is a Brazilian rythm precursor to samba. It was very popular worldwide at the beginning of the 20th century. This sounds like it, syncopated rythmically as it is. Seems like some Chiquinha Gonzaga
It sounds less like a parlor song and more like an English waltz Percy grainier referenced a number of them in his composition English waltz. If it was a parlor song I don't think it would open with repeating figure like this one.
It's called Maxixe, it's pronounced mashish and in Brazil people don't use "La" because we don't speak Spanish. The correct term is "O Maxixe". Yeah, maxixe is a masculine word. However, maxixe is not a song. It's a musical style. So people still don't know which song is this.
P Ariza well that may be the case in Brazil, but I don’t believe the pig’s music box was inspired by that. At least not directly. Listen to “La Sorella,” aka “La Mattchiche,” (both proper names in this instance) by Charles Borel Clerc, and you will hear where the tune came from
@@davidpar2 Cool. I thought you were trying to spel maxixe (the Brazilian tango), since everyone says this is one. But I thought no one knew where this came from exactly because it's missimg some notes. Maybe it sounds a bit like this one you're talking about (weird that it has 2 names, ome being the sister in italian and the other being a person trying to spell maxixe kinda like it sounds to them) but they can't say ot really is that song because of the missing notes. Go figure
P Ariza I think there are plenty of notes left in the music box to make the connection, if you listen to the Borel Clerc piece that is uploaded here on youtube. It’s quite obvious
@@davidpar2 I got what you meant. But it's hard to think people didn't want to make if "official" even after the old owner saying it was this song. It's been a long time between they listening to it and now and many have heard it. Is it really possible that you are the one that is positive about it, but people that actually studied it are too dumb to be sure? Maybe there are song similar enough so that these experts who listened to it say we can't be really sure. This is what I mean
Here is Edith's survival story about the pig and in it she says the song was called "The Maxixe". Fast forward to about the 40 minute mark to hear her story: ruclips.net/video/Zfn1ZQFJcHw/видео.html
Στο Ζάππειο μια μέρα περιπατούσα!!! Early 20th c. Greek song, based as I read on a French instrumental tune, based as I read on a piece from a Brazilian opera...
this sound wanders the hallways at night, and the ghost of Edith Russell comes to collect you for your final voyage ... to the afterlife. In fact, she might be right over your shoulder while you're reading this.
I don't think it's a classical piece at all. Its a version of La Bamba. NOT the bouncy one we know. MUCH MUCH OLDER. Some say to the 17th Century, perhaps even from African slaves in Veracruz I heard is as very young kid in Colombia. listen to this version on classical guitar, and slow it down.look up La Bamba for Classical Guitar on youtube Richie Valens DID NOT write la Bamba, he adapted it.
@@fasthracing Oh, yes. Like the tango or the waltz. But just like these two there are many maxixes and not just one. So this is a maxixe. Not the maxixe. 🙂 By the way, maxixe is also a plant with edible fruits and leaves. I think the name comes from this plant. Don't ask me why... 😅
There are also liberal people from Jewish descent who don't care about kosher rules and religion. Her mother learned that pigs are considered lucky animals in France (where Edith survived a car accident) so she gave it to her. The pig literally saved her life bc she only got in the lifeboat when a sailor threw the pig in the boat she refused to get in. Then she entertained with the pig the frightened children in the boat before they were rescued

A Smithsonian article says the song is “La Sorella”-a song composed in 1905 by Charles Borel-Clerq.
Now I feel like there is a ghost in my house now I have to call ghost busters
I don't know the title of the music, but Victor Young 'borrowed' it to use in his Oscar winning score for "Around the World in 80 Days" in 1956.
I heard strains of "It's a Wonderful World" in the middle of it.
I knew it was my mother calling me
That hit me so hard learning that. 😭

the french singer felix mayol had a huge hit with the song when he recorded it for the pathe company in 1905
its at this time many paris souvenirs where fitted with a music box playing this tune
edith russell was a regular visitor to the city of paris as she was a fashion consultant at the time 1910-1914 she must have picked the pig up at this time it was the mascotte of the group she was working with in paris
on the titanic edith din't want to go into a lifeboat she was persuaded when a crew member threw the pig into the boat saying ''you don't want to go but your baby sertainly does!'' afterwards she went into the lifeboat without problems
she found the pig on the bottom of the boat with its front legs broken
she used it to entertain the kids onboard of the boat untill they where all saved
she treasured it her wholle life and it was present on every survivors meeting, tv and radio interview she ever did
