Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bang Bang Rosie
Two versions of this song exist that I didn't see mentioned, one by Oscar Brand, "Bang Away, Lulu, Bang It Good and Strong, What in the Hell Will the Navy Do When Good Old Lulu's Gone", which was a cut in Brand's LP album Bawdy Sea Chanteys, circa 1957 and, believe it or not, a version from 1936, entitled "Bang, Bang, My Lulu, by of all people, ROY ACUFF, who portrayed himself as being a REALLY clean-cut individual. I wonder if he would have become known as the King of Country Music and such an influential person on the Grand Ol' Opry had that song been widely heard.
