THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

HAROLD ARLEN

HERE COME THE WAVES

Harold and Johnny Mercer drove down the street to Paramount to write a score for Bing Crosby and Betty Hutton. Being 1944, this was yet another service film.

”ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE”

Work on the movie had reached the point where inventing just one more song seemed a major impossibility. The guys decided to freshen their perspective by taking a drive through west Los Angeles while discussing their work. Johnny asked Harold, “How does that little thing go I've heard you humming – the spiritual?” Harold hummed the tune, and Johnny then sang, “You’ve got to ac-cen-tuate the positive.” Harold realized that Johnny was on to something. By the time they got back to the studio, they had pretty much completed the song. “Accentuate the Positive” was interpolated into the movie and became a tremendous hit, scoring an Oscar nomination. The film bombed with the critics but became a huge financial success for Paramount.

Bing sang it with Sonny Tufts as a duet in the movie.

The hit version teamed Bing with the Andrews Sisters. Today both acts would be accused of cultural appropriation in their interpretation.

When Sharks Won’t Bite

Bible in a Year : Job 14–16; Acts 9:22–43

One who is full loathes honey from the comb. Proverbs 27:7 My children were thrilled, but I felt uneasy. During a vacation, we visited an aquarium where people could pet small sharks kept in a special tank. When I asked the attendant if the creatures ever snapped at fingers, she explained that the sharks had recently been fed and then given extra food. They wouldn’t bite because they weren’t hungry.

What I learned about shark petting makes sense according to a proverb: “One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet” (Proverbs 27:7). Hunger—that sense of inner emptiness—can weaken our discernment as we make decisions. It convinces us that it’s okay to settle for anything that fills us up, even if it causes us to take a bite out of someone.

God wants more for us than a life lived at the mercy of our appetites. He wants us to be filled with Christ’s love so that everything we do flows from the peace and stability He provides. The constant awareness that we’re unconditionally loved gives us confidence. It enables us to be selective as we consider the “sweet” things in life—achievements, possessions, and relationships.

Only a relationship with Jesus gives true satisfaction. May we grasp His incredible love for us so we can be “filled to the measure [with] all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19) for our sake—and the sake of others.

Reflect & Pray

What are you most hungry for in life? Why does Jesus fulfill you in a way that nothing else can?

Those who see Jesus as the Bread of Life will never be hungry.

Everybody knew what a monster this song would be, and they piled into the recording studio to take advantage of it. If you think Bing was engaging in cultural appropriation, listen to how the song’s lyricist handles it. He brings the Savannah gospel sound to disk.

HERE COME THE WAVES: ”ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE”

This is one of many versions our GI’s listened to. This one shows some real artistry. Imogene Lynn handles vocal duties. At the two minute mark, Artie comes in with his clarinet, and it really takes off.

Purple people eater.

The Purple People Eater had quite a series of adventures.

He met the Witch Doctor, then terrorized Bo Diddley but was, in turn, terrorized by a gorilla. At Christmas time, he saved Santa Claus from Sputnik. Meanwhile, his mother was frantically looking for him.

He also had a Cuban cousin who preferred cha-cha music, pantalones and Bacardi rum to rock and roll music, short shorts and tequila.
