So, Tell Me, What Do You Want?
Lucky Millinder and his orchestra sing the title song and dance with ladies in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
It's a lively little song, even if about three quarters of the lyrics are the title repeated over and again. Nice saxophone work.
