Added, thank you.
Adjusted. Thanks.

Both versions are here Joop, I think they're alright.
The first on UK Columbia (BT) and the second on Decca (PT).
Looks good. Thanks!
Adjusted.
The 1935 version was released in the CD era ultimately:

This version on YT. Isn't this an "adaptation" with new lyrics btw?
Also likewise, in 1979, the Manhattan Transfer recorded a cover-version
with completely new lyrics.
"Self-released in July 2007 and in February 2008 re-released through the Jagjaguwar label with a new album cover. In May 2008, 4AD picked the album up for release in the UK and Europe."
Don't know if this can be varified somewhere...
The HB recordings (film & single) are very different. I have both versions as mp3. But what the first recorded would be, I have no idea.
Changed the writer credits.
