Between the lines
Ain't She Sweet - written by Milton Ager (music) and Jack Yellen (lyrics) in 1927. Recorded by many artists, including the early Beatles, who were not yet moptops and wore their hair in what was called a d.a. (duck's ass) cut. They were recorded doing the song on June 22, 1961 in Hamburg, Germany, with Pete Best--not Ringo--on drums. (A Youtube of that performance exists, but I couldn't get a link that would register here.)*





*I wrote this post to follow "Sweet Music Man" but didn't get it in fast enough.

Sweet Georgia Brown - Brother Bones


Many, many great versions of this. Ella Fitzgerald, Edmund Hall (clarinet for Louis Armstrong), and others. The Brother Bones one is the whistling version made popular by the Harlem Globetrotters. Oh, and the clicking rhythm in the song? Rib bones! That's how Brother Bones got his stage name.

Tin Soldiers and Nixon
Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band
