The Broken Record - Johnny Johnson And His Orchestra (1936)

"Johnny Johnson and His Orchestra" performing the novelty tune "The Broken Record". This song is rather fun, as it parodies the common occurrence of records (at that time) getting a nasty chip or scratch, causing a skip in the record.

Lyrics (Transcribed from: lyricsplayground.com)
"My Sweetheart...
you're gorgeous-
you're gorgeous-
you're gorgeous-
you're gorgeous-
you're gorgeous-
you're gorgeous tonight."
That's the song I heard on the phonograph,
The needle caught on the broken half,
And kept playing...
And saying:
"My Sweetheart...
I kiss you-
I kiss you-
I kiss you-
I kiss you,
I kiss you-
I kiss you tonight."
All at once I started to think of you,
The things I've wanted to say and do,
When we're dancing...
Romancing.
The broken record played on and then,
The broken record started again:
"My Sweetheart...
I love you-
I love you-
I love you-
I love you,
I love you-
I love you, I do."
Oh, the tune sounds silly I will agree,
The words sound daffy, but not to me,
For there's no doubt it's the way I feel about you!
