Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Soundies' were 3-minute musical films viewed on Panoram machines in bars and arcades — essentially 1940s MTV before TV was widespread.
This was one of dozens of anti-Hitler novelty songs during WWII, but few survived with this level of gleeful morbidity intact.
