Wiki says that he recorded this song in 1940, but the link says 1931. Anyone know anything about the history of this song?
Spoiler:
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, but when I woke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you and make you happy if you will only say the same but if you leave me to love another you'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy, when skies are gray, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear you really loved me that no one else could come between but now you've left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy, when skies are gray, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

Hey, here's one! This is the highest selling single of all-time!
1941/1947 - White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Crosby originally recorded this in 1941 but due to frequent play, the master was damaged and he rerecorded it in 1947. Nowadays the 1947 version is more commonly heard. I have no idea which version this is. _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

I was going to wait until December until I posted Christmas music. Even though this song is very depressing, its not that bad of a song. _________________

Depressing? Why? Maybe I should pay attention to the lyrics! _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

1941 - At Last - Glenn Miller
Spoiler:
At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah At last the skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah… You smile, you smile oh And then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven for you are mine.... At Last

Wikipedia said something along the lines of Fats Domino's agent/whatever his title was told him NOT to record this song! Good thing he didn't listen! It was his biggest hit! _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died I really can't stay - Get over that old out Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold…. It's cold out there Cant you stay awhile longer baby Well…..I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby Ahh, do that again….
Hey, I didn't know this was considered a Christmas song! I thought Christmas songs had to actually include, oh, I don't know, the word "Christmas!" _________________

Burl Ives - Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly) [1949]
Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly) With "Captain Stubby & The Buccaneers" from the film SO DEAR TO MY HEART; melody based on an 18th Century air. Charted 12 February, 1949
Lavender Blue", also called "Lavender's blue", is an English folk song dating to the 17th century. This version, sung by Burl Ives, was featured in the Walt Disney movie SO DEAR TO MY HEART in 1949. It was Ives' second hit song, and reintroduced it to popularity in the 20th century. Burl's first hit was BLUE TAIL FLY, recorded with the Andrews Sisters in 1948. (Some info. here from an article at Wikipedia)
Spoiler:
So DEAR TO MY HEART is a feature film produced by Walt Disney, released in Chicago on November 29, 1948 and released generally on January 19, 1949 by RKO Radio Pictures. Like 1946's Song of the South, the film combines animation and live action. It is based on the Sterling North book Midnight and Jeremiah.
The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "Lavender Blue", but lost against "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from Neptune's Daughter. (from Wikipedia)
--LYRICS-- Lavender blue dilly dilly Lavender green If I were king dilly dilly, I'd need a queen
Who told me so dilly dilly Who told me so? I told myself dilly dilly I told me so
If your dilly dilly heart Feels a dilly dilly way And if you answer "yes," In a pretty little church, On a dilly dilly day, You'll be wed in a dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly Lavender green Then I'll be king dilly dilly, And youi'll be my queen
Great-grandfather met great-grandmother When she was a shy young miss And great-grandfather won great-grandmother With words, more less, like this...
Lavender blue dilly dilly Lavender green If you were king dilly dilly, You'd need a queen
Who told you so dilly dilly Who told you so? I told myself dilly dilly I told me so
If your dilly dilly heart Feels a dilly dilly way And if you answer "yes," In a pretty little church, On a dilly dilly day, You'll be wed in the dilly dilly dress of
Lavender blue dilly dilly Lavender green Then I'll be king dilly dilly And you'll be my queen
