Title:
"Betty Co-Ed" (Rudy Vallee, 1931)
Description:
Betty Boop's inspiration? There's some connection (see note below) but the flapper-fatale and the poodle-girl soon parted cartoon company. This rah-rah romance is up there with the Maine Stein & the Yale Whiffenpoof songs among college anthems put in the national hit parade by Rudy and the Yankees. Music by J. Paul Fogarty; words by Rudy himself: BETTY CO-ED Flirtation is an art with Betty Co-ed, Her station quite depends upon her charms, She gets the men in rushes by well-cultivated blushes And she's happy with a fellow on each arm! Betty Co-ed has lips of red for Harvard, Betty Co-ed has eyes of Yale's deep blue, Betty Co-ed's a golden head for Princeton, Her dress I guess is black for old Purdue! Betty Co-ed's a smile for Pennsylvania, Her heart is Dartmouth's treasure, so 'tis said, Betty Co-ed is loved by every college boy, But I'm the one who's loved by Betty Co-ed! She made a wreck of Carnegie Tech and all of its engineers; She did the same at old Notre Dame, her line is good for years; Roguish eyes, telling lies, breathing sighs! Betty Co-ed has lips of red for Cornell, Betty Co-ed has eyes of Navy blue, Betty Co-ed's a golden head for Amherst, Her dress, I guess, is white for Georgia, too! Betty Co-ed's a smile for old Northwestern, Her heart is Texas's treasure, so 'tis said, Betty Co-ed is loved by every college boy, But I'm the one who's loved by Betty Co-ed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...Although some claim that Betty's first name was established in the 1931 Screen Songs cartoon Betty Co-ed, this "Betty" was, in truth, an entirely different character. Though the song itself may have led to Betty's eventual christening, any references to Betty Co-ed as a Betty Boop vehicle have been made in error. (The official Betty Boop website describes the titular character as a "prototype" of Betty.) In all, there were at least 12 Screen Songs cartoons that featured either Betty Boop or a similar character... http://www.answers.com/topic/betty-boop?cat=entertainment
