STRIKE UP THE BAND!
Learning the words of all the latest popular songs—as anyone must who wants to amount to anything on campus—becomes more and more difficult. Take last night. I had the radio on for no more than five minutes, and in that time heard two brand spanking new songs—a jump tune called Rock With Me, Hymie and a hilly ballad called They're Hanging Ralph T, Sigafoos at Cock-crow.
And that's the way it goes. New tunes are absolutely flooding the market. No wonder you're having trouble memorizing all the lyrics.
But you don't have to be dull about it. I mean, when a song is playing and you don't know the lyrics, don't just stand there singing *dum*, *dum*, *de*, *dum* or *la*, *la*, *la* or *voom voom*. That is very dull. Pick more interesting syllables—like *slimp gans* or *kretch dinkle* or *mlath roke*.
Take, for instance, That Old Black Magic. Let's say you forgot some of the lyrics. Try singing this:
Has me in its mlath,
That old kretch dinkl
That old kretch dinkle,
That I slimp so gans,
Those icy dinkles
Running down my slimp.
That old kretch dinkle
When your roke meets mine . . . etc.
See? Interesting? What did I tell you?
But knowing the lyrics-or interesting substitutes-is not nearly enough. To really rate on campus, you must also be acquainted with odd and interesting facts about the composers. For example:
1. Irving Berlin's name spelled backwards is Gnivri Nilreb.
2. Rodgers and Hammerstein can only write music while whitewashing a fence.
3. Ludwig von Beethoven's hobby was collecting cold sores.
4. One of our greatest songs was written because the wife of an impecunious composer came home one afternoon with a cantelope and a dog named Lassie. "Why did you bring home a
She came home with a cameloupe and a joe turned loose.
canteloupe and a dog named Lassie?" said the composer to his wife. "For the baby," she replied. The composer grew angry. "Here we are flat broke," he cried, "and you come home with a melon for the baby, a collie for the baby!" Suddenly, struck by an inspiration, he rushed to the piano and wrote Melancholy Baby.
5. Cole Porter writes all his songs with a popsicle stick on the side of a horse.
6. Hoagy Carmichael's hobby is spelling Irving Berlin's name backwards.
And what does the true music lover smoke? Why, Philip Morris,
of corris! Why? Because Philip Morris is a song of a cigarette
a veritable symphony, a melody serene, a tone poem, a cantata,
a lied, a chansonette, a fugue of one gentle puff upon another,
allegro vet dolce, lively, mild, harmonious.
That's why.

To old Max's statements, the makers of Philip Morris, sponsors of this column, add this second chorus: Try today's gentle Philip Morris in the bright new red, white and gold pack.
