Jukebox: We Take Our Hats Off to You, Mr. Wilson I have two recordings of this song; the first is the one in this link, which is sincerely praising Woodrow Wilson. The second was recorded some months later, and---though the words are mostly the same---it is clearly bitterly sneering at, and opposed to, Wilson. It's partly in the inflection of the singer's voice generally, and partly because, after heaping all the fulsome praise of Wilson you will hear in this recording link, the singer interjects, in a long run-on sentence, "I'vebeenovertoEuropeandIknowhowterribleitis..." which makes it plain that she's revolted at singing Wilson's praises.
