SONG
HITS
OF THE WAR
LONDON-Big- gest song hit of the second World War is the "Beer Barrel Polka."
Canadian soldiers sang it when they dis- embarked in England. Australian and New Zealand soldiers sang it when they filed down the gangplank in the Middle East. English soldiers sang it as they sloshed through the mud of France. And shelter- dwellers, in · London sing it while the bombs whistle down about them.
So far it's sold nearly a million copies - and it's still a good seller.
Running a close second on England's "hit parade" is the American best- seller, "South of the Bor- der," which, incidentally, was written by England's best known song-writing- team, Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Oarr. That, too, has sold nearly half a mil- lion copies.
Third place probably goes to "Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Good- Bye," with which Gracie Fields, the English come- dienne now in the United States, sang her way into the hearts of the British Army, Navy and Air Force. Some 450,000 copies have been sold.
Carr, working alone, wrote the song that is in fourth place, "Somewhere in France", whose popularity waned after Dunkirk. That sold 400,000 copies.
But none of the songs of this war approach the sales of England's hits of the last war. For instance, "It's a Long. Long Way to Tip- perary" sold 5,000,000 copies, "Rones of Picardy" 3,000,000 copies, and "Keep the Home Fires Burning" over 1,000,000 copies.
Publishers attribute. the drop in sales of hit songs to the radio, on which a popular song to-day is literally played, to death" in about 13 weeks, whereas during the last war the average life of a hit song was two years.
Songs symbolising the uni- versal hope for better days ahead are Anding a ready market. One publisher com- missioned Irving Berlin to' write a song expressing this thought. Berlin produced "It's a Lovely Day To-mor-

row" which sold coples.
100,000
Others that have sold well include "It's Hap, Hap, Happy Day" and "We'll Go Smiling Along.".
*
Topical songs also have proved popular, For the raid-harrassed civilians, their "Good night", whose words go:
"Please don't think me rude because I'm yawning, But I have to get up in
• the morning.
Good night, Goodnight. Got your torchlight?

of
Yes, Got your gas-mask? Yes. All right, all right.
Good night, Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight.","
Then, for the troops, there is "Good Night, Sergeant Ma- jor":
"Kiss me good night, Ser- geant-Major,
Tuck me in my little wooden bed.
We all love you. Ser-· geant-Major
When we hear you bail- ing, "Show a leg."
Don't forget to wake me in the morning
And bring me round, a nice hot cup of tea,
Kiss me goodnight, Ser- geant-Major,
Sergeant-Major, mother to me!"

But the biggest topical song hit of the war was "Hang out the Washing on the Siegfried Line," written by Kennedy and Carr. So far it's sold 350,000 copies, Admittedly. the sales, have fallen off dur- ing the last few months. but the publishers say they'll have a new market when England finally undertakes the offen- sive on land. The words are:
"We're going to hang out the washing on the Sieg- fried Line,
Have you any dirty wash- ing mother dear?
We're going to hang out the washing on the Sieg- fried Line,
'Cause the Washing Day is here
Whether the weather may be wel or Ene
We'll just rub along with- out a care.
We're going to hang out the washing on the Sieg- -fried Line
If the Siegfried Line's still there."

"The best song in the worl is, If I Could Fall in Loov Again I'd Fall in Loo wi Yow Again.
"Don't talk wet, you silly sil," said the Kid from Widnes. "Give me "Trees.

scorned, drawling his spite into space.
"Switch him off," said the Kid from Widnes, "and let's gel Syd Walker."
"Just a minute," said the 'York- shireman, and we listened for an- other little while,

"He's no Englishman," said the Man from Yorkshire.
"There's bad Englishmen," said the Lad from the Elephant "There's rals in every drain."
