This tune was used as the basis for "The Strawberry Blonde" (1941) with James Cagney, Olivia DeHaviland, Jack Carson, and Rita Hayworth. It was recorded by the Jesters on Decca at the time, backed by another oldie "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean" which had be resurrected for "Ziegfeld Girl", also 1941 with James Stewart, Judy Garland, and Rita Hayworth. Strawberry Blonde here: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0034236 Casey's brain was loaded with passion, and the "poor girl" like any "good" girl in 1895 would have shaken "with alarm". Or, at least pretended to! ;-)
