@@turn_ontune_indrop_out This is from a 1950 film, but The Oceana Roll was written in 1911 by Roger Lewis and Lucien Denni. KZitem has a 1911 78 rpm recording by Eddie Morton. It is very much in the ragtime syncopated style of that era - very different from 1950s styling (and better). The Charleston song (another different style) came out 4 years later and the dance became popular till 1928 or so.

Thanks, Margot, for that insight into how Jane Powell executed her roles. True, she certainly didn’t have the career or exposure Debbie Reynolds had but she did bring a certain exuberance to her performances which is infectious. I love this clip for that reason! Interesting comments......thanks for sharing!

Some people here have compared Jane's version here with Ann Blyth's in 'Mildred Pierce.' That's Ann as Veda, runaway daughter of the Joan Crawford character, Mildred. Mildred finds Veda performing in a roadhouse in a kind of bare-midriff Dorothy Lamour outfit. Va-va-voom! The setting and performance are most bizarre. The roadhouse is supposed to be a low honky-tonk, with sailors hooting and whistling at her, but really it's a pretty decent place by early Noir standards. The song is truncated-just the verse and first chorus, with no 'Mr Jazz' bridge. But the very choice has always baffled me. Why THIS piano-bench ragtime-era hit? Public domain, maybe? Jane Powell sings it in the right place and era, with a full company, and you figure they all know the song from the gramophone record and piano music.

All very interesting, Margot. Thanks for sharing this info. with us. This clip has always been one of my favourites because of the 'joie de vivre' and total commitment of the artistes. Jane gives it all she's got and you feel her exuberance. Don't know much about Ann Blyth's version....I must look it up. Suffice it to say...you have given a good account here. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. Appreciated.

I really like Jane Powell. She didn't have lasting charisma because she always had to oversell, and there wasn't the aw-shucks coziness factor you got with little Debbie Reynolds here. But no one was a workhorse like Jane Powell. You could make Jane do the same number 30 times and she'd still do it with a forced smile on her face. This number is probably about 15 or 20. I envy Louis Calhern, sitting in the distance with no interaction whatsoever. Young Debbie probably didn't gaf, all she had to do was smile and dance a little, and sing a song about monkeys with some swish.
Sorry, Veda from "Mildred Pierce "knocks it out of the park but this version is quite good as well.

The best female version of this song ever was done by Teresa Brewer. Beatrice Kay had a pretty good handle on it too, but this rendition is way too clipped and stiff, like when a girl who only sings in church all her life suddenly tries to perform a dance-hall number.
