"Puttin' On the Style" is a satirical American song. Vernon Dalhart (stage name of Marion Try Slaughter (1883 – 1948)) recorded it in December 1925 and by 1926 it was a popular hit. The song was collected in the Catskills by Norman Cazden from Ernie Sagar in 1945 showing that it had entered oral tradition. Another version has also been collected from oral tradition in West Virginia. "Puttin' On the Style" was a 1957 hit for skiffle artist Lonnie Donegan. The Chad Mitchell Trio also recorded this song on Mighty Day on Campus (1961). Finnish singer Lasse Liemola had a hit in 1958 with a Finnish version of the song titled as "Diivaillen". In 1974 a group called Hullujussi covered "Diivaillen" in their album Bulvania. The lyrics were published in the July 25, 1870 issue of the "North Star" (Danville, Vermont). This song has been copyrighted several times using a subset of the lyrics published in 1870. Copyrights include 1875 George P. Wright, 1915 Matilda Leonard, 1926 Henry Dawes and Rob Hughes. In 1945 Norman Cazden collected this song and subsequently published it. Consequently, some recordings, notably the 1957 version by Lonnie Donegan, incorrectly credit Cazden as the songwriter.
