I just saw this a few months ago, must have played on TCM or the like.

It's just a jive song about food. They wrote a few in the late 30s-early 40s - "Hold Tight, Want Some Seafood Mama", "The Frim Fram Sauce", "Pick-A-Rib", and the like.
Uh, you know that those songs aren't actualy about food, right?

I just saw these gals in a Three Stooges short a few days ago and I couldn't figure out where I had seen them before. Then I log onto the Fedora Lounge and there is the answer to my question. What a funny coincidence!

I think it's just a nonsense phrase that fits the rhythm of the song, not unlike "Cement Mixer Putty Putty" or "Shoot The Sherbert To Me Herbert." Certainly nobody could find double entendres there!

:D I don't know about not finding double entendres, but the title alone, "Shoot the Sherbet to Me Herbert" is just too funny. So I had to find it on iTunes (Tommy Dorsey) and listen - it's great.

I like how the apple just "jumped" up into the one girl's mouth.

The entire time I was watching that I was thinking "Where are their rib cages?!" No one should be able to move that way with our bone structure the way it is!

Now that little diddy is going to be stuck in my head all day! :eusa_doh:

WOW!

I'm not sure that I can say much more on this family friendly forum.

Oh lordy! I actually saw the film that this clip came from on TCM...I cannot believe I actually sat through it up until that part....worst classic movie ever!!! I remember trying to suffer through it, and then that scene came on, and my b/f walked in the room and was like, "What in the world are you watching???" And usually he makes "smart" comments about all my old films, but honestly...this time I couldn't even defend it...LOL
