My Dad, who was born in 1923, passed away on June 13. This song is said by some to be the most popular song of 1923.

May your father rest in peace.
I see America was strictly class in 1923 too.
Barney Google was a comic strip character. I’m sorry to report that Mrs. Google sued him for divorce.
Who’s the greatest lover that this country ever knew?
Who’s the man that Valentino takes his hat off to?
No, it isn’t Douglas Fairbanks that the ladies rave about;
When he arrives, who makes the wives chase all their husbands out?
Barney Google—with the goo-goo-googly eyes,
Barney Google—had a wife three times his size;
She sued Barney for divorce,
Now he’s sleeping with his horse!
Barney Google—with the goo-goo-googly eyes!
