How dare you not mention the great Louis Armstrong when naming performers of this piece. His rendition, with Ella, is by far the best.

  • You could add it too! :) But you're right, that version definitely deserves a mention, and I've put it in the article. Feel free to add any more info you have. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind July 7, 2005 13:10 (UTC)

Are these lyrics under copyright? If the song was first recorded in 1945, they may well still be copyrighted.75.57.89.208 (talk) 22:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"frim fram sauce" with the "oss and fay" /ˈɒs.nˌfeɪ/ with "shifafa" /ʃəˈfɑːfə/ on the side.[edit]

I had never seen it as it appears (like I copied to the subject). I've always sung it as I want some flim-flam sauce with the hors d'oeuvre(y) with the alfalfa on the side. It takes a very ignorant, forced, funny pronunciation. It doesn't really matter how confusing it sounds. This I have learned somewhere, somehow (I really can't remember). There's a video where Nat King Cole sings it to a waiter in a bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=89&v=2B8FR6xMFRo Abraços, -rogerio- Tiogegeca (talk) 18:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm uncertain as to whether this counts as original research, and thus disqualified from being added to the article, but while the article offers multiple alternative spellings for the items being ordered, I have a copy of the original 1945 sheet music with the King Cole Trio pictured on the front cover, and in this version the order is for "THE FRIM FRAM SAUCE (all caps) with the aussen fay, with chafafa on the side." 38.124.105.80 (talk) 20:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
