Betty Hutton belts out "Old Man Mose" (video)

Oh, we missed the anniversary of Betty Hutton's death earlier in the month (March 11). To add to Irwin's list of Betty Hutton videos from last year, here's one of Betty's greatest musical triumphs: "Old Man Mose". See Betty smack herself in the face, threaten the orchestra, and get pushed to the floor several times. In 1939 this was good clean family entertainment!

I *love* the say she sings this song. Didn't Betty Hutton record the original version of "Blow a Fuse?" You know that song that Bjork did called "It's Oh So Quiet."
