Let us revisit the Roaring Twenties (vo-vo-VO-de-oh-DOH) and listen to a favorite by the popular 1920s & 30s band of GEORGE OLSEN, who was born on this March day in the year 1893. Olsen sold tons of records, performed on the radio, and conducted the orchestra for several Broadway musicals....including the original run of the 1927 favorite “Good News.” “The Varsity Drag” from that play is today among the best-remembered of the George Olsen record hits.

What a great number. What a great band, my favourite US band of the 20s and 30s. Fabulous, just fabulous. Thanks for putting it up.

Can't stop thinking of The Ruling Class

All of his recordings are classics from "The Roaring 20's" And great listening 80 years later. TKS

@ThePeaceableKingdom I've been thinking of watching the movie. I've heard a lot of good things about it. Perhaps I will!

@CatsPjamas1 Speaking from memory, I haven't seen it in many years, but there is a scene at the end where the western actors break through into the next soundstage where a musical is being filmed, in which there is a male chorus in formal wear (led by Dom DeLuise) singing and dancing to a song that sounds very similar. I don't think it's Varsity Drag, but it's as if they took the melody and wrote their own new lyrics for comic effect. In context it's a funny scene in a funny film.

@ThePeaceableKingdom He certainly had a great orchestra. Also, is this song in "Blazing Saddles"? I have never seen it.

ThePeaceableKingdom

Oh, and why am I thinking of "Blazing Saddles"...

Very nice transcription. A lot of Olsen's recording, especially those on YouTube, have a novelty appeal. But his straight song treatments (as well as his novelties) are always very good, very careful interesting arrangements. Always worth a listen. And the novelty appeal which must have quickly seemed a little corny has a different new appeal 80+ years and several generations later...
