Ben Selvin's Orch. - Dardanella, 1919
Selvin's Novelty Orchestra - Dardanella, Victor 1919

NOTE: "Dardanella" is a song that began life as a ballad with words by Fred Fisher, and put to the music written by Felix Bernard and Johnny S. Black in 1919. Band conductor Ben Selvin (1898-1980) led into the 1920s with his hit version of Dardanella. The song held the No. 1 spot on the U.S. charts for 13 weeks, and sold a seemingly incredible five million copies.[

Its chorus is:
"Oh sweet Dardanella,
I love your harem eyes,
I'm a lucky fellow to capture such a prize,
Oh Allah knows, my love for you
And he tells you to be true, Dardanella,
Oh hear my sigh, my Oriental,
Oh sweet Dardanela, prepare the wedding wine,
There'll be one girl in my harem, when you're mine.
We'll build a tent
Just like the children of the Orient"
