00:22HORRIBLE HISTORIES
00:27Horrible Histories presents The Roaring 1920s
00:42Roaring 20s, oh what is in store
00:46First let me tell you what has gone before
00:50I'm all ears
00:52New world orders, falling dynasties
00:56New chapters for the Russians and Chinese
00:59Sounds like the bee's knees
01:01In Mexico and Europe revolution
01:05Empires crumbling right before your eyes
01:09What a hullabaloo
01:11Independence seemed like the solution
01:15Rulers, they were fleeing for their lives
01:19What's a king and queen to do?
01:21Einstein's theory
01:24The Titanic too
01:26Unthinkable
01:27Turned out that wasn't true
01:29But look on the bright side
01:31Great war over
01:33No more Spanish flu
01:36Gal's got the vote
01:37But there's still more to do
01:39I gotta wait till I'm thirty
01:41It wasn't just a tale of mass destruction
01:46New inventions, there were quite a few
01:49Ain't this the cat's pajamas?
01:51Motor cars went into mass production
01:56Dishwashers and vacuum cleaners
01:58Two
01:59Oh
02:00Boop boop boop boop
02:01A new decade
02:03Twenties
02:04Here we come
02:05An era of peace
02:07And optimism
02:09Snakes can only get better
02:11Best foot forward
02:13Ninety-tens can say farewell
02:15The roaring twenties
02:17Are gonna be swell
02:19Yes, we're living it up
02:24100 years ago
02:26Welcome to the 1920s
02:29One of the greatest ever eras of change
02:32Here at the start of the 20s
02:34Everyone is full of hope for the world
02:36The First World War and the Spanish flu pandemic
02:39Are finally over
02:40And normal life can start again
02:43One group of rich youngsters
02:45Have even dedicated themselves to having fun
02:49They're racing cars
02:51Throwing parties
02:52Dressing up
02:53And generally having the best time of their lives
02:57Read all about it
02:58The outrageous young posh people who are shocking the nation
03:01And who the papers are calling the bright young things
03:04Oh, I don't know why the papers are so obsessed with our divine little treasure hunt Zeta
03:10You wouldn't think that hiding sweet little clues around the city for our friends to find
03:14Would be of such interest
03:16Oh, car!
03:17Car!
03:18Oh, the police car!
03:21There's dozens of the chaps right now chasing after us
03:25Do we, sir?
03:29Want to break into the Hobus factory and leave a clue in a loaf of bread?
03:32Do I?
03:34Drive on, sister!
03:36And would you believe it?
03:38Baron's daughter caught speeding!
03:39Darling, I didn't know there were any speed limits
03:41You surely apply to people as posh as me
03:44They apply to everyone
03:46And don't think we won't look into where all those jewels came from
03:49Oh, my daddy gave me them, of course
03:51Some kind of Baron, is he?
03:53Yes, Baron Ellington, is that
03:55Oh, the other one
03:57Aristocratic young ladies behave properly
03:59Everybody knows that
04:00Not anymore, darling
04:01It's the modern age
04:03Anything goes
04:04Now, take one more photo, will you sweetie?
04:06The papers will adore it
04:08There's also exclusive photos from the bright young thing's latest party
04:12What do I look like?
04:13Someone who's not rich?
04:14Ha, ha, ha
04:15See ya
04:16Good to see you
04:18Wow
04:19Relax, old chad
04:22This is not a normal boring party thrown by your parents
04:25This is a party thrown by me, Stephen Tennant
04:28And I know how to have fun
04:31We're young
04:32We're rich
04:33There's no war on
04:34And it's a wild party
04:35A wild wild west party, to be more specific
04:37Jabal! Jabal!
04:39You're wearing make-up
04:40Of course I am
04:41It's 1920s
04:43Rules don't exist
04:44At least not for us rich youngsters
04:46We can wear whatever we want
04:49There you go
04:50It's a cowboy party, after all
04:52But then what does he come as?
04:53Oh, don't mind him
04:54That's Viscount Chiddingly Right
04:57He just hasn't gone home since last week's baby party
05:00Okay, everyone
05:01Smile
05:02Read all about the bright young things
05:05Oh, look
05:06I'm in the paper
05:08Mummy will be so proud
05:13The 20s are a time of exploration and discovery
05:17British archaeologist Howard Carter
05:19Has found and opened the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamu
05:24It's full of wonderful treasures
05:26But also contains a powerful deadly curse that strikes all those who go inside
05:32Or at least, that's what some people think
05:40Hello there
05:41I'm Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
05:44Writer and creator of Sherlock Holmes
05:48And welcome to
05:50Ghosts definitely exist
05:55This week on Ghosts definitely exist
05:59The curse of
06:00The mummy
06:02What's that darling?
06:03Not you mummy
06:04Thank you mummy
06:06In 1923
06:07Howard Carter
06:08His financial backer Lord Carnarvon
06:10And Carnarvon's daughter Evelyn
06:12Entered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun
06:15Unleashing
06:16The curse of the mummy
06:18Oh
06:19Someone's unleashed something in here
06:21Well it said it wasn't me
06:23Carnarvon
06:24Oh daddy
06:26After they entered the mummy's tomb
06:28The curse claimed its first victim
06:30Right outside Howard Carter's house
06:33A dead canary
06:35A dead canary
06:39Coincidence?
06:40Ha!
06:41Carter's canary was eaten by a snake
06:43And a cobra
06:44Is the sign of the Pharaoh
06:46Of course it's actually pretty common for snakes to eat birds
06:50So it's hardly conclusive proof
06:52Conclusive proof there
06:54Shortly after the mummy's curse claimed its first human victim
07:00Aunty do you want a cup of tea?
07:04Not now mummy
07:05I said
07:06Yes though please
07:08And some bickies
07:09Thank you
07:12Two months after the tomb was opened
07:14My father Lord Carnarvon
07:16Who funded the dig
07:17Sadly died
07:20They say his death was mysterious
07:22But we all know what happened
07:23He was bitten by a mosquito and died of the infection
07:26Plus he was a sick old man
07:28Who ignored all of his doctor's advice
07:31Personally I don't think the curse of the mummy had anything to do with it
07:33The mummy's curse had struck again
07:37But he wasn't the only victim
07:39My own friend
07:40Bertram Fletcher Robinson
07:42Died just three
07:45Years
07:46After writing about a mummy
07:48The curse was spreading
07:50Who would be next?
07:55Next time
07:56Ghosts definitely exist
07:57Me
07:58Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
08:00More on my investigation
08:03We talked to the man at the centre of the curse
08:06Egypt expert
08:07Howard Carter
08:0958 people entered the tomb
08:11And only 12 of those died over the next 10 years
08:14Many of them were either already ill
08:16Or pretty old
08:18I was one of the first people in the tomb
08:19And I'm fine
08:20The curse is utter rubbish
08:22La la la la la la la la la la la la
08:24Not listening
08:25I guess we won't be talking to him after all
08:28See you next time
08:30Unless the curse of the mummy strikes
08:32Darling I'm popping out
08:34Darling, I'm popping out.
08:35OK, Mummy. Good.
08:39Don't forget the eggs.
08:42This summer, the Roaring Twenties become the Exploring Twenties
08:45in a true story of courage, adventure
08:48and an almost ridiculous disregard for safety.
08:51In Transatlantic.
08:53Don't worry about the plane, guys. It'll be fine.
08:57Oh. Um...
08:58Wait.
09:04Lindbergh, you're trying the impossible.
09:06Lindbergh will be attempting to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic
09:10from New York to Paris.
09:11Any malfunction will lead to almost certain disaster.
09:14Yeah, but they'll give me $25,000 when I make it.
09:18If you make it, at least take a parachute and a radio.
09:21They'll weigh me down.
09:22Don't worry. I practiced for over an hour.
09:25The flight takes 33 hours.
09:27You need some safety equipment.
09:29I know that.
09:30I've got fine sandwiches and some cotton wool
09:33to block out the sound of the engine.
09:35Whoo, it's loud.
09:36Charles Lindbergh flies the Spirit of St. Louis in Transatlantic.
09:40What did you say?
09:42And after 24 hours of the journey across the ocean,
09:44Lindbergh will face his darkest moment.
09:46Oh, no.
09:47We weak hands fall.
09:49Sir Frank, no.
09:51It's just running easy.
09:54Ouch!
09:55Must be over France.
09:56Now, where's Paris?
09:57Oh!
09:58But with courage and determination,
10:00finally Paris Airport will be within his grasp,
10:03and he won't notice.
10:04He'll just fly right by it.
10:06But after 33 and a half hours,
10:09a man will land and become a legend.
10:12I've got his hat.
10:13And another man will steal his hat,
10:15causing people to mistakenly think he is the legend.
10:17Uh, hello?
10:19Hey, guys!
10:21I'm Lindbergh!
10:22Me!
10:23Charles Lindbergh in Transatlantic,
10:25because when you've got sandwiches and a tin to ween,
10:28the sky's the limit.
10:29Okay, give me some privacy.
10:31I need to pee again.
10:33Recording, Louis.
10:34Hi.
10:36I'm Louis Armstrong.
10:38I rose to fame in the 1920s,
10:40becoming one of the world's most influential jazz singers
10:44and musicians.
10:44But even the best make mistakes.
10:48During one recording,
10:49I dropped my music.
10:50But tell me,
10:52what did I do next?
10:54Did I
10:55A. Stop the session and start again?
10:58B. Sing the words of a different song?
11:01Or C. Sing made-up nonsense to fill the gap?
11:04B. The answer is C.
11:07I made stuff up.
11:09Scooby-dee-bow.
11:10Shoo-wop-ba-da-ba-boo-well-sell.
11:13B. We call that scatting the clubs.
11:16B. That was amazing.
11:18B. This is going to be the first mainstream record ever
11:21to contain scatting.
11:23B. Oh, well, you don't want me to sing it again
11:25with the right words?
11:26B. No.
11:26B. No way.
11:27B. This is going to change music forever.
11:29B. Soon, everybody's going to be doing it.
11:32B. Screeh, a flap, a doody-a-wha-ve,
11:36a wig-a-doodie, it's a quarter of the flap!
11:38B. Yeah, well, hopefully not everybody.
11:43B. The Roaring Twenties are amazing.
11:46But let's be honest,
11:47they're not roaring for everyone.
11:50B. In fact, for some people,
11:52things stink.
11:53And not in a good way,
11:55like a cow plop
11:56or a rotten old fish.
11:57Mmm, yum
11:58Poorer people are having to live in overcrowded, unsafe, run-down houses called slums
12:05Which are pretty miserable
12:06Even I wouldn't want to live there
12:08And I live in a sewer
12:09Hello, I'm Phil
12:12And I'm Fabulous
12:13And our couple today, Steve and Joe from Surrey
12:16Want to buy a home in East London
12:17But I can tell just by looking at their clothes
12:20That they'll never be able to afford a home in modern London
12:23So we're here in the 1920s
12:25Welcome to Historical Location
12:28Location, location
12:29Don't do it with us, please
12:31So, for value for money, we're going to be looking at a so-called rookery
12:38A charming name for a slum in 1920s East London
12:42Yeah, well, I suppose it's got character
12:44Yes, try not to get any of it on her shoes
12:46Ah, yeah, she weren't lying, you know
12:50I'm on the seat
12:50Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming
12:51So, as you can see, the room comes with both a tin bath and a rather handsome original feature
12:59Easy, tiger
13:01So you're my new house, mate?
13:03Whoa
13:03No, we were thinking of buying the house for just us to live in
13:08God, unlikely here in the slums, Joe
13:11Many houses are overcrowded
13:13But the good news is, he's included in the price
13:16But what's the wifey like?
13:18The wifey?
13:18She's dead, unfortunately, so she's not included
13:21Sorry, could we just draw attention to the freestanding, totally mobile bar?
13:26You mean the tin can with the naked man in?
13:28It's a big selling point
13:28You can move it anywhere in the house and enjoy a bath wherever you like in your property
13:31Once you've filled it up from the only tap in the street and then warmed the water through on the fire
13:36So there isn't a bathroom?
13:38Oh, there's actually no plumbing at all
13:40Or another way of looking at it, every room is a bathroom
13:44So, hold on, where'd you go to the toilet then?
13:46I'm actually really glad you asked that
13:47No one wants to use this bath water after I'm done with it, do you?
13:50No, thank you
13:51Oh, perfect
13:51That's another method of warming the water up
13:58Hang on
13:58So, guys, is it your dream home?
14:02Absolutely not
14:03All right, well, I'll see you out then
14:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
14:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
14:09Nope, well, there's one original feature I didn't need to see
14:13Congratulations, Rosemary
14:18I guess
14:20I know, finally I'm married
14:25Would you look at my Nigel?
14:29Sorry to take one of the last eligible men in the village
14:32I'm sure I'll cope
14:35No, you've got to be quick, Belinda
14:37Because there are many more women than men these days
14:39Some women are trying to steal other people's husbands
14:41I mean, look at that, though
14:43Can't keep their eyes off him
14:45Would you?
14:47Hello, ladies
14:48Oh, it's Nigel's dad
14:51He's newly single
14:52And you
14:53Are looking for a husband?
14:55Oh, I'm sorry, Ducky
14:56I'm not interested
14:58Oh, still grieving your poor wife, aren't you, Mr Crud?
15:01Nope, just playing the field
15:03There's never been a better time to be a single man
15:06What with World War, the Spanish Flu
15:09So many young men have died
15:12And there's almost two million women out there
15:15Who can't find a boyfriend
15:17The papers call them surplus women
15:19Ladies
15:21Well, I'm just so lucky to have my Nigel
15:24Are you, though?
15:27Of course
15:28It's natural for a woman to want to be married
15:31You can stay at home, cook and clean
15:34Well, I won't be doing much of that
15:36I have a very important job
15:37She's a very talented engineer
15:39You'll have to give all that up now that you're married
15:42I'm not giving up my job
15:44You'll have to
15:45What?
15:46Aren't you lucky?
15:47OK, I think we're done here
15:49You may be the best of a truly awful lot
15:51But I am not giving up my job for anyone
15:53Bye, Nigel
15:55Oh, well, you do
15:57Welcome to the family
15:58Rosemary, wait for me
16:00Oh, boyfriend
16:01Ha-ha
16:02Another man down
16:05The twenties are tough for a lot of us
16:11We haven't got much money
16:12Even though we minors spend all hours doing back-breaking work
16:17That's why we're calling a general strike
16:20We want to be paid more and treated better
16:23It's 1926 and all around the country
16:27People are stopping working in sympathy with us
16:30And as you can imagine, the government are not happy about it
16:35Sorting out the beefs of the past
16:39Philip IV of Spain
16:41This 30 years war has gone on long enough
16:43With the justice of today
16:45Stop it at once
16:46Or you'll get this gavel right up your Habsburgs
16:49Welcome to Tire Beefs
16:51With Judge Rinder
16:52The British government, led by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
16:57Is fighting millions of ordinary workers
17:00Who are planning to down tools
17:01And go on a general strike in support of the miners
17:04Who are fed up with the pay and conditions of their job
17:07First off, everybody
17:09Apologies for the court's toilets being out of order
17:12It is, I'm afraid
17:13Unfortunate timing
17:16Not to worry, Your Honor
17:18We bought our own chamber pots
17:20Some of us like to empty them onto that lot over there
17:22How awful
17:23I'll tell you what's awful
17:24The government want to lower our pay
17:26And make us work longer hours
17:28Not a penny off the pay
17:29Not a minute on the day
17:30What does the Prime Minister have to say about all of this?
17:33Your Honor
17:33These people are ruining our country with their greedy demands
17:37They're threatening to stop working for nine whole days
17:41What do you think would happen if I did that?
17:42I don't think anyone would notice
17:44Wait, that does it!
17:46Prime Minister, smash!
17:48Order, order
17:48Prime Minister, stop challenging that docker to a fight
17:51That's something I never thought I'd ever say again
17:53You know what?
17:54Fine
17:55I don't need to get involved myself anyway
17:57I've hired 50,000 special constables to take care of this lot
18:01In London alone
18:03They'll get these lazy workers back to work
18:0550,000?
18:06Whenever did you find them?
18:07Well, a lot of them are middle class shopkeepers and businessmen
18:11But we've also recruited from the upper classes
18:15Halley-ho!
18:16Hello!
18:19Hello!
18:20We are members of the polo club
18:21And we signed up to keep these greedy poor folk in their places
18:28Hi-ya!
18:29Such fun!
18:30They gave us truncheons
18:31It's not a truncheon, it's a chair leg
18:33Yes, we ran out of truncheons
18:34Okay, you might have support from some in the middle and upper classes
18:37But we've got King George V on our side
18:40Your Honour, these workers need support
18:44You try living on their wages before you judge them
18:47Certainly not
18:48It takes a three-week all-inclusive holiday in Blackpool to get a tan like this
18:53That doesn't come cheap
18:54Your Honour, the simple truth is
18:56We do not need these workers anyway
18:58We can just get people from higher classes to work at the docks instead
19:02What's a dock?
19:04Ooh, one of those little furry chaps with the waggy tails
19:06That's a dog!
19:07Stop laughing at us
19:10Or I shall give you a right good chair leg
19:13Bring it on
19:14Oh, I've got a poo bottle on my head
19:18I cannot work in these conditions
19:19Well, neither can we join our strength
19:21No way!
19:22Why don't you join our strength?
19:24I went to law school for seven years for this
19:26Things are hard for many people, all right
19:32But at least they've got some stuff to take their minds off it
19:35There are huge stars in the 20s
19:38Like Louis Armstrong
19:39The comedian Charlie Chaplin
19:41And my personal favourite
19:43The singer, dancer and political campaigner
19:46Josephine Baker
19:47She's American
19:49But she moved to Paris to make a name for herself
19:51And she's becoming a big star
19:54Mind you
19:55She does hang out with some pretty surprising characters
19:59Yes?
20:06Miss Baker, may I come in?
20:08Oh, Monsieur Duval
20:08Now's not a good time
20:10I'm about to go on stage to perform my act
20:12And I have some friends over
20:17Miss Baker, that sounded like a spider monkey
20:19No, it was Norwegian
20:22Yes, Bjorn
20:24You may have some cake
20:25Well, if that is everything
20:27Miss Baker, your singing and dancing have made you and the Fully Berger's Theatre
20:31The talk of Paris
20:32However, we do ask that you keep your animals at your apartment
20:36And not in your dressing room
20:37Sure, I know that
20:39No animals here
20:40Hello
20:41That was my friend
20:44The painter
20:45Pablo Picasso
20:46He has an odd laugh
20:48Who's a pretty boy, then?
20:49You are Pablo
20:50Well, if that is everything
20:53Guys, you have to keep it down
20:55Miss Baker, we know you have animals in there
20:58I do not
20:59You said that you would take me to court if I kept animals in my dressing room
21:03Yes, and there is a snake around your neck
21:05Excuse me
21:07Miss Baker
21:08Get off, Sydney
21:09You're strangling me
21:10I bought the raw meat from the hotel for you, Miss Baker
21:13Who is the raw meat for?
21:15Um, me
21:16Thank you, Albert
21:17You're a godsend
21:19I'm gonna name my pig after you
21:20Oh!
21:21Miss Baker, I know you have a pig, a snake, a spider monkey, and a parrot in there
21:26Oh!
21:27You mean the cheetah got out?
21:28There's a cheetah in there?
21:30Oh, he sounds hungry
21:31Excuse me
21:32What?
21:33Eat your cheetah
21:34Miss Baker, it was bad enough when you kept the pig in the kitchen
21:37To break the doorway down to get him out
21:39I know you have animals in there
21:41I do not!
21:42What proof do you have?
21:43Miss Baker, the cheetah's trying to eat the parrot
21:46Albert was just joking
21:47That's it, I've had enough
21:48I'm going to get to the bottom of this
21:50You'll be hearing from our lawyers
22:00Ah, so this is a Hollywood bash, is it?
22:06Mm-hmm, yes
22:07Oh my goodness
22:09Excuse me, you're Charlie Chaplin, aren't you?
22:12The amazing comedy actor
22:13I'm Winston Churchill
22:15And I'm a deep admirer of all of your films
22:17Your clowning ability is beyond compare
22:20Mr Chaplin, you wouldn't do me the honour
22:22The privilege of perhaps doing one of your funny bits
22:25Or an impression of some sort
22:27Sure, why not?
22:29See if you can guess who this is
22:30Um...
22:31Oh!
22:35No, no, no, no
22:36Ah, ah, ah, Queen Victoria
22:38Einstein?
22:39Greta Garbo?
22:40No, it's...
22:41Napoleon!
22:42Yeah, yeah, the very next thing I was going to say
22:44Took the words out of my mouth
22:45Yes, Napoleon
22:46Do it again, Mr Chaplin
22:47Please
22:48Okay
22:50Right
22:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
22:53Do it again
22:54Do it again
22:55Mr Churchill, please
22:56It's straight o'clock in the morning
22:58No more Napoleon
22:59It's such a good impression
23:00I insist that you play Napoleon in your next film
23:03We'll see
23:03Um, I don't have a script, so...
23:05No, Mr Chaplin, never fear
23:06I shall write your script
23:09So, we open on Napoleon
23:11And he's in a rage
23:13You can do your famous funny walk
23:15Like that
23:16Yes, it's perfect
23:17And he's hungry
23:18All he has to eat is a shoe
23:20Like you ate your shoe
23:21In your hilarious film
23:22The Gold Rush
23:22Ha, ha, ha
23:24Oh, what are you doing?
23:25That was a fake shoe made of licorice for the film
23:28I'm really sorry
23:29It's getting very late
23:30So I'm going to...
23:31Oh, don't worry
23:32I've got all night
23:33Oh, good
23:34Lucky me
23:35So, Napoleon is in his bathtub
23:37Just think of the comic possibilities
23:40So he's there
23:41And he's arguing
23:42With his brother
23:42And then
23:43And then
23:43Napoleon
23:44Splashes water
23:45All over his brother's clothes
23:48It's action
23:49It's fun
23:49Oh, exactly
23:52That's exactly the thing
23:54Wonderful, wonderful slaps
23:56They do it again
23:56Mr Churchill, you're acting like a complete clown
24:02That means the world coming from you
24:05You have made my year, Mr Chaplin
24:10Hi there
24:13I'm 1920s legend Gertrude Stein
24:16And I spent much of my time in Paris
24:18With my wife, Alice Talkless
24:20Hi there
24:21Eyes on the road
24:22You know, I like nothing better than being driven around the city
24:26But what surprising thing did I like to do in the car?
24:30Was it A. Cooking
24:31B. Writing
24:33Or C. Doing impressions of Joan of Arc
24:37The answer is C. Doing impressions of Joan of Arc
24:41I'll touch
24:41Oh, my French put them
24:42It's on fire
24:43Oh, quit kidding around and tell them the real answer
24:46Okay
24:47The real answer is B. I did some of my best writing in the car
24:52The sights and sounds of the Parisian streets inspired me to come up with some of my best ideas
24:56Sometimes you could even read them
25:01I did some of my best writing in the car
25:02I did some of my best writing in the car
25:03I did some of my best writing in the car
25:05Paris is one of the most exciting places to live in the 1920s
25:10It's jam-packed with artists and writers like Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald
25:17Together they're known as the Lost Generation
25:21And who better to play us out?
25:23Writers flocked to this town
25:29Talking about Lost Generation
25:31And started hanging around
25:34Paris was our destination
25:36American literary types
25:39Looking for new inspiration
25:41Disillusioned with the stars and stripes
25:44Leaving behind our nation
25:46A novelist, Gertrude Stein
25:49Writer of great reputation
25:51Had these guys around all the time
25:53Dropping in for conversation
25:56I knew all the artistic greats
25:58So Archie had appreciation
26:01Picasso and Matisse were my mates
26:03For our great, great dedication
26:05Lost Generation
26:06For us American expats
26:10The Lost Generation, baby
26:12Paris is where it's at
26:15Hemingway, journalist and writer
26:21Was held in great admiration
26:23Also a handy barroom fighter
26:26Useful in an altercation
26:28As Scott Fitzgerald, author supreme
26:31Great Gatsby was his creation
26:33Got new ideas from the Paris scene
26:36It fueled our imagination
26:38Lost Generation
26:39To be creatively free
26:42The Lost Generation, baby
26:44Paris is the place to be
26:47Sylvia Beach is my name
26:55Ran a bookshop on the banks of the Seine
26:58James Joyce, the author of Ulysses
27:00I'm actually Irish, if you please
27:02These writers often met round mine
27:05Are coming together a brilliant mind

27:10I thought he was a bit of a
27:12Last Generation
27:13An intellectual melting pot
27:17The Lost Generation, baby
27:19Paris has got the lot
27:22The Lost Generation
27:23Came up with that phrase on my own
27:27America's my country, baby
27:30But France is my home
27:33Talking about last generation
