singing that amusing little ditty,
THE Music Goes Round and
Round" one Of the new songs the
radio has put over the top in the
grand manner.
What it means nobody seems to
know-or if they do know, they
probably don't care. It's a catchy
tune and the words take" in
quick order The way the tune has
catapulted to popularity is remi-
niscent Gin a minor sort Of way) Of
"Yes, We Have No Bananas"
One story about THE Music
Goes Round" is that it was writ
ten about four years ago and
stranded on a publishers shelf,
only to be produced the other
week when the music emergency"
came up. The song became the
theme for the country's New
Years celebration and now every
body's doing it.
Add this to the bizarre rise of
radios latest piece of musical
insanity-the publishers pleaded
for a change in words who in
Heaven is going to sing Whoa, no,
no, no, no, hop they argued. But
all the world is running around
singing Whoa, no, no, no, no, no.
and feeling pretty silly about it.
Still, all this dizziness does not
mean a dime in radio royalties to
the two authors, Eddie Farley and
Mike Riley. They are not men,
bers Of the American Society of
Composers and Authors and Pub
fishers which collects the radio
royalties. But the song now rivals
Sonny Boy in sheet music and
record sales and has set up the
authors for many future engage
nents.
