The Chool Song

"The Chool Song" is a short film that is a 'Soundie'...an early sort of music video that was played on specially built jukeboxes from 1940-1947. These jukeboxers were unusual because they not only played music but video...like music videos of the modern era. And, if you are curious about this an other soundies, you might want to buy yourself a copy of "Soundies the Ultimate Collection"...a 4 disc set of about 200 of these films.

"The Chool Song" is a nonsense song and instead of the usual performers standing or sitting on stage, here they are dressed in costumes reminscent of 18th century France. It reminds me of songs like "Mairzy Doats" or The Three Stooges singing "The Alphabet Song"...fun and silly. I like this one much more than its relatively low rating...it's fun and I appreciate the weird costumes.
