Monroe sang with some of the "Big Bands" of the '40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.
Let's Get Lost
Vaughn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And if they think we're rather rude
We'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood
Let's defrost, in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed, off everybody's list
We'll tell the world that we have found each other
Darling, let's get lost.
The lyrics to Vaughn Monroe's song "Let's Get Lost" express a desire for two people to escape from the world around them and find solace in each other's arms. The opening line "Let's get lost, lost in each other's arms" signifies a strong desire for intimacy and connection. The use of the word "lost" implies a certain level of abandon, suggesting that the two people are willing to give themselves up completely to each other. The next line "Let's get lost, let them send out alarms" emphasizes the radical nature of their desire, implying that their love is so all-consuming that it might be seen as a threat to others.
The lines "And if they think we're rather rude/We'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood" reveal a rebellious spirit that is unapologetic about its passion. The couple does not care what others think of them, and are willing to endure criticism in order to pursue their love. The lines "Let's defrost, in a romantic mist/Let's get crossed, off everybody's list" further emphasize the couple's desire for seclusion and intimacy. They want to escape the world entirely, and enjoy each other's company without any interference or distractions. Finally, the last line "We'll tell the world that we have found each other/Darling, let's get lost" is a declaration of love and commitment. They have found each other, and nothing can come between them.

Good to hear a Vaughn Monroe that isn't "Ghost Riders in the Sky."

When was the Petrillo ban...?

Check out wikipedia article musicians' strike 1942-1944 for details.
Chris Town
It is obvious that Petrillo was under the control of the mob but by sticking together and not being intimidated the musicians finally won and the ban finished.
