Subject: Do You Remember The Shimmy?
Hi!

An older friend spontaneously burst into a rhyming song, probably from the 1930s because of its references, and she was overcome with joy. I thought it would be nice to find her a recorded version of this ditty.

It begins with something like, "Do you remember the shimmy? Or who invented the [blankity-blank]?" It ends with something like, "because if you remember, then you are older than I . . . "

Any good guesses about what the title of this song is?

Thanks! Please email me directly: gunn0025@tc.umn.edu
