I got a brief chuckle from the results of the following PubMed search:

"Spondylitis, Ankylosing"[MeSH] AND "Food/adverse effects"[MeSH]

I know, I know, there is a special place for the unrepentant.

E-Lim-In-Nate the negative,

These old songs date us, don't you think? I still remember the tune.

George

Hi George,

Yes they do date us, but I suppose we have to ... latch on to the affirmative & don't mess with Mr.In-between.

Good to see you posting!
Cat

Oh bother!, you beat me to it.

I'm trying to remember the second verse but "it is completely gone"

I can't even remember who it was that made that song a short term hit.

George

I have a big band swing recording of it with Dr. John, love it! .....Humph, can't find it now Oh well, same album he dueted with Ricky Lee Jones singing Making Whoopie .

How far back was that Loz?

Somewhere, I have a record of Eddie Cantor singing Making Whoopi. I think that he was the first or one of the first to sing that song on radio and then on record.

I liked that group of guys that Cantor hung out with like Jolson and Jessel (and still do). It was hard to tell those two apart at times.

I didn't have any idea as to what "making Whoopi" meant when I first listened to these guys. Hey, I was only 8 years old then.

George

Hi George,

Does this sound familiar ? The lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer. The song was a hit in '45 & nominated for an academy award in that year.

I know ... a useless bit of trivia,

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said, We'd better accentuate the positive ...

Yup, that's it.

Good memory Cat! Useless? Not at all.
Trivia is fun. I'm at that age where I am sure to be on someone's trivia list.

Oh not too long ago George. Dr John has been around since the 1950's as a New Orleans studio musician but his first hit wasn't until 1972 with Iko Iko. The album I'm refering to was from early 90's.
