You're Darn Tootin'

Filmed at the start of 1928, Stan Laurel's and Oliver Hardy's characters had come into their own, and story ideas began flowing. Early in January, one of the gag men had seen some musicians performing in a park bandstand and mentioned it to Stan, and soon they were filming what was called 'The Music Blasters'; this title was changed just before its release. It was filmed almost in sequence in 10 days with the shin kicking and pants tearing sequence taking 2 days. Due to an existing still, it's known that one gag was filmed and then dropped. This featured an elderly lady about to give some money to the Boys who are street musicians but pulls a face at hearing their 'music' and turns away. The gag where Stan loosens the top of the salt and pepper shakers was reused in The Hoose-Gow (1929) a year later. Ham Kinsey, who was billed as a musician, was also Laurel's stand in.

In the course of the escalating tiff on the street between Stan and Ollie, there are multiple instances of Ollie punching Stan in the stomach, followed by Stan kicking Ollie in the shins. After a few of these, tactics change to ripping handkerchiefs, removing or shredding ties, etc. After the latter takes place, the handkerchief and tie are seen lying on the ground. Then, a couple of shots are inserted of more stomach punching and shin kicking, which were actually shot earlier and show the boys' ties and handkerchiefs still intact.
