tribute song for comedian Andy Kaufman got this elegant, old-fashioned black-and-white clip that is good to look at it, doesn't reflect much about Kaufman (except for some footage of him in the background) but there's a life of its own that doesn't affect the viewer in negative ways.

In Oliver Hardy style of course! April, January, June or July turns to January, April, June or July. Oliver Hardy put his own little twist into the song with reference to the earlier version of April, January, June or July. Ruth Etting sang this in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1931 with her own twist, with the chorus changed to January, February, June or July and the first and last verse were removed. It's interesting to note that the first version of this song's chorus actually was written: Since April, January, June or July, not January, February, June or July. And, Oh, Shine On, Shine On, Harvest Moon was an instant overnight hit. The song first made its claim to fame when Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth appeared in the elaborate Broadway theatrical production of the Follies, which opened in New York City on June 15, 1908.
