Appreciating the Significance of Insignificance

| Once the most popular man on TV |
THE SIMPLE CHARM OF A GENTLER, MORE JOYFUL ERA REVEALED IN THIS POPULAR SONG FROM 1952. IT CAME OUT SHORTLY AFTER DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER BECAME OR PRESIDENT. WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR OUR MANY BLESSINGS THEN, AND STILL KNEW HOW TO HAVE GOOD CLEAN FUN.
Dance Me Loose
A little Dutch girl in Sheboygan
Wss perfect in English at School
But she’s excited or when she’s delighted
Her words get mixed up as a rule.
On Saturday night in Sheboygan
While dancing to waltzes they play
Even boys who can’t dance
Would all take a chance
Just to hear her say.
“I warm so easy so dance me loose,
Dance me loose dance me loose
I warm so easy so dance me loose
It shines so bright the moon.”
“Don’t hold my arms so extra out
Extra out extra out
Don’t hold my ams so extra out
It makes so good to spoon.”
The music played and played played
They whirled around the floor
The fellows stayed and stayed and stayed
To hear her say once more
“I warm so easy so dance me loose
Dance me loose, dance me lose
I warm so easy so dance me loose
It shines so bright the moon
And makes so good to spoon.”
~ Music by Lee Erwin
Sung by Arthur Godfrey
WE APPRECIATED BACH, HAYDN, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, an BRAHMS TOO, BUT UNDERSTOOD THE IMMENSE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SERIOUS and POPULAR MUSIC.
THOSE WERE WONDERFUL TIMES TO BE ALIVE, AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE JOY OF BEING AN AMERICAN WHEN THAT STILL MEANT SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT.
