Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning
A bit offbeat for MILHIST, but fun. In 1918 Irving Berlin got drafted and wrote this song about a universal sentiment shared by everyone who's ever served in the military. The song became the biggest hit of a fundraising benefit for Camp Upton during World War I and saw a revival during World War II (because in terms of years, if not hours, the message is timeless). Already a featured sound and a GA. Seeking input toward possible FAC. Durova 355 19:11, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Its hard to fault your sourcing, but I'm a rat, so lets go.
 * Some of your presses are obscure, consider universally adding press locations.
 * No cites from before 1984? Most citations with links to online editions?  Consider trying a library / the extent of your Full Text On Net bias?  Are there any sources you haven't used due to age?  Any major bios of Irving pre 1984?
 * Reception: any major newspaper reviews from the time it occurred. Yes, this is effectively asking for primary sources, but we could enjoy newspaper column reviews.  For ease of access a number of major US newspapers have long catalogues online now.
 * Reception over time within US armed forces by servicemen and women?
 * Non US reception?
 * Subversive receptions / filking / obscene parodies?
 * Consider taking to Featured Article Candidates? Fifelfoo (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Good questions. Have rooted through the city and county libraries as well as the interlibrary loan circuit.  Out here the municipal libraries tend to sell old biographies.  Might have a few more nuggets to glean from the local UC campus, but archival newspaper reports about 90-year-old theatrical revues in New York City is a bit hard to glean from San Diego. :)  There may be more about the WWII shows and possibly information about a late recording.  Thank you for the intriguing and tough review. :)  Durova  357 01:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
