Hit Parade Songs of 1941

"Additional info that I [Ted Killian] have for Al Killian (...Killion) was that, apparently,
he was from Alabama -- the Alabama Music Hall of Fame lists him as being born in Birmingham, AL.

"On another musical note ... the popular novelty song of 1940-41, "The Hut Sut Song (a Swedish Serenade)" was written by a Leo V. Killion ...along with Ted McMichael and Jack Owens. The tune became a huge hit and was popularized a great many of the big bands including the Freddy Martin Orchestra, Kay Kyser Orchestra, and the Horace Heidt Orchestra. In 1941, the 'Merry Macs' vocal group sang it in the movie "San Antonio Rose."

"Over a decade later, it was featured in the landmark World War II film "From Here to Eternity." Other Swing Era and wartime favorites as Dinah Shore and the Andrews Sisters also recorded the tune, which included such lyrics as "Hut Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and brawla, brawla sooit." Killion grew up in Minneapolis, MN, where he heard Swedish folk songs that he would spoof by writing nonsense lyrics to go along with the music.

"I think I first heard it sung by Dinah ...see the USA in your Chevrolet ... Shore in the' 50s -- probably on her TV show. The jaunty melody is something I even think most of us "boomers" would recognize if we heard it. The lyrics (which are quite silly) go something as follows:"

The Hut Sut Song (a Swedish Serenade)

In a town in Sweden by a stream so clear and cool
A boy would sit and fish and dream when he should have been in school.
Now, he couldn't read or write a word but happiness he found
In a little song he heard and here's how it would sound;

Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.

Now the Rawlson is a Swedish town, the rillerah is a stream.
The brawla is the boy and girl,
The Hut-Sut is their dream.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.
...Enjoy, Ted Killian

At MooPig, our WWII Veteran Dad would sing Hut-Sut when he was happy, in the mornings. Snapping fingers and doing some kind of step.. Cool to finally see what those words really are, for me. Now if I could find the tune...
