Out In An Automobile
Words by Vincent Bryan
Music by George Evans
Published 1905

Out in an automobile
in with the girl that you love
Riding at ease on the wings of the breeze,
Like birds in the blue sky above
Teach her to steer the machine
Get both her hands on the wheel
You kiss and you squeeze just as much as you please,
when you're out in an automobile



Football (1905)
A popular song from 1905, interpolated into the 1902 musical “The Wizard of Oz.” Words by Vincent Bryan. Music by Chas. Zimmerman.

Football, Football
That's the game for me
Break his hip, hip! hip hurrah
Kick him in the knee
Soak him on the five yard line
We must have 'em lame
Football, Football
It's a gentle game

The Standard Talking Machine Company was an American record label that was created in October 1901 and operated until March 1918. The Chicago, Illinois based company produced several models of phonographs from Columbia Records parts and issued single-sided and double-sided disc records from Columbia Records masters.[1] Despite the label name, the discs were not quite "Standard"; the spindle hole at the center of the discs was 9/16 inch, larger than the industry standard. This made the discs difficult to play on phonographs other than those marketed by the company.

Collins & Harlan, the team of Arthur Collins and Byron G. Harlan formed a popular comic duet between 1903 and 1926. They sang ragtime standards as well as what were known as "Coon songs" - music sung by white performers in a black dialect. Their material also employed many other stereotypes of the time including Irishmen and farmers. Fellow recording artist Billy Murray nicknamed them "The Half-Ton Duo" as both men were rather overweight. Collins and Harlan produced many number one hits with recordings of minstrel songs such as "My Gal Irene," "I Know Dat I'll be Happy Til I Die," "Who Do You Love," and "Down Among the Sugarcane." Their song "That Funny Jas Band from Dixieland," recorded November 8 of 1916, is among first recorded uses of the word "Jas," which eventually evolved from "jas," to "jass," to the current spelling "jazz."
