"The Lonely Goatherd" is a popular #showTune from the 1959 #RodgersAndHammerstein musical #TheSoundOfMusic. The song is well known for its examples of #yodeling, a part of the traditional music of the #AustrianAlps, where the musical is set. (#MariaVonTrapp, however, found the yodeling in the motion picture version of The Sound of Music rendition to be lacking in authenticity.)

`It began life in 1930 as a nine-bar phrase with the working title "There's No Stopping Me Now". Its title phrase "Nice work if you can get it" came from an English magazine. It was one of nine songs the #Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters.`

#EarwormOfTheDay #YipHarburg sends up America's #ClassWar c. 1947 in 'When the Idle Poor Become the Idle Rich,' including some slightly naughty wordplay. It's like "O noes #socialism! jk"
I was listening to this original #Broadway cast album in the last couple of weeks - very much a capsule of its time, natch; also charming and so tuneful -
