 I couldn't possibly comment on which one is the right speed (but I agree with you). At the very least you get to my favourite bit 5 seconds earlier on my video...

 @ RadnaNotions: Now that you say it, I have to agree: the record is supposed to play noticeably faster, just as on your youtube video. Just compare Bob Crosby's voice on both versions. In my opinion, he only sounds right on yours.

 The A-side of this is one of my favourite records full stop. I know Glenn Miller was lurking in this band around this time. I seem to recall looking it up to check once it got to the bit at about 2:20 in the video below.

Incidentally my UK Brunswick copy plays quite a lot faster than that video.

 The glamorous "Lullaby Of Broadway" is one of my favorite songs of the 1930s, and the Dorseys' recording, with Bob Crosby's restrained crooning and the band swinging buoyantly, is especially delightful. According to Joel Whitburn's dubious charts (see this discussion), it was also the most successful of six versions of the song charted in 1935. Thanks, xiphophilos, for the additional submission of the atmospheric movie clip, including the spectacular opening scene with singer Wini Shaw's head slowly zooming in.

Here are the cool lyrics (Crosby only sings the first two verses):

Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway.
The hip hooray and bally hoo,
The lullaby of Broadway.
The rumble of the subway train,
The rattle of the taxis.
The daffy-dills who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxie's.

When a Broadway baby says "Good night,"
It's early in the morning.
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn:
Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day,
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.

Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway.
The hidee hi and boopa doo,
The lullaby of Broadway.
The band begins to go to town,
And ev'ryone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'Til ev'rything gets hazy.

Hush-a-bye, "I'll buy you this and that,"
You hear a daddy sayin'.
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day:
Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day!
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.
