[78-L] You'll Get Used To It

[DAVID BURNHAM]

Talking about humour on RCA Victor records, I just tried to Google "You'll Get Used To It" by a singer whose name, (I thought), was Platt.  He subsequently became an MP in Parliament, (Conservative), a Mayor in Quebec and died about 10 years ago in his 90s.  Perhaps I have the wrong name but even just googling the title and RCA Victor only comes up with Wilf Carter and Zeke Manners, (I've never heard of the Zeke Manners version).  The disc I'm thinking of was quite popular and I'm surprised that it doesn't come up immediately, singer or no singer; in fact, I thought the singer on this record wrote the words for it.  In any case, it's a good example of humour on RCA.  I could look it up in an instant if I were at home but I'm not with my records at the moment.  It is so dramatic as he acts out the words and it makes Carter's version, sung very fast with his guitar, sound almost pedestrian by comparison.  Perhaps the version I'm thinking of was only
 released in Canada.
