Old Time Music

Music has changed through the years. In the early 1900's music had a happy beat and funny words. It made you smile and sing along. The lyrics were catchy. If you added them to a banjo or the big band sound of clarinets, trumpets and trombones, you had a sure winner. The other day I heard a song from 1930. It has been going round and round in my head. The repetitive line  is, "What kind of a noise annoys an oyster when an oyster's in a stew". Say this line a few times and you will see the brilliance of the limerick. Take three minutes out of your day and keyword Frank Crumit and What Kind of a Noise Annoys an Oyster on You Tube. Listen to it and I bet you will smile and still keep humming it when it is over.
