[78-L] Longest title

[Bud Black]

I wonder if it's an aberration of Irving's tune "Tuck Me To Sleep With An
Old Fashioned Melody (And Wake Me Up With A Rag)."

And they got it all on the label. Ozzie Nelson, 1940. I've recently won two
contenders in the "longest title" stakes..Bing Crosby's "Cranky Old Yank" on
V-Disc and one I hadn't heard of before, "You'll Have To Put Him To Sleep
With
the Marseillaise and Wake Him With An Oo-La-La" as rendered by Irving
Kaufman
on a Columbia record.
