The Mills Brothers in Screen Song #59: "I Ain't Got Nobody" (1932)

I finally found this weird little cartoon! People were saying I dreamed it!

I remember and loved these when I was a kid in the early 50s.

Thanks again for the original titles/logos!

[@patrixspringer2753]

Thanks for noticing! I think I have improved upon doing this since I uploaded this (adding or replacing missing titles & keeping it in synch with the sound), so in future, these will have a smoother transition...

[@Gennettor-nc8kx]

Actually the Mills Brothers perform three tunes here: "Some Of These Days", "Tiger Rag" and "I Ain't Got Nobody".

Actual title: Goodbye Blues.

Thank you! That one had me stumped; I have heard it performed by others & there were many songs so similar...the depression era produced many cheer up "Bye" & "Blue" songs! Thanks!

I ain't got nobody was redone by Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth

Given Harry's histrionics/mannerisms, it's not hard to see where Dean Martin's singing style came from (along with Bing Crosby).

[@RayPointerChannel]

Well Crosby came along during the same time. So it seems more like a parallel than inspiration.
