Popular Songs
By GEORGE FITCH
Author of AT Good Old SiWash.7

A POPULAR song is a mess of
~ words and music which has pc
Z come epidemic and cannOt be
stamped out.
A song becomes popular jcst as meas
les does. People come down with It.
They do not know where they caught
it or that they are going to have 1t
until they find themselves whistlIng 1t
for the 9Sth time. After that they
spend weeks trying to get rid OF it and
curse softly whenever they find them
selves humming it at church services
or funerals.
Popular songs are not necessarily beau
tiful any more than measles IS When
we hear a song which millions were
singing five years ago we wonder what
was the trouble with the people at that
time. But the music of popular songs Is
generally much better than the words
The latter are usually written by a man
with a profound contempt for grammar,
and IN his songs he tried to conflict
mortal injury upon said grammar BY
ignoring it altogether. Americans are
