"He Ain't Never Been in College" (1928)

Still in 1928, we have an anti-college song of sorts, "He Ain't Never Been in College" which was co-written by "Collegiate" co-writer Moe Jaffe, but this time with Clay Boland!



And Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks are back with Tom Stacks on the Brunswick:



Always fun!


A different take on the song (sung in the first person) comes from the popular duo of Billy Jones and Ernest Hare, known as the Happiness Boys, on Victor:




That's very fun also!

Interesting that the Boys change the preposition in the title from "in" to "to" which would sound better grammatically, but when the word "ain't" is in there, it's never going to sound college-level!
