Extra Information | One of the most famous songs of the 1920s. Written under the pen name of Irving King and published themselves after failing to find interest; the song would be performed by music hall greats like Ella Shields and American stars alike. One of the songs to survive through today; this legacy probably being helped with its inclusion in Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975) as a drunken singalong in the boat. |
