Leaning on a Lamppost (in hell).
I think I may have done this one before, but hey.
Fun fact: This is about the only George Formby number for which he
wasn't able to snag a song-writing credit. His wife and manager, the formidable Beryl, used to make it a condition of George's covering a song that George be given co-author credit, but 'Leaning on a Lamp-post" was the one that got away. Unlike other impoverished tunesmiths of the 1930s, Noel Gay, who'd written 'Me and My Girl' and 'The Lambeth Walk' was at the peak of his success, and for once, Beryl met her match.
Fun fact 2: 'The Lambeth Walk' became so insanely popular, Mussolini demanded to be taught how to do it.
Fun fact 3: 'The Lambeth Walk' also features in one of the first-ever mash-ups, from 1940 "
Lambeth Walk: Nazi Style". The tune was put together with footage from Leni Reifenstahl's documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics "Triumph of the Will", by one Charles Ridley, a British civil servant working in the wartime Ministry of Information. On viewing it,
Goebbels apparently flew out of the room in a rage!
This version has a different title, because the Min. of I. distributed it without commentary and different distributors would add their own opening credits.
