This is my blog where I write about music, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting. Mostly from my own LPs and 78s. Comments and feedback always appreciated. Please do not link directly to mp3s. It's rude.

Slap Her Down Again Paw.. whoa

Esmereldy and Her Novelty Band
Slap Her Down Again Paw
1948

As much as I tend to avoid encouraging negative stereotypes against hillbillies, hicks, yokels, etc., this song is a bizarre piece of "comedy" that must be heard to believe. This song is about the singer's sister Bessie, a hussy who has been cavorting with a traveling salesman with "City slickin' ways." As for the rest, the title says it all.
Internet searching leads me to believe it's from 1948. If you really love the song and want to share it, there's a better quality version to be found here. Don't ask me why I made my own mp3... I guess it just felt like stealing otherwise.

Labels: comedy, country

Aw yeah. I cracked up the first time I listened to this disc. I've got this one too, but Esmereldy doesn't quite ring a bell. I'll have to dig in my 78s to see who else may have sung it... As un-PC as these sorts of songs are, they are quite the gems, for they capture that piece of cultural history quite well. ...it was fun discovering your site. I'll try to stop by more often. I've linked to you from http://vintagevinylrevival.com
Stop by for a visit sometime.
