Wikipedia says this about the song
"Happy Days
are Here Again":
Happy Days Are Here Again" is a
song copyrighted in 1929 [two
years before this appearance,
below] by Milton Ager
(music) and Jack Yellen (lyrics)
and published by EMI Robbins
Catalog, Inc./Advanced Music
Corp.. The song was recorded by
Leo Reisman and His Orchestra,
with Lou Levin, vocal (November
1929), and was used in the 1930
film Chasing Rainbows. Today,
the song is probably best
remembered as the campaign song
for Franklin
Delano Roosevelt's (FDR)
successful 1932 Presidential
campaign. Since FDR's
use of the song, it has come to
be recognized as the unofficial
theme of the Democratic Party.
The lyrics suggest optimism and
buoyancy.
Matthew Greenwald characterized
it, "A true saloon standard,
'Happy Days Are Here Again' is a
Tin Pan Alley standard, and had
been sung by virtually every
interpreter since the 1940s. In
a way, it's the pop version of
Auld Lang Syne."[1]
The song is #47 on the
Recording Industry Association
of America's list of "Songs of
the Century".
By 2006, 76 commercially
released albums included
versions of the song.
