Oriole Orchestra - Ah-Ha!, Fox Trot (Clare-Monaco) Vocal refrain by Mark Fisher,  Brunswick 1925 (USA)

NOTE: Not long ago, this song was presented here in a very hot rendition by Paul Whiteman's Orchestra  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_N_jVBAZSw . Now, it is played by another band, which alas had been nick-named as Oriole Orchestra. Unfortunately, my brain is too little to be able to decipher that code.  Let's enjoy this happy Jazz Age tune in spite of all, as well as a slideshow of the omnious &  vampy ladies of that era - who do not seem to be laughed at, at all... even the only man's grin at 2:55, shyly emitted by Conrad Veidt, looks somewhat spasmatic. Let me remind you, that it was Conrad Veidt - a German silent movies actor - who in 1928 in his film "The Man Who Laughs" invented the terrible "Joker's Laughter",  later used by all generations of horror movies eery clowns, including the "Batman".
