Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Arrangement for Vocal, Guitar and Piano by Michael Thomas Coull

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is a World War II jump blues song written by Don Raye and Hughie Prince, and was introduced by The Andrews Sisters in the 1941 Abbott and Costello comedy film Buck Privates.  

The Andrews Sisters’ Decca recording reached No. 6 on the U.S. pop singles chart in the spring of 1941 when the film was in release.  In 1942 Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost out to The Last Time I Saw Paris.

The song is ranked No. 6 on Songs of the Century.  

A classic jazz standard arranged for solo voice, guitar & piano that anyone will love to perform.  With that classic Andrew Sisters' style and a great boogie woogie piano accompaniment your audience will be tapping their feet along to the music!

Also available for SSA choir with piano accompaniment.

By The Andrews Sisters. By Aloysio Oliveira, Ervin Drake, and Zequinha Abreu. Arranged by Peet du Toit & Sam Harrill (Percussion). Traditional. 20 pages. Peet du Toit #1072461. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1495930).

Tico-Tico no fubá (rufous-collared sparrow in the cornmeal) is a Brazilian choro song written by Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. Its original title was Tico-Tico no farelo (sparrow in the bran), but since Brazilian guitarist Américo Jacomino Canhoto (1889–1928) had a work with the same title, Abreu's work was given its present name in 1931, and sometime afterward Aloysio de Oliveira wrote the original Portuguese lyrics.

Outside Brazil, the song reached its peak popularity in the 1940s, with successful recordings by Ethel Smith, The Andrews Sisters (with English-language lyrics by Ervin Drake), Carmen Miranda and others.

The Philip Jones Brass Ensemble (PJBE) arrangement and recording inspired me many years ago to also do something with this fantastic music.  Enjoy with me.
