The Mills Brothers - Get A Job (45 version with lead vocal)
The original 45 rpm version....seems that when they were pulling tapes to put the song out on cd in stereo, they pulled one that was missing the lead vocals entirely, and that has ended up being the norm for cd reissues of the song. I do not own this 45, but i felt the track was rare enough that somebody should post it, as it originally was. You can hear songs like this one every night of the week on www.topshelfoldies.com!

The Mills Brothers - Smoke Rings
Smoke Rings performed by The Mills Brothers, 1932. Footage from Cinderella starring Mary Pickford, 1914. "The Mills Brothers were a jazz and pop vocal quartet of the 20th century producing more than 2000 recordings that sold more than 50 million copies and garnered at least three dozen gold records. The Mills Brothers were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998." Lyrics: "Where do they go, These smoke rings I blow each night? Oh what do they do these circles of blue and white? Why do they seem to picture a dream of love? Why do they fade that phantom parade of love? Where do they end, the smoke rings I send on high? Where are they hurled when they've kissed the world good-bye? Oh, I'd give my life to laugh at this stife below; I'd be a king, I'd follow each ring I blow. Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away; Puff, puff, puff night and day. Blow, blow them through the air, silky little rings, Blow, blow them ev'rywhere, give your troubles wings. What do they tell and what is the spell they cast? Some of them fall and seem to recall the past. Oh, little smoke rings I love, Please take me above, take me with you."
