The song "Happy Days Are Here Again" copyrighted in 1929 by Milton Ager (music) and Jack Yellen (lyrics) has been used many times in American history. Originally it was used in the film "Chasing Rainbows" as a celebration song for the Armistice following the Great War. That is now more than 100 years in the past. The end of the "Spanish Flu" must have been celebrated around the same time.
In 1932 the song was again used to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition in the US. It was also used as a campaign song for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's successful presidential campaign. It still remains an American folk standard, and Americans have many reasons to continue singing it. We hope the end of the Covid-19 Pandemic will be one of them.
