Historic Nostalgia...
2 of 2 from Eddy Duchin.
Duchin's 1938
release of the Louis Armstrong song "Ol' Man Mose", sung by Patricia
Norman, caused a minor scandal at the time with the lyric "bucket" being
heard as "f*ck it."
Some listeners conclude that there is no
vulgarism uttered, while others are convinced that Norman does say
"f*ck" (which would explain one of the band members laughing delightedly
after Norman seems to chirp, "Awww, f*ck it... f*ck-f*ck-f*ck it!").
The
"scandalous" lyrics caused the record to zoom to #2 on the Billboard
charts, resulting in sales of 170,000 copies when sales of 20,000 were
considered a blockbuster. The song was banned after its release in Great
Britain.
