All you need it the background music for "The Caissons Go Rolling Along". Hoover only changed the words to create the company song. I play the song at the Historical Center during tours and make the guests sing along!

Hoover and Eureka songs

I have the sheet music for the Hoover and Eureka songs. Got the Hoover music from Collector and Vac Shop Owner Don O'Connor, Youngstown, OH, on way in 2000? to convention in North Canton. Got Eureka song off ebay.

Perhaps we should have a VCCC barber shop group!

Eureka song

The Eureka song is actually called "The Eureka March." It was published in 1923. A mother and daughter and a Eureka Model 9 are pictured on the front.

Am trying to locate Kirby and Electrolux song books.

Electro-Hygiene Songs

hygiene903's profile picture
Wish I still had the Electro-Hygiene Songbook from my days as a salesman. They had quite a few of them, mostly to the tunes of what you'd call "old standards." For example, to the tune of "My Bonnie," was "Let's go, let's go, and sell a Hygiene today, today..." or to the tune of "On, Wisconsin," was "Electro-Hygiene, Electro-Hygiene that's the firm for me, that's the firm that has the golden opportunity..."
To the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic was "one poor woman swept and swept until she broke her back (repeat twice) and now she's dead and gone. She should have had a Hygiene (repeat twice) and she'd be living still!"
One of my personal favorites was to the tune of "Darktown Strutters' Ball" and here it is in it's entirity:
"I'll be down to greet you with a Hygiene, lady,
You better be ready about half past nine,
Yes ma'am I'm right on time,
I'm gonna be there when the sun starts shining,
So hurry up with your work lady, I'll show you something really fine,
It's the system so Supreme, it's the great Hygiene Machine,
You'll want it just like all the others do!"

Kirby Songs

I have a Kirby Song Book the salespeople used to sing before they went out to sell Kirby's. It's a hoot. Most are set to the tune of other songs, they just change the words like Hoover did.

Hoover Song Book

Just wondering if anyone has a copy of a (or the) Hoover Song book? I found one online for $32.00 (+ $14.00 shipping from Canada)--it didn't mention the year of publication. Here is the description:

Hoover Songs
Published by The Hoover Company, North Canton, Ohio

Used / Stapled Card Covers / Quantity Available: 1
From Murdoch's Bookshoppe (Mission, BC, Canada)
Bookseller Rating: (5 stars)


n.d., n.p. 70 pp., including name index. Clearly a song-book for marshalling the salesmen at conventions, this booklet contains the words to 152 songs. The first six are anthems from the United States and Canada; the balance are well-known tunes with the words altered to reflect the business of the Hoover Company: vacuums! The musical key is given for each, but no other notation. Song titles range from 'Hinky, Dinky, Parlez-Vous', to 'Wait till the Sun Shines Nellie' and 'Keep the Home Fires Burning' - the latter starts: "Keep the door bells ringing."

and I know I have 3 of the Christmas songbooks... One I took to N Canton 2 yrs ago to the Hoover Historical Society... the museum on Walsh University's campus.  I had lots of HOOVER employees sign it.

  Tom (Anderson) and I were photographed in front of the tree on Maple Street. 

 I'll try to dig out the songbook to which you are referring.

My Darling Clementine

Whilst The Caissons Go Rolling Along version seems to have been the most common song, there are also lyrics to My Darling Clementine - there is a clip of it in The Secret Life of the Vacuum Cleaner - this may be British as I believe they are using Hoover 160s
