You’ll Find Old Dixieland In France – Van and Schenck, 4.1 MB mp3 file.

When Tony Goes Over The Top – Van and Schenck, 4 MB mp3 File.

Ok, these files are the first to get the Warning! Potentially Racist Lyrics label. The first one, “You’ll Find Old Dixieland In France” is nothing special – a tune about how many people from the South are serving in the Army in WW I. The second one though… Wow… It’s about an Italian-American barber serving in the trenches. He’s obviously the hero of the song, but the nicknames they use for the guy are incredibly cringe-inducing.
