1938 - I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm - The Mills Brothers (I have no idea who these people are, so please don't ask).
Spoiler:
(do do-do do do do-do) (do do-do do do do-do) The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing But I can weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December Just watch those icicles form! Oh, what do I care if icicles form? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

I didn't think you were serious about wanting this! I'd better sticky it so that it's easy to find. What next? 1920s? I'd go 1970s before 1920s!

1939 - Over the Rainbow - Judy Garland
Spoiler:
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?

Hey, I've heard that song! So far it's my favorite pre-1955 song posted. Unfortunately it won't make my iPod. "In The Mood" is better than this and it's not on the iPod either...although it's very close...it might still get there - "The Entertainer" did!
Judy Garland is dead. Here's a tough one - find a 1930s (or earlier) song where anyone associated with the song isn't dead.
If Garland were still alive she'd be 85 so it is possible. She died at age 47 due to a drug overdose.
She was born in Grand Rapids....not our Grand Rapids!

1936 - Lazy River - Louis Prima
Spoiler:
Up a lazy river by the old mill run That lazy lazy river in the noon day sun Linger in the shade of a kind old tree Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me.
Up a lazy river where the robin's song Awakes a bright new mornin', we can roll along. Blue skies up above, Everyone's in love Up a lazy river, how happy you could be Up a lazy river with me.
I like lazy weather, I like lazy days Can't be blamed for havin' lazy ways Some ol' lazy river sleeps beside my door Whisperin' to the sunlit shore

It starts out alright, but then it gets stupid. That song has been recorded a hundred times, so there's probably a better version out there somewhere...

Ok, the other decades have reached at least three pages, so there's no reason why this one shouldn't.
1934 - Ragged But Right - Riley Puckett (I'm not 100% sure this is his version, but he originally recorded it in 1934).
Spoiler:
I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged* but right; Thief and a gamblin' man, drunk every night. I eat porterhouse steak three times a day for my board, That's more than any ordinary man can afford. I've got pretty little gals layin' 'round at my feet, Big electric fan to keep me cool when I sleep; I'm a ramblin' man, a gamblin' man, and Lord! Am I tight! I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right.
I left a pretty little gal layin' there on the floor Gave her all my love, and who could ask me for more? Gave her my last quarter just to buy her a drink, Showed her to the door, and then... What do you think? I said, "Go home to your mother, and tell her for me I'm hittin' the road just 'cause I want to be free. 'Cause I'm a ramblin' man, a gamblin' man, and Lord! Am I tight! I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right.

There's 5 more 30s songs. Surely there's some fans of 30s music out there. Brob and I are the only ones posting and we're yet to find a song we like! I'll give a big to these 5 songs!

I didn't even think to look up any Shirley Temple ones. Over the Rainbow is tolerable, but there is nothing special about this decade of music.

I think we're too narrow-minded! I mean if it was 1939 right now would we be saying "this music all sucks"?
This is the worst era so far though. I think the 1900s might be easier - ragtime music isn't bad. If you go back really far, some classical music is okay. I can listen to Fur Elise.

1932 - Tiger Rag - Art Tatum
I like the piano version better.
From wiki: Art Tatum made his formidable presence known throughout the jazz community with his 1932 recording of "Tiger Rag". This recording continues to inspire and terrify pianists around the world.
Although the other version is the Detroit Tigers version, I'll agree with you - this is better.
Call me crazy, but the piano is actually my favorite instrument. Guitarists and drummers get a lot of recognition, but I like a good piano. That said, I would never go listen to a concert pianist.
