What's really interesting is that almost nobody has heard of the depression following the stock market crash in 1920.

The hard times were reflected in popular songs. These were some of the top hits at the time.

• Ain't We Got Fun?--Billy Jones (1921)

• Look for the Silver Lining--Marion Harris (1921)

• Second-Hand Rose--Vaughn De Leath (1921)

• Make Believe--Nora Bayes (1921)

The Depression You've Never Heard Of: 1920-1921

Landlord's mad and getting madder,
Ain't we got fun?
Times are bad and getting badder,
Still we have fun.
There's nothing surer,
The rich get rich and the poor get laid off...
I've spent my salary, and the income tax is going to break us.
When the snow falls, we'll eat snowballs.
Ain't we got fun!

--From Ain't We Got Fun?
