This is the first thing in the while that I have felt a need to share. But, it is just too good. It is from a short from 1945.

Sadly, I have not been able to figure out who the female singer is. However, the male singer is Tex Williams. He is famous for his hit “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that cigarette. That is the song at the beginning of the movie “Thank You for Smoking”. I have included two versions of that below. The first is the original. The second is a cover by Asleep at the Wheel.
