“How Do I Know It’s Sunday?” (1934)

Next up is the song “How Do I Know It’s Sunday?” from the 1934 Warner Brothers feature “Harold Teen.”

Things like this are always interesting to me in that we have a song that nobody remembers from a movie adaptation of a once-popular comic strip that nobody remembers starring an actor that nobody remembers!

I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but time marches on. The comic strip “Harold Teen” ran for forty years, which is quite a run, but those 40 years were 1919-1959 and 1959 was 63 years ago!

To add to the fun, here’s a version of the song by the fictitious Eliot Everett and his Orchestra on Bluebird Records:

Research shows that the “Eliot Everett” orchestra was actually led by Al Mitchell on this date, but who’s Al Mitchell?

At least vocalist Dick Robertson was real, if uncredited!
