Vaudeville, Red-Hot and Blue

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Marilyn Middleton Pollock , accompanied by the Chicago Hoods, brings the final tales of the women who sang for that popular American entertainment known as Vaudeville. She reveals the shameless use of double-entendre to disguise the true meaning of lyrics - and introduces evidence of this with songs such as "I've Got Ford
Engine Movements in My Hips", "Good Old Wagon" and "You've Got the Right Key in the Wrong Keyhole". Producer Stuart Hobday
