Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay - sung by Lottie Collins
" Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" is a vaudeville and music hall song. The songs first known public performance was in Henry J. Sayers 1891 revue Tuxedo, which was performed in Boston, Massachusetts. The song became widely known in the version sung by Lottie Collins (1865-1910) in London music halls in 1892 (as shown in this drawing by Phil May of the same year). She would sing the first verse demurely and then launch into the chorus and an uninhibited and exhausting skirt dance with high kicks (especially on the word " BOOM" ) that exposed her stockings held up by sparkling garters, and bare thighs. At the height of the craze, Collins was performing the song five times nightly at different venues in London !!! Date: 1892

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary English singer and dancer, Lottie Collins, in the midst of her iconic performance of 'Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay' in 1892. The song, which first gained popularity in the United States through Henry J. Sayers' 1891 revue 'Tuxedo,' became a global sensation when Collins brought it to the London music halls. In this rendition, she can be seen demurely singing the first verse before launching into an uninhibited and exhausting skirt dance, characterized by high kicks that exposed her stockings held up by sparkling garters and bare thighs. The chorus, with its emphasis on the word 'BOOM,' became a crowd favorite, and Collins performed the song an astonishing five times nightly at different venues in London during the height of the craze. This drawing by Phil May captures the essence of Collins' solo act, which became synonymous with the naughty nineties and helped to define the era of vaudeville and music hall entertainment.
