Judy Garland - The Balboa - Alternate Take
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2017
- Here’s another treasure from the collection of John Newton: A demonstration record that features a partial alternate take of 14-year-old Judy Garland’s first song in a feature film, “The Balboa” from 20th Century Fox’s 1936 musical Pigskin Parade.
Garland fans might have noticed that a few of the lyrics Judy sings don’t match her lip-synching. This is because after the number was filmed the studio (probably the producer or director) decided to change a few of those lyrics. They called Judy back to re-record part of the song.
In the film, Judy sings: “Shake a little bit, Swing a little bit, Break a little bit, Wing a little bit.”
In the original recording, Judy sings: “TRUCK a little bit, Swing a little bit, BUCK a little bit, Wing a little bit.” The lyrics noted in caps match her lip-synching.
“Buck” makes more sense with “Wing” being an obvious reference to “buck and wing” style of dancing.
The change is probably due to the fact that the lyrics are sung so fast that “”buck” sounds like a four-letter-word. Perhaps the Production Code caught it and made them change it or they changed it on their own. We’ll never know.
Also included in the number are the film’s stars: Jack Haley, Patsy Kelly, Betty Grable, Dixie Dunbar, Stuart Erwin, Johnny Downs and The Yacht Club Boys.

Thank you Robert! You're very welcome. I'm thrilled and honored to be able to present some of the gems of John Newton's collections in a fun and informative manner. Thank God for collectors like him who have collected and preserved these discs that might never have survived otherwise - and aren't we lucky to have the technology to be able to share with fans around the world. 'S Wonderful!
That’s my father over her right shoulder! Miss you pop!
Wow really??
@@babyj.7793 where? Pls, minute…
wow this is on my playlist daily...but first time seeing the video now ! I want to do the Balboa !
I had this on as background noise without reading the context, I thought this was the song by itself at first and actually spit out my drink when I heard what I thought I heard. What would we do without 1930's recording limitations
In the context of the song, it should be clear to anyone she's saying "...buck a little bit..." not the other word. The full phrase is "...buck a little bit, wing a little bit." I suppose audiences in the 30s may have been more familiar with the term buck-and-wing which is a type of tap dance. In the context of this scene where the floor is full of people dancing I'm sure everyone who saw the movie knew what Judy was saying and what the lyric means.
Seconded.
Buck dancing is still done in Appalachia.
The Truck was also a dance craze at the time--featured in tunes such as "Everybody's Truckin'" by the Modern Mountaineers (1937).
Very cool Judy 🌹
I first heard this song on "Refreshment Club" radio from 1937. Sung by Helen Jane Belke.
Nobody mentioned that the cute blonde is Betty Grable!
I also have a copy of this demonstration record, and 19 year-old Betty is on the other side singing, "It's Love I'm After."
Betty Grable is such a fox in this movie. A half dozen years later, she'd be the biggest thing in Tinsel Town. Great video!
Why can't I find the Texas Tornado song anymore?

Isn't this the same take as the first track on JUDY GARLAND ON RADIO, 1936 - 1944 VOLUME ONE, "ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE"? - thejudyroom.com/misc/allthethingsyouare.html
