Irving Aaronson - Let's Misbehave (1928)

"Let's Misbehave" is a famous song written by Cole Porter in 1927, originally intended for the female lead of his first major production, Paris. Although it was discarded before the Broadway opening in favor of Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love, the star of the Broadway production, Irene Bordoni, did a phonograph recording of it which was labelled as from the production of Paris.

This rendition of the song is performed wonderfully by Irving Aaronson and His Commanders who were an American big band active in New York in the mid-twenties.

Andrews Sisters - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (1941)

This EPIC classic is #6 on the "Songs of the Century" list, put out by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the National Endowment for the Arts

According to the lyrics of the song, a renowned Chicago, Illinois street musician is drafted into the U.S. Army during the Wartime Draft imposed by the Roosevelt Administration. In addition to being famous, the bugler was the "top man at his craft," but the Army had little use for his talents and he was reduced to blowing the wake up call (Reveille) in the morning. This caused the musician to become dejected: "It really brought him down, because he couldn't jam." The Cap (An Army Captain—the Company Commander) took note of the blues man's blues and went out and conscripted more musicians to assemble a band to keep the bugler company. Thereafter, the bugler found his stride, infusing the military marches with his inimitable street flair: "He blows it eight to the bar - in boogie rhythm." Even his morning calls attain some additional flavor: "And now the company jumps when he plays reveille." But, the bugler is not only empowered, he is possibly spoiled, because thereafter, "He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar/Isn't with him."
