WHAT'S IN A
NAME

AYEXT to the naming Of
IN breakfast foods, the NAM
- ing of popular songs ID
perhaps the most complicated job
in the word. The average song
writer brings the blush OF shame
to the dictionary. He can think
up more new words in five min.
Gtes than Noah Webster could
think Of in ten pages.
Sometimes we wonder whether
song writer's realize how much
they are contributing to our cur
rent speech. Give them anything
in the shape Of language, even IL
it's nothing more than q couple
of grunts, and they can write a
song around it and call 1t "Bo.La-
b." or my Oriental Umpah," or
''You're My Wah-Wah."
When it comes to sentimental
ballads the sky is their limit.
We haven't seen any OF the FOL
lowing, but the chances are that
they will make their appearance
before the end Of the month:
I'm Sorry / Cut That Onion,
Because 1t Made Me Cry. -
Classy sentimental ballad with
vegetable refrain.
"How Miss the Bottle in the
Cellar Of My Heart. Exclusive
number, with a corkscrew twist.
1.-THE Woodshed Black and
Blues. Lively dance number,
switching into a minor key.
"You Made MY Bankroll What
It Is Today; Hope You're Sat
isfied. "A financial fox-trot in
three flats.
Don't Send Your Love by
Parcel Post; / Cannot Wait That
Long."-A sentimental ballad for
mail voices, with orchestration.
kiss Me While I'm Conven-
lent."--An invitation affair.
IF He Likes Me Under the
Lnacs, Will He Love Me Under
the League?"-An international
fox-trot.
Teach Me How to Love on
Venus, and Wen Have a Honey
moon on Mars. This ballad
should be a favorite, even II It
does take in too much territory.
