The Laughing Policeman (song)
"The Laughing Policeman" is a music hall song by Charles Jolly, the pseudonym of Charles Penrose.
==The song==
In June 1922, Penrose made the first recording of this song, which was released on Regal Records G-7816. The version more usually heard was recorded on 22 April 1926 and released on Columbia Records 4014 and later FB 1184.〔Brian Rust ''British Music Hall on Record'', 1979〕 The composition of the song is officially credited to his wife Mabel under the pseudonym "Billie Grey"; however, the music and melody are taken from ''The Laughing Song'' by George W. Johnson which was originally recorded in the 1890s.〔See this (Archive.org collection of George W. Johnson's music ). Included are four different (1898–1902) recordings of ''The Laughing Song''. Also included in the archive is a later version of ''The Whistling Coon'', (written in 1878 by Sam Devere ) ((listen here ) for Johnson's 1891 version). This song was originally recorded in 1890 by Johnson, and on the back of its success, he derived ''The Laughing Song''.〕 The Penroses wrote numerous other laughing songs (''The Laughing Major'', ''Curate'', ''Steeplechaser'', ''Typist'', ''Lover'', etc), but only "The Laughing Policeman" is remembered today, having sold over a million copies. Its popularity continued into the 1970s, as it was a frequently requested recording on the BBC Radio 1 show ''Junior Choice''. It even had a dance mix made of it, which was released on a 10 inch 45rpm disc, resembling an old-style 78rpm record, with the original version on the other side.
Stikkan Anderson gave the song lyrics in Swedish, as "Den skrattande polisen" ("the laughing police officer"), which was recorded and released in 1955 by Ove Flodin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Svensk mediedatabas )〕
