Thanks to Pandora I’ve been on a bit of an Annette Hanshaw kick. It’s like eating candy 
Can’t figure out a line from “I think you’ll like it”. The line at :50 is, according to this page: “The way we girls dress they only pour more on”. That doesn’t sound like an accurate transcription to me, and even if it is, WTH does it mean?
BTW, the Helen Kane/ Betty Boop voice isn’t her normal thing, just in a few songs which, I believe, she released under a different name.
Helen Kane also sounds to me like
“The way we girls are dressed Salome had far more on
You act like I’m a Joan of Arc with her armor on”
Lyrics by George Marion Jr., music by Richard Whiting
And this has some more about Annette and Helen.
Wow, that makes a hell of a lot more sense! Thanks for the links
Want to try one more? The song (a really great one) is “When a woman loves a man” What’s the line at 1:44? There are lots of songs with that title whose lyrics are online- this is a pretty obscure one, I guess.
Pile up your seven seas
Mountains and rocks and trees
You’re up against something stronger than these…
Thanks, Biffy. I was hearing “stronger than bees”, and that’s just stupid.
Billy Rose wrote the lyrics, per Songwriters Hall of Fame, Ralph Rainger the music, and Fanny Brice (married to Billy, 1929-38) sings it in her 1930 movie Be Yourself!, getting to “pile up the seven seas” at about 2:57 in the clip. (Despite “being yourself”, Rose, Rainger, and Brice all found it useful for show business to change the family name.) And, wow, in the same movie Fanny also sings “Cookin’ Breakfast for the One I love”, another Annette favorite.
Good call — especially tough since she pronounced it with two syllables (sa-LOHM). Did no one on the set know enough to correct her?
I hear an “E”- “sa-low-me”.
