Jack Selig Yellen (Jacek Jeleń; July 6, 1892 – April 17, 1991) was an American lyricist and screenwriter. He is best remembered for writing the lyrics to the songs "Happy Days Are Here Again", which was used by Franklin Roosevelt as the theme song for his successful 1932 presidential campaign, and "Ain't She Sweet", a Tin Pan Alley standard.
Born in Poland, Yellen emigrated with his family to the United States when he was five years old. The oldest of seven children, he was raised in Buffalo, New York and began writing songs in high school. He graduated with honors from the University of Michigan in 1913 where he was a member of the Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. After graduating he became a reporter for the Buffalo Courier, continuing to write songs on the side.
Yellen's first collaborator on a song was George L. Cobb, with whom he wrote a number of Dixie songs including "Alabama Jubilee", "Are You From Dixie?", and "All Aboard for Dixieland". He is best remembered for his collaboration with composer Milton Ager. He and Ager entered the music publishing business as part owners of the Ager-Yellen-Bernstein Music Company. Yellen also worked with many other composers such as Sammy Fain and Harold Arlen.
Tommi Zender (guitar and vocals) and Christie Miller (clarinet) tame the 1924 song "Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now)". Of course, we know it via Van Halen... clarinet arrangement by Jan Van Halen (Ed’s dad).
Arr. stagwolf ~~~~~~~~~ fun to play quick´n easy.. check the song details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain%27t_She_Sweet This song was first recorded in 1927 as a piano tune by Frank Banta.
The music was composed by Milton Ager and the lyrics came from Jack Yellen. The song appeared in the film "King Of Jazz" (1930) with the Paul Whiteman orchestra. There´s also a incredible dancing scene with Al "Rubber Legs" Norman. This is my arrangement for piano of this famous jazz song. Enjoy! http://www.kieferorthopaedie-strubel.de

Whispering Jack Smith sings "Glad Rag Doll" on Victor 21882, recorded on February 2, 1929. The song is by Milton Ager, Jack Yellen, and Dan Dougherty. All dolled up in your glad rags, But tomorrow may turn to sad rags, And they call you Glad Rag Doll! I know that you're admired, I know that you're desired But only by the fellows who soon grow tired, My poor little Glad Rag Doll! You're just a pretty little toy the boys like to play with, You're not the kind that they choose to grow old and grey with! Now don't you make this, this the end dear, It's never too late to make amends dear, My poor little Glad Rag Doll! You're just a pretty little toy the boys like to play with, You're not the kind They have on their mind, You're just a toy for them today, So listen to the things I say! Now don...
Whispering Jack Smith sings "Loud Speakin' Papa (You'd Better Speak Easy To Me) ." This was recorded on September 21, 1925, in New York City. Lew Pollack is the composer, Jack Yellen lyricist. Jack Smith sings to the piano accompaniment of the song's composer, Lew Pollack. I enjoy the recordings of Whispering Jack Smith--the haunting quality of his voice in sentimental tunes, the humor he conveys in comic songs, his choice of material during a Golden Age of songwriting, the tasteful accompaniments to his voice (he often provides his own piano accompaniment, and his playing is deft). The crooner's first discs were marketed in late 1925, "The Whispering Baritone" enjoying popularity from that time until 1929 or so. His records sold well for four years, but sales declined dramatically w...

Nat Shilkret and the Victor Orchestra "Ain't She Sweet" on Victor 20508, recorded on March 10, 1927, vocal by Franklyn Baur. This classic is by Jack Yellen (lyrics) and Milton Ager (music). Was the song really inspired by Ager's daughter Shana? That's been reported. Who knows? I distrust most show-biz legends. Now, ain't she sweet? See her coming down the street! Now I ask you very confidentially, "Ain't she sweet?" Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice. Now I ask you very confidentially, "Ain't she nice?" Just cast an eye in her direction. Oh, me--oh, my! Ain't that perfection? I repeat: now don't you think that's kind of neat? And I ask you very confidentially: "Ain't that baby nice?" Nathaniel Shilkret, born on December 25, 1889, shaped the musical sound of the Victor...

Diver Down is the fifth studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1982. It spent 65 weeks on the album chart in the United States and had, by 1998, sold four million copies in the US. he album cover artwork displays the "diver down" flag used in many US jurisdictions (which indicates a SCUBA diver is currently submerged in the area).[1] Asked about the cover in a 1982 interview with Sylvie Simmons (Sounds, June 23, 1982), David Lee Roth said it was meant to imply that "there was something going on that's not apparent to your eyes. You put up the red flag with the white slash. Well, a lot of people approach Van Halen as sort of the abyss. It means, it's not immediately apparent to your eyes what is going on underneath the surface." The back cover of the album features a...

blame it on la lanne
when something goes wrong
that sweatsuited scapegoat
for the exercising bomb
put the blame on jack la lanne
he's our man
my lawn turned yellow
my goldfish died
i squirted some ben-gay
right in my eye
he's the fucking cause
that sweatsuited scapegoat
with the atomic sock
when he exercises me
i know he doesn't shower
when i see him beatin' meat
