4/5/10 - Larry Vincent
On starting research on Larry Vincent, I found a lot of stuff on him. Then I looked at the dmdb.com and noticed the fact that Larry Vincent is not Larry "Seymour" Vincent, host of horror movies before Elvira took his place. So now I don't have a lot on him although Seymour was a fascinating guy :)
Larry Vincent and His Lookout Boys released "The Freckle Song" in 1946. From history, I know that this was the middle of the decency movement in movies and comic books so many were trying to find ways around it, and in some creative ways. This song is full of innuendo but nothing vulgar if you read the lyrics. I listened the first time and wondered about how he saw her but then I read it and the lyrics clear that up :)
So here's Larry Vincent and His Lookout Boys with "The Freckle Song"
Lyrics
I've got a girl that I'm just simply wild about
Folks say I'm a lucky boy
Everywhere we go people rave about
This little bundle of joy
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She smells like a rose from her head down to her toes
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
All the sailors give her a chase
'Cause they love her navel base
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She's like my Nellie from her head down to her elbow
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
With old men she likes to neck
She necks the wrecks and gets a check
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She was born in Hackensack
She made a fortune on her career
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She drinks until she gets plastered
She gets drunker than my brother
She's got freckles on her but she is nice
