Yes! Now They Are Clarifying Animal
Crackers in the Land of Modern Song
By Walter D. Hickman


oh, these song writer's. Don't
know what they do next.
Can you guess now what they are
putting to the tune of melody?
Animal crackers. Yes and can you
beat that? There is a brand new
tune out. called I'm Just Wild
About Animal Crackers"
Anyone Of these fine days, wouldn't
be a bit surprised that some song
writer would turn out a pathetic
little ballad called, THAT Dear Old
Dog Biscuit Of That Dog Gone Dog
of Mine
There should be a great deal of
sentiment in such a theme. It
would give the song writer a chance
to inject the growl of a dog in the
song. That would be new because
everything else this season has been
tossed into the musical factory.
Must tell you about this animal
crackers number. Have been asked
to hunt this photograph number and
the other day I received it from
Okeh as one of their new hot
weather releases.
1t seems that I'm Just Wild
About Animal Crackers is about a
guy who is so goofy that he even
intends to eat animal crackers in
bed and that he will force his wife
TO be as wild over animal crackers
as he.
Rather have the bunch that this
number as a song was created for
burlesque use but the Okeh version
is Just a nifty little thing of the mo.
ment, done in that wild spirit of fox
trotting jazz.
Al Turks orchestra Of Chicago
with Earl Hayden has recorded the
animal cracker number for Okeh.
The orchestration is rather clever
and ii does have a sort of a whis-
ting tune and when they whistle a
tune, well. it is a sure success.
On the other side of this Okeh,
you will find Lloyd Turner and his
Villa Venice orchestra playing Blue
Bonnet, You Make Me Feel BlIe."
In speaking of popular numbers,
Okeh has a sure winner in Baby
Face" as recorded by the Melody
Sheiks with Sam Lamin directing.
Here is a nifty little. tune which
has more melody food in it than
most of the songs of the hour. The
lyrics have that quick stepping
thought which gives speed to
pleasing melody. Rather think you
will like Baby Face" It is a cork
ing good little fox trot.
On the other side you will hear
the Goofus Five playing "where'd
You Get Those Eyes?" Here Is
number that has been popular for
weeks.
