Not sure how to answer your question - but here goes. This song recieved extensive air play during WWII and was used in many films of the time. It was written by Charles Tobias, who was known as "The man who writes the songs that people sing!". Charles was inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. Was it famous? Yes I suppose it was - It rekindled a feeling of hope for our nation in one of it bleakest hours (after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor) by reminding us of our triumph in WWI.
December seventh, ninteen hundred and forty one Our land of freedom was defied December eight, nineteen hundred and forty one Uncle Sam replied We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again We've got a heck of a job to do But you can bet that we'll see it through We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again We're one for all and we're all for one They'll get a lickin' before we're done Millions of voices are ringing Singing as we march along We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again We'll knock them over and then we'll get The guy in back of them We did it before, we'll do it again We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again We know we're right and we also know That gangsterism has got to go We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again When we get goin' and start to click We'll put the ax to the Axis quick Millions of voices are ringing Singing as we march along We did it before and we can do it again And we will do it again This country never has lost a war From days of William Penn We did it before, we'll do it again
I've watched this video several times in 2022 and 2023, so that includes me! Just as my homeland was willing to supply the Allies in 1941, so too are we willing to supply Ukraine today! "We did it before and we can do it again, and we'll do it again!"
This song was written by Charles Tobias the week after Pearl Harbor. By then, America had declared war on Japan, and Germany and Italy had declared war on the U.S. It was a very patriotic response to all three events. Tobias also shared credit for "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree With Anyone Else But Me".
"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" was a cute little number, but it addressed a serious issue: it was the women staying behind promising to remain faithful, and asking the men going to war to do the same.
Huh...for the longest time I've heard the instrumental version of this song in cartoons when I was a kid and have always wondered what the song was called Thank you so much for posting this!!
True, the US was a high % German - but even higher % English. Since the German's were attacking England and in an alliance with the Japanese who attacked us, we were absolutely correct to defend ourselves and the countries we had alliances with. As to whether Charles Tobias ever served in the war I can not say, but to call him a rabble rouser is inappropriate. Admittedly, the song is rousing - but it was not written to rouse the rabble, but rather the inspire the patriot.
You never attack the USA we will give a response in blood and death. WW2 we helped with soldiers, fuel, military weapons and munitions, technological advancement, food, morale and science and rebuilt Europe and Japan after.
@getstefano The film was copyrighted March 23,1942 by the Soundies Distribution Corp. of America and was used strictly in Panoram Jukeboxes until 1947 when the company went belly-up. After that some Soundies aired on early television, but there is little recorded info about that. To my knowledge it never appeared in a movie, if it did it would have been after WW2. In the 1950s these films were sold to the general public in a final attempt to make a profit. The correct title is listed above.
Yes, it's backwards. It was originally intended to be projected onto a mirror at the bottom of a Panoram video jukebox and reflected onto the viewing screen at the top of the machine.
Really nice post. Very timely considering the past week's events in Afghanistan. Thank you for sharing it. There's got to be someone out there who could advise you on how to easily flip these great old Soundies over so the graphics "read right". That way they would be twice as effective and meaningful. Once again, many thanks Quidamkid!
I agree. Output quality is very important. Adobe Premiere Elements 9 has a mirror video function called "flip horizontal" which might work. I don't know if the quality would suffer or not. Adobe's website always offers a free 30-day-try-before-you-buy on its software. If it works, Adobe Premiere Elements 9 is available at Amazon for $50 after a special rebate + free delivery + no sales tax. Hope this is helpful. Your contribution to the CZcams community is very important and most appreciated.
@billywiggle Actually, I know how to do the flip with Window's Movie Maker but have been having issues with the quality of the output when I use it. Will keep working on it.
I don't think it was a question of rekindling hope so much as shoring up support for the war effort as before Pearl Harbor most Americans were strongly against intervention.
It's a 8 mm film that was made in the early 1940's for use in the then new video jukebox technology called a panoram machine. My uncle purchased many of these films after his WWII service years. I inherited many of them. Some of those I inherited are extremely rare and some were even thought to no longer exist.
Quidamkid Thank you, I also did aditional info check up after you wrote the answer. Intersting stuff, I just wanted to know in my previous question, could we hope in the future a better online version of the 8mm original?
Dear Qidarnkid, I am reseraching on WWII movies and was wondering if you could tell me what the title of this soundy is and, if you know it, if it was incorporated in a feature movie by any chance. Thank you for your help!

Yeah it ain't looking like a win after all these issues and breaking of civil liberty it's just we did the same deal the mouse did with the cat in a cartoon with this song and now we need to stand up before we turn into a communist hell.

@@Quidamkid I know. But Brooks and Reiner sang this song on CBS Sunday Morning interview last Sunday.
I didn't understand what was being said, thanks for the info.
I just remember this song being in some cartoon video about mice building a robotic cat and fighting against a cat. lol!

December seventh, ninteen hundred and forty one
Our land of freedom was defied
December eight, nineteen hundred and forty one
Uncle Sam replied
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We've got a heck of a job to do
But you can bet that we'll see it through
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We're one for all and we're all for one
They'll get a lickin' before we're done
Millions of voices are ringing
Singing as we march along
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We'll knock them over and then we'll get
The guy in back of them
We did it before, we'll do it again
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We know we're right and we also know
That gangsterism has got to go
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
When we get goin' and start to click
We'll put the ax to the Axis quick
Millions of voices are ringing
Singing as we march along
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
This country never has lost a war
From days of William Penn
We did it before, we'll do it again

The song appeared in the 1943 Warner Brothers short cartoon '5th Colon Mouse'.
Love the version in Bad Lieutenant couch/hangover scene but this takes it.
We still have this Spirit. Been squashed for a few generations. WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. AMERICA FIRST

no entiendo gran parte de la letra pero me gusta oír esta canción
I'm surprised that this version didn't include the verse, "This country hasn't lost a war since the days of William Penn"!

Technically, it is; Vietnam collapsed to a massive blitzkrieg from the North after the US left.
I count it as a loss, tho.
@@HooDatDonDar This song was before Vietnam
Hoping this applies to the Dodgers in the extant NLCS. Thanks for posting this video!

Where did you get this, I would really like to see a high quality of this if it even exists by now.

I doubt it, but I can try. Unfortunately the films have all degraded from improper storage.

I hope this is the case with the soviets in chin and ru but sadly it seems like it's going to be hell.
why is this mirrored
The film was made to be shown on a Mills Panoram Movie Jukebox. In the machine the film is projected on a mirror and viewed at the top.
