War Times ...a lot of people could understand, I suppose, by 1949 ! Fun on a dance with bayonet ! Without the words ... = family thing ! With the right old words... for service men only ! I don't know the name of this song, but I heard the words 50 years ago ... once is enough to remember the thing, : So, even in France (no TVs !), this song became famous just after the war by 1949/53. Here, in the movie, it is on a record (of old, maybe 78 rd) played 1945 in the Far Side of the Pacific Ocean.

Did you know the paroles of the Song ? Hot things, I suppose, like in a French version of old : WHO KNOWS ! Chutt !
