[78-L] BEER DRINKING MUSIC

>Was this censorship also not the norm in the USA at the same time? Definitely in the 1930's. NBC wouldn't even allow instrumentals with titles like "Shoot the Likker to me John Boy." Things began to ease during WWII and "Run & Coca Cola" got plenty of airplay.

Was this censorship also not the norm in the USA at the same time?I know I have heard tales of such, but not sure if this was local station dictum or network policy. Anybody know fershure?Sent from my iPodOn Jan 20, 2013, at 6:08 PM, David Lennick  wrote:Beer Barrel Polka is on Lennick's Long Lager List (not too far down) but I'm surprised at the Student Blintz omission as well. Maybe it's the Lanza revulsion factor. By the way, the Miss Grundys running the CBC in the 30s and 40s made sure that if you did perform the polka or play a recording of it, you didn't make reference to the devil's brew. I have an aircheck of The Happy Gang where they call it "The Barrel Polka".dlOn 1/20/2013 6:50 PM, Michael Biel wrote:I'm surprised that nobody has brought up these two, not even in"Lennick's Long Larger List":Drink!

But I'd betthat if you look for "Bier" rather than "Beer"you'll find a lot of examples in Germanic northcentral Europe, where gramophones frequently providedmusic in Gasthofen (pubs). Not to forget about drinking songs in opera, including "Vin ou Biere"from Gounod's Faust.
