Virginia was a wonderful singer, actress, and entertainer.

She was a stunning woman

Classic 40's voice. What a talent.

Virginia O'Brien, what a beauty!

I LOVE this woman!

Yeah you and me both! What a great hairstyle she had to! I would love to be married to her or someone like her

Virginia O’Brien. Oh my. Still have a crush.

Virginia O'Brien's trademark comedic "gimmick" was to sing songs with practically no expression or movement. This is a reasonably typical example. When not singing, she "acted" normally.

An older friend recommended her to me. He used to go to her parties.

Ginny O'brien could always knock them dead,with her dead-pan expression in a singing session!

"Deadpan singing"...it's her 100th b-day today!

I love this number! From what I've read, it was initially meant for Betty Hutton, but the studio felt it would 'tarnish' her good gal image and pulled it. Thankfully Virginia got this!

I was just this second thinking hutton must have sung this at some point. I guess they both do comic songs with strong rhythmic elements.

WOW so good to see a clear print of this number!

Virginia o brien 💕

Stunning.

Love it.

I like her

Ann Sothern was originally set to sing this number, but she refused to do it because she thought it vulgar and in poor taste, so O'Brien stepped in.

Ann and the studio were trying to polish her image, lifting her out of the B-picture floozie category by giving her a Cole Porter show. Metro kept the Maisie series going in case the change did not click, but in 'Lady Be Good', the year before 'Panama Hattie', Ann had flounced around in furs and rubbed shoulders with socialites as Robert Young's song-lyricist spouse. In any case, Sothern and few others could put over smart lines the way Virginia did. Her unchanging expression did not distract audiences from the words.

Getting incredibly drunk is, according to this song, just lots of fun and something to brag about.

I think it's more about "confessing" what you did the night before and the inevitable regret you have the day after.

1942 wasn't **that** long after Prohibition ended, in 1933. Prohibition ended, and for the next 20 years at least Americans considered it virtually their patriotic duty to drink their eyeballs out, because at last they **could,** and as a statement against the forces of repression and intolerance. And because everyone was sick of the violent crime that Prohibition had ushered in. And the song is, of course, meant to be a joke.

Nice singer with a unique schtick, but docked a notch for being daughter of an L.A. policeman.
