Subject: Your Hit Parade-Done
Written By: CatwomanofV on 11/18/05 at 1:19 pm
There are songs from the 1940s. None are obscure (at least I don't think they are) and a couple of the artists are the same. Since this is a short quiz, only 2 answer limit (for now).
I'll try this for a bit and if no one gets these two, I will add hints.
1. Loki13 Spent each dime I could afford. Sentimental Journey-Doris Day/Les Brown
2. Loki13 Workin' for the Yankee dollar. Rum & Coca Cola-The Andrews Sisters
3. Paul The world will always welcome lovers. As Time Goes By-Dooley Wilson (one of my favs)
4. Gambo Empty pockets don

Right on both accounts (and I was looking for Doris Day/Les Brown. FYI, my step-father used to play drums for Les Brown.)

My step-father played with him BEFORE it was Les Brown and his Band of Renowned. It was Les Brown's Blue Devils-that's going WAY back. But, like Les Brown, my step-father is no longer with us. :\'( :\'( (Sorry to be getting off-topic a bit-had to brag. ;) )

Great quiz!!! These are all great songs.
Thanks. I don't recall anyone doing a quiz with all these "old time" songs before so I thought I would give it a shot.

Wonderful stuff, Cat...and fascinating to learn about your step-dad's time with Les Brown...
#3. 'As Time Goes By' - Dooley Wilson (from the most ill-quoted movie of all time, 'Casablanca'...'Play It Again, Sam' (where this song comes in) is never uttered...!)
#10. 'Swinging On A Star' - That man Crosby again...

Thanks-and you're right on both of them.
#8 Stormy Weather - Lena Horne
That's it. 1/2 point because Tomario got the song first.
I'll update the list tomorrow.

#8 sounds like STORMY WEATHER but I couldn't hazard a guess who recorded it in the 40's...

VERY close. You got the artist but not the title. Wanna try again?

With pleasure, it's I'll Be Seeing You. I knew it as soon as I saw it but I couldn't think of the name of the woman who sang it in the movie. Did Bing Crosby ever sing it?
Right song but wrong artist. Think Big Band.
