Herman Kenin's "Persian Rug" 1928 vocalist Van Fleming .... all of them completely and utterly forgotten today, of course.
I like very much the arrangement in this musical composition.

Norman Long - "When Your Television Set Comes Home" - November, 1937.
"Now I'm very keen on wireless,
As most probably, you know!
I buy the latest gadgets to improve my radio!
With an eye upon the future,
There's one thing I've got to get!
So I've lately placed an order for a television set!
Everybody's got to do it!
And believe me, you won't rue it,
When your television set comes home!
When those old school tie announcers,
Take their place before the mic,
You'll see if they enjoy pronouncing English as they like.
The voice you fell in love with,
In the days that used to be,
You'll gaze upon her features,
And I wonder what you'll see?
A dear old thing of twenty stone,
And cross-eyed, possibly!
When your television set comes home!
It'll be fashion shows on Mondays,
Girls in frocks and girls in undies,
When your television set comes home!
Your house will be your cinema,
When films come on the set,
In darkened rooms you'll hold her hands,
And she'll have no regrets!
You'll train the maid to come down,
Shouting 'Chocolate cigarettes?'
When your television set comes home!
The comedian in his sitting will be quite a maskless bloke,
In a forest of blue pencils he'll make cracking little jokes.
The crooner can be halted in the midst of his career,
You simply turn the little knob, and watch him disappear!
Lots of lectures you'll be getting,
In a very novel setting,
When your television set comes home!
There's a bearded old professor,
With an univited cough,
You'll simply shout out 'Beaver!'
And switch the darn thing off!
Though screens are small,
You might observe a man of great renown,
A xylophone, a pair of sticks, that wander up and down!
You may only see his waistcoat, but you'll know it's Teddy Brown!
When your television set comes home!
It is clear that it is dawning,
Let this be a solemn warning,
When your television set comes home,
Remember as your favourites,
Appear upon the screen,
They've got yellow on their bocoes,
And their eyelids are all green!
Variety shows, the family all around the screen will bond,
But sometime, someone's bound to say: 'You must've got this wrong!
Good gracious, dear! How dreadful! Is that really Norman Long?
When your television set comes home!"

I ripped the music from Youtube as an MP3 onto my computer.
