Andrews Sisters Sing Getting Corns For My Country | Hollywood Canteen | Warner Archive

[@tomsmith7742]

The first, and best, girl group of all time.

[@MattS3NTM]

@@monicabella7894 the boswell sisters were an act of sister blues singers from the 30s. A lot of people like to say the andrews girls copied their act, in actuality they started as a mimic act, but quickly became a pioneer group of jump blues and completely became stars in their own right.

[@jane2543]

The first? Not really, the best? Maybe

[@MrJosealfonsoperez]

Patty was very expressive, I love it

[@legionaer1125]

Remenber Folks. This Song is 80 Years old!

[@daryljay7057]

Man alive, I hope people realize just how outstanding these ladies were! The band, the tune, lyrics, the dynamics, key & time changes. The Greatest Generation in SOOO many ways! I'd sure love to be that anklet on Patty's left ankle!!

"When we think we cant go on, we find we cant get enough" What a great line!

[@ew1usnr]

I love the Andrews Sisters.

[@hockeyrd99]

Wow! The effort that must have gone into such a production! Great camera angles, sound is clear, and all the sisters look great in the movie.

[@thejupiter2574]

I love love the blonde middle sister Patty she had a great personality and very physical so much fun and energy with expressions and humor like Martha Raye and Nancy Walker.

[@Tumbledweeb]

Allegedly, she was a horrible person.

[@Tumbledweeb]

@Agustin Rossetti I don't know why she was a horrible person. LaVerne and Maxene has spoken about it in interviews.

[@thejupiter2574]

@@Tumbledweeb I had only ever heard that the sisters were upset that Patty decided to go solo without telling them.

[@Cracktaculus]

Patty the shouter, the belter. She made it with her tone so her sisters could sing at full volume in harmony....Genius. Crowd-pleasing vocal projection technique

[@russellcandy9850]

It a shame they ended up not speaking for years. But did speak before Laverne passed in 67. Best girl group ever!!!!

I'm gettin' corns for my country At the Hollywood Canteen The hardest workin' junior hostess You've ever seen I'm doin' my bit down here for Uncle Sam I'm a patriotic jitterbug Yeah, yeah, that's what I am I'm gettin' corns for my country, you should see the pounds fly I'm gettin' down the waistline and I don't even try I don't need a Duberry or a Westmore course 'Cause my weight's been taken over by the Army Air Force We're not petite as sweet Joan Leslie, but then we never mind When those GI's knock the South, we're glad that we're the healthy kind The way those cowboys from the prairie expect us to sashay I think I'd rather two step with their horses any day We're gettin' corns for our country though the goin' is tough When we think we can't go on, we find we can't get enough So if you hear of a soldier, sailor or marine Tell him to look us up at the Hollywood Canteen I used to be aesthetic, they say, oh yes I was, really I was I served the drama, arts and the ballet But the theatre guild came over and said, forget about Pavlova Learn to cut a rug, so now we're jitterbugs I'm gettin' corns for my country, so I'm really all in In a week from now we'll be here with our usual vim So if you hail from the Bronx, Des Moines or Aberdeen Come down and ask for us at the Hollywood Canteen

[@thejupiter2574]

I Love it.

[@ericaulbach]

Thanks. Always wondered what they were singing like Duberry & Westmore as well as vim. Ow I’m all squared away!

[@guesswho111]

There is something very special about Laverne.

[@makeievka]

They are amazing, they way they sing and dance.. Patty is lovely and so expressive. That's what I call having a real talent

[@tonyruiz2390]

Kicking back at my grandparents house changing the channel around and found this on TV told my grandmother Good times my Grandfather remembers he served in WW2 in the Pacific he still a Marine

[@arlenecerf8833]

Laverne was around 33 here - Patti around 26 - and Maxine was around 28. 😊

[@bruce92106]

This is such a classic just timeless I hope the of kids today can understand what it was all about

[@h31sman]

Having a crush on some women from 80 years ago. Dgaf. These women are spicy and talented. What a time to be alive.

[@dudley5533]

The Andrew Sisters.......who can ever forget them? They performed a lot for a long time and never wore out! Great video showing their generous talent for the Hollywood Canteen bringing morale to the military men.

[@markfogle8322]

The Àndrews sisters are still cool today....

[@josephwalther8281]

It just amazes me how tight the vocals were. And what I find funny is that when they start walking toward the stage, they never look at each other but are in time and step. Also they dip their heads the same way and time on certain words. I betting none of that was choreographed, but just from being together so long.

[@TonoFonseca]

Siblings know each other. My two younger brothers and I are more or less the same way.

[@rah62]

It's a *movie*. Of course it was choreographed.

[@hebneh]

Before this, when the Andrews Sisters were put in one Universal Studios B-movie after another, they pleaded to be assisted by a choreographer for their musical numbers, but were refused, to save money. So they HAD to come up with their own routines. Of course, they had been performing on stage for years by then, so they also were very experienced in doing shows to please live audiences.

[@Bobbyo60]

I agree, in the early era of Rock you had the Everly Brothers that had that”sing together all our lives”harmony.

[@genevievedechamps2681]

Just fabulous

[@freedomtrucker2332]

I love the Andrew Sisters ..

[@bobmiller970]

IF I COULD I WOULD PACK MY STUFF HOP IN A TIME MACHINE AND GO BACK TO THE 1940S AND NEVER COME BACK

[@mokin-rui717]

xds9mm I'm right alone with you. These ladies knew things that today's have forgotten.

[@tomsmith7742]

Prob'ly change your mind on that if you landed in Auschwitz, or Normandy Beach on D-Day, or... I could go on, but all that great song and dance and was a direct result of trying to deal with all the miserable shitstorm of of a decade...

[@gboo7563]

@@tomsmith7742 what decade isnt a shit storm u have caronavirus starting 2020 out . Depression and ww2 was crazy time but u see how people banned together and got through it without bitching and complaining like we do today . Yeah war is hell but look at how strong minded that generation was they never gave up!

She was so wonderfully and all of them and they are loved by us all

[@Tumbledweeb]

Absolutely! And even more wonderful; Maxene was a lesbian. Love that people like me had representation way back then!

[@Christopher.Colberg]

Damn was she actually? Or was it when she was older... so I wouldn't of even had a chance :( she's so pretty

[@FemboySalad2000s]

Gorgeous.

[@haroldgillette7157]

If the started out today,they,especially Patty,would still be loved today. They have talent,that transcends!!

[@Tumbledweeb]

They are still loved today! In fact, the younger generations love their music! I'm one of said generations. I was introduced to their music through a video game called "Fallout 4".

[@jirpek2456]

Perfect...

[@karlajensen3708]

Ah back during the time when Hollywood celebs actually loved their country. Would have l oved to see the Andrews Sisters sing with the Lennon Sisters in the 50''s. that would have been some epic harmonies.

Patty and Maxene are clearly sisters, they really do lookalike. Almost twins. LaVerne looks different.

[@tommyt9761]

So wholesome.....do any such people hang around Hollywood these days?

[@hipsterdoofus1026]

They'd always get into horrible arguments and break up because Maxine was a lesbian and the other two couldn't accept it

Laverne and Maxene were put into some odd costumes in this number.

What??? Their dressed were just the color opposite of Patty's dress which was beautiful. All three of their dresses were beautiful. You don't know what you're talkin' about.

[@hebneh]

@@greeneyedwarlock882 It's the short aprons they're wearing that look peculiar. I assume these are being worn because they're hostesses who are serving food and drink. The two sisters would've looked better without them.
