"K-K-K-Katy" was a popular World War I-era song written by Geoffrey O'Hara in 1917 and published in 1918. The sheet music advertised it as "The Sensational Stammering Song Success Sung by the Soldiers and Sailors", as well as "The Sensational New Stammering Song" The song tells the story of Jimmy, a young soldier "brave and bold" who stuttered when he tried to speak to girls. Finally he managed to talk to Katy, the "maid with hair of gold". The chorus is what he spoke: ==Early performances and commercial success== "K-K-K-Katy" was a top 20 song from May 1918 to January 1919 and was number 1 from July to September.〔Paas, John Roger 2014.

Eugene Buckley also recorded a version of the song.〔 The sheet music was heavily reprinted.〔 The song made a comeback during World War II, when songs from World War I became popular at military training camps. "K-K-K-Katy" was one of many songs brought to the front by officers who had heard this song while on leave in England. Older songs such as "K-K-K-Katy" were often preferred over modern songs. The song was covered by Mel Blanc in his Porky Pig voice 1949, with some vocalists backing him. The song can be heard on the compilation album ''Mel Blanc: The Man of 1000 Voices'' 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「K-K-K-Katy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
