The song was written and first sung and recorded by English comedian/singer Billy Merson. Jolson used it and recorded it without permission and Merson never got a penny. He sued Jolson but failed on a technicality and was destituted.
I'm glad to see so many other people here because of the Simpsons. I just looked up the song Lumber Jill last night. Imagine, the Simpsons expanding someone's cultural knowledge. Lol
I'm approaching 30. I grew up on the 60's up to the 2000's (90's baby, 2000's kid). I don't care for the 20's, but I have a soft spot for Al Johnson. Been wanting to learn more about musical history.
List to me, while I tell you, of the Spaniard that blighted my life List to me, while I tell you, of the man who stole my future wife Twas at the bull fight that we met him He was doing his daring display And then while I went out for some nuts and a programme The dirty dog stole her away Ah yes, Ah no, for tonight there shall be dirty work When I catch Alfonso Spigoni the Toreador, tralala boom boom, tralala boom boom With one mighty swipe I will dislocate his bally jaw, tralala etc When I catch that bull fighter the blighter I'll kill He shall die, he shall die, he shall die tildlyee itie tie tie tie tie tie tie He shall die, he shall die... ie For I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion when I catch him bending tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I’m just here because of Mr. Burns.

Fred Kranepool
I cackled when I saw that Mr. Burns loves to sing Al Jolson

Cheers, Fred Cranepol!
Who else was brought here by The Simpsons?
I did, but I forgot what I saw it in in the first place😂
Me lol
That would be me
Catherine Cookson ( the English novelist ) mentions the song in Our Kate p. 48.. No wonder it’ s in the Simpsons …
Simpsons brought me here.
Me too 😂😂

I came across this song by chance while reading Our Kate by Catherine Cookson (page 48 ). I’ll have to watch The Simpsons now …
Excellent Mr. Kranepool excellent..

“I was saying Boo-urns.”
We need the David Harbour rendition!
List to me, while I tell you, of the Spaniard that blighted my life
List to me, while I tell you, of the man who stole my future wife
Twas at the bull fight that we met him
He was doing his daring display
And then while I went out for some nuts and a programme
The dirty dog stole her away
Ah yes, Ah no, for tonight there shall be dirty work
When I catch Alfonso Spigoni the Toreador, tralala boom boom, tralala boom boom
With one mighty swipe I will dislocate his bally jaw, tralala etc
When I catch that bull fighter the blighter I'll kill
He shall die, he shall die, he shall die tildlyee itie tie tie tie tie tie tie
He shall die, he shall die... ie
For I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion when I catch him bending tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
🙏 excellent -Mr Burns
Mr. Burns: Engage karaoke mode.
Jolson is delightful, but even better is Jolson and Bing Crosby doing this as a mock bel canto duet.
The English novelist Catherine Cookson mentions this song in Our Kate on page 48. Her uncle would sing it in about 1920
I love the fact that this song is real.
Yep, Best mr Burns!
This song led me to watching "The Simpsons."
Al Jolson to The Simpson’s: Please for the love of God, just let me Rest In Peace!
karaoke mode for Mr. Burns
If you were a real Englishman you'd like the video. Only 62 doesn't do this glorious song justice.
I can't believe this exists I thought this was a joke LOL
i just knew that this song had to be real. Honestly, i'm a little saddened that it is.
great thanks
father brown!!!
Simpsons, the influence of culture on a people.
Montgomery Burns sent me here.
The Simpsons brought me here.
Mr.Burns
Thank you simpsons from bringing me here
Doh!
Which version is this ? It does not sound like the original 1913 Victor. Was this one recorded later maybe by Columbia ?
Victrolaman
*TURN ON CC* 0:30 and while I went out for some peanuts... wait a minute...
Who knew?
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for that 😜 ….. they actually continue to be ridiculous …
Who is "Mr Burns" ?
"Spigoni" it's not a Spanish surname... It's an Italian surname :S
If it's on The Simpsons then you know it's real and a fact
@1926VictorCredenza Thanks, at what speed were these 1913 Victors originally recorded ?
Victrolaman
