"I've Got A Sweet Tooth Bothering Me"
M. J. O'Connell
1916
Victor 18073
Song by Irving Berlin
"Take me to the dentist right away"
shouted little Johnny Jones one day.
"I've got a tooth that's hurting me,
and I simply can't delay."
In about an hour he was there, standing
right beside the dentist's chair.
And when they sat him inside,
to the dentist Johnny cried:
I've got a sweet tooth bothering me.
Pull it out! Pull it out! Pull it out!
It isn't candy or molasses. It isn't honey, jam,
or cake. But when a sweet young lady passes,
my tooth begins to ache like the dickens.
I don't use sugar at all in my coffee or my tea.
But when I meet Rosie, Flo or May,
my wisdom tooth says, "Keep away!"
But my sweet tooth starts bothering me.
Johnny hollered out, "There's no one home
in the second story of my dome except a
thousand ladies fair, and it's like a honeycomb.
Every night when I sit down to eat, first
I have my oysters, soup, and meat, and then
my favorite dessert is the rustle of a skirt."
Michael J. O'Connell did not use his full name on records but was identified as M. J. O'Connell.
The tenor made recordings for Victor, Columbia, Pathé, Rex, and Edison in the World War I era, beginning in 1916.
He also made anonymous Little Wonders.
The song most associated with O'Connell was "How Could Washington Be A Married Man And Never Tell A Lie," which the tenor recorded for both Victor (18192; issued in January 1917) and Columbia (A2127; also issued in January).
With this same comic song he made his Edison debut (Diamond Disc 50414; Blue Amberol 3086).
The January 1917 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "A new Blue Amberol artist of unusual ability has been secured in M.J. O'Connell, a concert tenor who is highly popular in New York City. Mr. O'Connell is a comparatively young man, but he has been connected with many musical organizations that won great success. He appeared in vaudeville with a number of quartets, and has done much concert and Lyceum work throughout the country. Mr. O'Connell has won such decided success in the metropolis that he is not making any more vaudeville tours or engaging in Lyceum work, but is permanently located in New York, where his engagements keep him continually busy."
Accompanied by Frank Banta on piano, he sings the comic "Piano Man," written by Irving Berlin and Ted Snyder, on Rex 5342.
He recorded Will Dillon's "I'll Wed the Girl I Left Behind" for Victor 18196, issued in February 1917, and "Come Out of the Kitchen, Mary Ann" along with "When Ragtime Rufus Rags the Humoresque," a song by Harry Ruby, for Victor 18221, issued in March. With Ada Jones he recorded "Some Sunday Morning" (Columbia A2330, 1917) and other numbers.
He cut duets with Jones for Rex using the name "Harry Dunning."
He was "Robert Denning" (similar to the "Dunning" name he had used on occasion for Rex) when he returned to Edison in 1922 after an absence of a few years.
