From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Don't Bring Lulu" is a 1925 Dixieland jazz song.[1][2]
Background[edit]
Don't Bring Lulu was first published by Jerome H. Remick, based in Detroit and New York City, United States, in 1925.[3] It is the 63rd most covered song from 1925.[2] "Lulu" in the song is a 1920s flapper. The song lyrics include a reference to the traditional nursery rhyme and singing game for parties, "London Bridge Is Falling Down".
The sheet music is credited to Billy Rose, Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson. It was originally a novelty song and was often recorded by male singers in a comic style, including Billy Jones and Ernest Hare for example, with additional dialogue. A praised recording was the 1960 single by Dorothy Provine, backed by Whisper Song.[3] She also performed the song for the American television series The Roaring 20's, which was aired during 1960–1962.
