Thread Name: Origins: Ta-Ra-Ra Boom-De-Ay
Subject: RE: Origins: Ta-Ra-Ra Boom-De-Ay
I distinctly remember when I was v small, mid-1930s, in London, my mother liked to sing, to the Verdi Donn'e'Mobile tune: 'Ta-ra-ra-boomdee-ay, This is my wedding day'. That seemed to be all she knew of it. But surely connected somewhere. Does this variant ring any bell with anybody else?

BTW the Lottie Collins tune seems to be down on DT — a pop·up appears saying the URL is inaccessible or some such. Can anything be done to rectify this?
