Old Time Recording

I listened to "You Rascal You" by Clarence Williams from 1931 on the Library of Congress website. The piano is the only musical accompanyment, and it is fairly faint in the background. Clarence William's voice is a little raspy, but not due to him but due to the recording. For being from 1931 though, this recording is pretty authentic and clear. The lyrics of this song are very repetitive, because he says "you rascal you" probably 25-30 times in 3 minutes. I found the meaning of the song to be quite funny considering the upbeat feel to it. He is talking to the man who hit on or cheated with his wife, saying he is going to kill him just for fun, but the song sounds happy. He is obviously angry and upset, but the piano and the pitch of his voice sure don't show it.
