06 Sep 03 - 02:18 PM (#1013985) Subject: RE: Who recorded 'Who Threw The Overalls...' From: GUEST The song is still under copyright protection, so the copy of 1937 on the Levy sheet music website as Box 1558, Item 244a, doesn't give a .GIF of it, nor does it say who recorded it. |

06 Sep 03 - 02:47 PM (#1013991) Subject: RE: Who recorded 'Who Threw The Overalls...' From: paddymac It's a humorous song I've heard many times. I think Mitch Miller might have recorded a version, but can't swear to it. It's one of those "Tin Pan Alley" songs that some purists seem to enjoy grousing about. I've even heard people complain about it being "anti-Irish" because of the way they perceive it to characterize folks of Irish descent. I can see that in some circumstances, but it's still a good bit of humor. Enjoy it, says I. |

Friends of mine used to do it every now and then but have not recorded it. The Bing Crosby version was the one I knew when I was growing up. Think we might have had a 78 of it. |

From: Malcolm Douglas You are seeing the file code (not garbage!) because the owners of the site haven't set the MIME types on their server properly, and your browser thinks it is looking at a text file. In order to play the file, right-click on the link on their page and select "copy shortcut" (IE) or "copy link location" (Netscape). Open a media player that can handle mp3. Windows Media will do it (I prefer Winamp); in WM, go to "file: URL" and paste the link into the box. You should now be able to play the music. |

27 Aug 10 - 02:44 AM (#2973770) Subject: George L Giefer 'Who Threw The Overalls ...' From: Genie I just found the sheet music for "Who Threw The Overalls In Mistress Murphy's Chowder". The songwriter was George L. Giefer but the sheet music has a copyright date of 2006, so it wasn't helpful for determining the original publication date. This sheet music was for Julie Andrews's recording of the song. |

My dad (John Henry Faulk) had this in his collection in the late 1950s. When I was finishing high school in another town then he let me keep it with me & enjoy it. "Hang On The Bell, Nellie" was also on that one, I think...Tw |

04 Apr 12 - 02:16 PM (#3333697) Subject: ... The Overalls In Mistress Murphy's Chowder From: Genie The song was written by Giefer in 1898 but You can hear Edward Favor's 1901 recording of the song here.. The lyrics he sings are "Mrs. Murphy" and "Tim Nolan," not "Mistress Murphy" and "McGinty." Apparently, Julie Andrews also recorded it. http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=MN0056424_U7. |

When I heard the song when I was growing up, it was Day singing it every so often on the Jack Benny show on radio. |
