I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now

DESCRIPTION: "I wonder who's kissing her now? Wonder who's teaching her how? Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs an' telling lies? I wonder who's buyin' the wine, for the lips that I used to call mine? ... I wonder who's kissing her now?"

NOTES [82 words]: Edward Foote Gardner, Popular Songs of the Twentieth Century: Volume I -- Chart Detail & Encyclopedia 1900-1949, Paragon House, 2000, p. 285, estimates that this was the third most popular song in America in 1909, peaking at #1 in September of the year (the #1 song that year being "By the Light of the Silvery Moon"). It had another peak in 1949 (#2 in October of that year), presumably due to the Perry Como recording and, perhaps, the movie; a movie by this title was released in 1947. - RBW
