Top Tunes Sprinkled
With Foreign Songs
By GEORGE TUCKER
New York Wi I am always surprised when someone says, "Is
that a foreign aong? I never knew we imported songs."
Believe me, music publishers know all about foreign tongs.
The money they earn Jinglesv
like the brook that is never
done. Perhaps I can tell you
why.
The origin of popular tongs
ignores political labels. By any
other name a rose is as sweet.
The SO or 70 thousand songs
we copyright every year has
not cut down the rash of hits
from France, Italy, Czechoslo
vakia, Britian and South Amer
ica.
The public Is funny. It plays
around with many songs but has
love affairs with only a few.
These make the top tune polls.
And on every such list for 10
or 20 years we've had visitors
from overseas.
The smash tunes include
South of the Border," "Fren-
esi , "isle or Capri, " "Beer
Barrell Polka", "Moonlight Ma
donna", "Valencia", "I Kiss
Your Hand, Madam e", "Lili
Marlene", "Malaguena", "Gal
way Bay", Siboney", Bella, Bel-
Ma, Marie", and "Song of Long
Ago" all bell ringers from
abroad.
If you examine the current
top ten, you will find songs
from England, Switzerland, and
Ireland.
"Cruising Down the River" is
from two old maids in Eng
land. "Forever And Ever" h
adapted from the German "Fly
With Me to the Fatherlands".
"Galway Bay" is the product
of a professor at the Universi
ty of Dublin.
' The French, who spawn such
international favorites as "A
Little Love, A Little Kiss" and
"Madolon", recently gave
"La Vie en Rose," re-titled
"You're Too Dangerous, Cherie.
An old Russian waltz became
the basis of "The Loveliness of
You",
If "Be Mine" seems familiar
it goes back to the Spanish "La
Paloma".
Artie Shaw discovered "Fren
esi" and "Adois, Marquita Lin
da" in Mexico. "Siboney" and
Malaguent came from Cuba
The Czechs had a song they
sailed "Capri Fisherman". An
American took it to Berlin,
where an Englishman wrote new
lyrics for it. Another American
put it in an Italian movie and
thats why it's known in this
country as "Bella, Bella, Marie".
'Symphony" was a French
song picked up by American
GI'i during the war, and you
are familiar with what happen
ed to the German "Lili Marlene",
Another source of hit tunes
is the manuscript of old mas
ters. Lifting their stuff is called
raiding the classics.
For Instance, "Till the End of
Time" came straight from Cho
pin's "Polonaise"; "Our Love" is
out of Tschaikowsky't "Romeo
and Juliet Overture"; "My Rev
erie is from Debussy; "You are
My Song of Love" is Shubert s
unfinished symphony; and "The
Things You Left in My Heart"
is Drigo's "Serenade." There are
others. .
The answer to why so many
European songs became hits is
because their melodies run
around in your brain like pretty
girls. And we are a nation that
believes in romance.
Last Area of
Forest Sprayed
Spraying of the last area of
the budworm Infested Douglas
fir area near Oakride was start
ed Monday by the state forestry
department. This time only one
bi-plane and one helicopter are
used in the operation, which is
expected to be completed by
the latter part of the week.
At the same time that the new
area was started a preliminary
check was also being made on
the 155,000 acres sprayed
earlier at Springfield. In that
area tome sections showed a
84 per cent kill of the worm and
other sections it was 100 per
cent effective, which according
to the forestry department means
practically elimination of the in
festing insect.
Spraying of the area around
Oakridge, which is approxi
mately 10,000 acres, was delayed
because the spruce worm has to
be caught in the latter part of
the larva stage for the tpray
to be effective. The solution of
one pound of DDT per gal. of
oil is used in a ratio of a one
gallon unit per acre.
When the first area was spray
ed earlier this month 13 Sterman
bi-planes were used and four
helicopters. The bi-planet can
carry ISO gallons, while the
helicopters can carry 30 gal
lons. The helicopters are used
in the areas where there is no
landing field available.
To make the spray job ef
fective the planes must fly about
50 feet above the tree tops and
approximately 100 feet apart
Despite the risks involved there
were no fatal accidents during
the early spraying. One plane
did hook its tail in a tree and
had to have the damage repaired
and another hit a snag and re
quired repairs. Still another
plane ran out of gas and had to
land in an area where it had to
be disassembled before it could
be removed.
