There's A Lot Of Spooning Going On
Here's a Fleischer Screen Song from its peak period covering the sentimental song. It begins with that old devil Moon observing courting couples and having a good laugh at them, enraging them into throwing brickbats; dodging them causes the Moon to chage ito a bouncing ball, and the audience is invited to sing along.
The song was written by Gus Edwards, with lyrics by. Edward Madden. It was introduced in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1909, and was an immediate hit, with popular recordings by Billy Murray, Ada Jones and the ever-popular Peerless Quartet. The simplicity of its rhymes has long made it a subject for mockery, but has also contributed to its survival.
