The mention of The Charleston within other songs...
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2016 6:41 pm
While The Charleston is kickin' about in it's scarcity and value.
I thought I'd start a thread about non-Charleston songs that simply give it a mention.
This first one turns out to be a three for one...
"Sunset Cafe Stomp" 1926, Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five (Okeh)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQaQLwb0I9E
Sunset stomp got folks jumpin’
Sunset stomp got folks
Jumpin' up and down, all around
They yell, band men play some more
Charleston, Charleston
I’ll say it's hot
But your Black Bottom, it’s got ‘em
But, oh, that Sunset Stomp
Lord, it’s going
To the peoples brains
Created in the crazy house
It sets good folks insane
Gentlemen, ladies too
Rush'en round n round
They loose their head
Some drop dead
Doin’ that Sunset Stomp
I said, doin' Sunset Stomp

"Come On Baby" 1927, Harmony Dance Orchestra (Madison / Grey Gull)
This is in my collection and I could not find audio on the web.
There was a different, popular, song with the same name circulating at the same time.
Come on baby, hotsy-totsy baby,
come on steppin’ with me.
Dady’s gonna take you where they play the hottest music,
we’ll dance The Charleston ‘till we can not see.
Don’t forget to bring a pair of shoes that will last,
because we are going to shake our feet furious and fast.
Come on baby, hotsy-totsy baby,
come on steppin’ with me.
James.
