For the  Depression, I think kids would respond to "Single Girl, Married
Girl" by  the Carter Family. I know I do! 1927, but the Depression came 
early
to  Appalachia. Also, any number of Jimmie Rodgers numbers -- "In the
Jailhouse  Now".

I'm sure the others will have much better selections than  mine.



A period piece is "Any Ice Today, Lady?" with Billy Murray and Aileen  
Stanley.  It has a number of slang expressions of the day.
