The obscure Bygone Productions unearthed this forgotten song and released it on the Planet Playback label in the seventies.
Egga Dagga came out only once on a record in the mid-thirties, on Decca Records. Nick Cochrane is backed by the Fed Fio Rito Orchestra. The original release of Egga Dagga is unknown. But it's not the Decca version. It's possibly taken from one of the several KBS (Keystone Broadcasting System) transcriptions that Nick Cochrane has recorded with His Men About Town.
The song, variously spelled, has been featured in various movie between 1936 and 1943 :
Holly Terror" Twentieh Century-Fox, 1936
Hollywood Party, MGM 1937
Seven Sinners 1940 Universal
Egga Dagge Ohft!, RCM soundie, RCM, 1942
Here Comes Elmer" Republic 1943
