78s to count empty pop bottles by --
First up, Noel Coward in 1940, with his jaunty ode to the brave dads of the Home Guard, "Could You Please Oblige Us With a Bren Gun?"
Coming next, Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra in 1934 with vocals by Ken Darby and Ramona on "A Picture of Me Without You," one of Cole Porter's lesser-known "list songs." "Picture Barbara Hutton without a nickel, picture poor Mr. Heinz, my dear, without a pickle! Picture Ogden Nash without a rhyme, picture Mr. Bulova without the time!" And so on and on.
