This moldy oldie from the musty mausoleum by Tommy Dorsey dates back to the '30s. It features, in the words of a YouTube commenter, "The melancholy moan of the dark Depression years." This is the sort of lugubrious melodic maundering our parents and grandparents could relate to. Given the present economic downturn it seems apropos, though I rather doubt we are headed for anything like the Great Depression. I was put in mind of the song by the Twilight Zone episode "Static" which features it.
