Thread Name: Lyr Req: Olga from the Volga
Subject: RE: lyr req: words to Olga From The Volga
But wait, there's more. You don't think I'd leave you with just that, do you? Take a look at this YouTube clip of Joan Davis singing "Olga from the Volga" in the 1937 Sonja Henje / Tyrone Power movie titled Thin Ice. I'm guessing this must be the song that was requested. It was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel. I don't have time to do a transcription now. Can anybody do the honors?
Also I found mention of a 1922 Cole Porter song titled "Olga (Come Back to the Volga).
....and there's a 1911 Broadway production titled Vera Violetta that has a song titled "Olga from the Volga" by Eysler/Hirsch/Gideon.
...then of course, there's this children's story titled "Olga from the Volga." I also found a page that spoke of "Olga from the Volga" porn movies, but I won't leave a link to that page because I don't know what it might leave on your computer (or mine)...
