Boys"? "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay" was circling the
globe at the time of the World's Fair, and we
knew of the captain of a square rigger who heard
the chorus in Hongkong and thought he was listen-
ing to a Chinese song. In the early nineties came
"Annie Rooney," "After the Ball," "A Bicycle
Built for Two" and "Sweet Marie." After "The
Blue and the Gray" and "Just One Girl" began th«
era of ragtime with "Hello, Ma Baby!" "The
Good Old Summer Time" helped to bring in the
new century. "Tammany," "Hiawatha" and "Tell
Me, Pretty Maiden"—the sextet of "Florodora"
fame—came along about the same time. Later
there have been "Nancy Brown," "So Long, Mary,"
"Dearie," "I Love a Lassie" and other Harry
Lauder songs, "Yip-i-addy," "Beautiful Eyes,"
"Rings on My Fingers" and the yet-echoing "Every
Little Movement." There have been besides whole
groups of songs, such as the moon-and-baboon type
of serenade, and the songs celebrating home and
childish joys—the peeping-through-the-knot-hole-
in-grandpa's-wooden-leg sort of thing. Taking it
through twenty years, there has probably been no

not be said for the words. Recently we passed an
hour at a moving picture show. Between sets of
pictures the audience was induced to join in sing-
ing the five most popular songs of the moment.
They were these: "Oceana Roll," "Mysterious
Rag," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "That Raggy
Rag" and "You Great Big Beautiful Doll." Can
the previous periods show most popular songs with
words equally inane?
