T he so called "rap" song / dialog between the chick singer and Jackie Coogan's band in Coogan's club is not original to this film. I t was a part of black actor Stepin' Fetchit's vaudeville / night club stage routine, and performed in at least one of his appearances in a 30's or '40's "all black cast / race film".
shareREallY? To me it sounded a lot like Jack Kerouac material. Does anyone know the woman's name who recites the song?
shareIMDB has: Phillipa Fallon ... Poetess (uncredited)
shareCool, Thanks.
shareAnd J.I.'s "Columbus for the hep" sounded an awful lot like a Lord Buckley routine...
shareThe style also sounded a lot like Andy Griffith's version of Romeo & Juliet which he tells to Opie in an episode of his sitcom. It was a part of Griffith's stand-up act.

the more people I meet, the more I prefer the company of my cats
the more peeps I meet the more I desire their headless corpses. Nice thought.
