About this song:
“Makin' Whoopee,” composed by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by Gus Kahn in 1928, is a jazz and pop standard known for its playful treatment of marriage and domestic life. It mixes humor with a swinging, rhythmic charm.
The first recordings were made by Eddie Cantor, and the tune has been adapted by numerous jazz vocalists and instrumentalists. Its 32-bar AABA form and syncopated melody make it a versatile piece for both comedic performance and instrumental improvisation.
