Famous "Watch the Birdie" from the movie Hellzapoppin from 1941 with Dean Collins dancing with Martha Raye. This song was also a big success for Gene Krupa's orchestra with Anita O'Day singing.

This was my favorite scene in the movie, particularly because it featured a very young Martha Raye, whom I hardly recognized because I saw her as an older woman in the 1970 Saturday morning TV show "The Bugaloos," in which she played the evil Benita Bizarre who was always trying to foul up the Bugaloos' soft-rock sound with some really vile vibes. Thanks for posting this. Rest in peace, Martha.

Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot And hold it Watch the birdie, just strike a funny pose a while Watch the birdie or you can beat that pose a mile Watch the birdie and let me see your pretty smile And hold it We're looking for a tall dark handsome man With eyes of blue and the golden tan Strong white teeth like Joel McCray Hey you, get out of the way Watch the birdie, we'll take a camera candid shot Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you've got Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot And hold it, hold it Hold it

Martha Raye, really. Didn’t know she could do this. Wasn’t introduced to her until mid 60’s. I wasn’t born until ‘54, so this is interesting to me.

I first came across Martha Raye, as 'Agatha', in 'McMillan & Wife' (also featuring Nancy Walker, Who I thought looked very much like Martha), but never knew She was a great singer & dancer, some decades before !!! 😀

First time I saw Martha Raye this film, I thought I was looking at a gross distortion of Judy Garland. Seems like the two actually had some common history!

Does anyone know who the group that starts singing with Martha at 1:45 is?
@myfrestuff3453 Жыл бұрын
The Six Hits joining Martha here was a swing era singing group and had many manifestations of itself including Six Hits and Miss, featuring six males and one female. The group was formed in Los Angeles in 1936 as a foursome, under the name Three Hits and a Miss, the members being Martha Tilton, Vince Degen, Marvin Bailey and Bill Seckler. I hope that helps! 😉😎
