I had never heard the term "Schnitzelbank" before your post ... but looked it up. Thanks for sharing this ... I learned something new!

This is very odd -- a fusion of Yankee Doodle and Schnitzelbank.

William Frawley is f-ing awsome! Since I heard this I cant get this song out of my head

Excellent propaganda piece here. Go United States! This is nice and it really shows off Mr. Frawley's many talents. Being a vaudevillian he was used to doing a "one man show" and this one is very catchy and will stick with you.

He was fifty five, add up the numbers again. Ten years later, Lucy was apprehensive about hiring Frawley for her pet project, because of his drinking. She definitely wouldn't have used him if he'd been seventy five, especially since Vivian Vance was only thirty nine. Your calculating would have also made him eighty on the last Lucy shows, and eighty eight, as opposed to seventy eight, when he did his last MY THREE SONS. It's a phenomenal clip, just the same.

Hi, Just this Sunday, 2/8/2008, I purchased an original 16mm film print of this Soundie. If THIS song doesn't make you sing along, tap your foot or step in time (and give you a profound sense of Patriotism), then NOTHING will! Thank you, Professor Frawley! God Bless America!

Are you suggesting that Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo should have been left to tyrannical ways? The U.S. and it's allies fought the spread of tyranny and now those countries are democracies, more or less. Yes, then we had the balls to fight for freedom ... not just ours, but for millions of others worldwild.

Don't forget those b-lls belonged to young men who had them blown off in the wars you're so rah-rah about. Will you put on a uniform and go to Iraq, sir? Woops, wait, the terrorists are in Afghanistan and Pakistan, sorry.

Yeah man! We won that war!
