I'm a musician I play the 88's & I do mostly rock n roll, early jazz, stride & boogie woogie & ragtime. I've never had a favorite song until I heard this for some reason it inspires me more than any other song the ultimate feel good song. Happy Days are Here Again is my favorite song. If this song don't lift you up then nothing will.
After my divorce I would only get to see my kids every other weekend, and it was always a special time, so I wrote new lyrics to this song and we all sang "Daddy Days Are Here Again!"
So long sad times Go long bad times We are rid of you at last Howdy gay times Cloudy gray times You are now a thing of the past Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So let's sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again Altogether shout it now There's no one Who can doubt it now So let's tell the world about it now Happy days are here again Your cares and troubles are gone There'll be no more from now on From now on ...
The song was introduced right after the stock market crash in 1929, possibly even the evening of October 29, if memory is at all accurate, here. The band wondered whether to perform the number at all, and finally decided to go ahead. They say that ruined stock brokers and bankers at the club that night were even singing along sarcastically in their despair, throwing confetti in the air and pretend that everything was going to be okay. Of course, we know it only got worse from there.
BigBen Hebdomadarius The earliest recorded version to be found here on CZcams IS the version by The Casa Loma Orchestra, and yes it was INDEED, recorded on the very day of the stock market crash, October 29, 1929! Ironic, Huh?
Dear Mister Jones, ich hoffe wir können in weniger als 4 Jahren dieses Lied aus voller Kehle singen. Oh Gott, welch ein Präsident hat uns heimgesucht..? !
@TheHitch6287 no denying that FDR came to the office with greater experience and prestige. But FDR was likewise accused of achieving mediocre results while over-taxing and over-spending. FDR might have gotten better results by having huge majorities of his own party in Congress, and long coattails that even extended into state governments that flipped. We were lucky to have him while Europe had leaders like Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini.
@beaubluenyc Ther song is a German song about a trip with his sweetheart on the weekend. Has nothing to do with BHO or FDR, Bush or politics. For God's sake do you never relax?
@beaubluenyc I see that this was written 3 years ago, but BHO has provided absolutely zero hope. The difference between President Roosevelt and President Obama besides the former being Assistant Secretary of the Navy during WWI and Governor of New York, is that FDR provided results and leadership, while the current man in the White House has done nothing but overspending and point the blame elsewhere
@bobparis Unemployment in 1930 exceed twenty percent. This was people out of work with no jobs. Even if you include the underemployed the current rate is no where near as high. Get your facts straight.
Dude what are you talking about? In 1935 the highest the stock market got was 146. In 1929, the high was 379. It took over 25 years for the stock price to hit the 1929 level again. FDR screwed us royally with all of his "new deal' programs. Maybe YOU should be the one reading history.
FDR got the US out of the hoover depression, just like Joe Biden is getting us out of the trump depression. You can always know the republicans will find a way to screw up the economy. bush ran the US economy into the ground too, save by Obama.
Bush leaving with a lower rating than Nixon? That's pretty good then, since Nixon was a pretty good president. FDR was a pretty terrible president, all in all. I think comparing Obama to him is actually more insulting to Obama than to anyone else.
We are gonna see a Angel from heaven amen

I like the scratchy sounds on these old records! :)

I love how the song encapsulates the jubilation of his win!
Well, here we all are going forward. Great song, so right for the times.
Never has a song been written with so many augmented chords. Beautiful!!

NO HAPPY DAYS
COME BACK, ONE YEAR!
MSNBC should play this song every time the market swings upwords.
@DanielCDavis, now they're playing for Senator Brown of Massachusetts!!
@schusterlehrling The song is the anthem for the Democratic Party which both FDR and BHO belong to. The Bush anthem is I got mine where's yours?
@livefreeandprosper We ain't seen nothin' yet!
let's not forget a big factor in the recovery from the Great Depression was the War.
@livefreeandprosper - It is probably actually 10% again since several people quit applying for unemployment since the benefits ran out.
@livefreeandprosper, you may be right -- but doesn't tonight's result in Massachusetts give you a glimmer of hope??
@TheHitch6287 Just like Roosevelt 'Priming the pump'...
GCSE history lead me here, Can see why it would have been Roosevelt's campaign song :D
Matt Hobbs
I bet they played this on December 5, 1933
The end of Prohibition...........let beer and liquor flow again !
@nmgscp I'd love the speakeasies!
I think Carrie Fisher loved this song.
all new again
Did the Singer kill him self when the 2nd Crash came ? or is he with the Bankers ?

Hooray for Pres. OBAMA!!!
i wonder if i can get this song somewhere without the crackle ?
@beaubluenyc
Ther song is a German song about a trip with his sweetheart on the weekend.
Has nothing to do with BHO or FDR, Bush or politics.
For God's sake do you never relax?
Shoutout to the DNC, y'all!!
A classic song that was transformed into classic propaganda.

FDR Rules. OBAMA on his path. Go forth Obama.
evidently somebody has never watched Seinfeld. Go look up the soup nazi, then we'll talk about who is ruining CZcams.
It won't work... baah

Good song stolen by bad people.
