Annette Hanshaw was "It"
This video says "Happy Birthday Elise" at the beginning.
Flapper-era singer Annette Hanshaw was definitely "It" rather than Vamp.
She was lovable and sweet, just like our Elise!
That's all!

If that big box of a mic is actually being used to pick up her voice for the film, I'll eat my hat. At the very least she would have to put her lips right up to it due to the poor sensitivity of carbon mics in general, much less than the ones of the day. So, it's just a prop.
Now as to the actual facts of the matter, if you will watch this April 6, 2008 video, you will see that your calendar needs adjusting for the shift to standard time (or something):

Thanks - though my birthday is actually in April (as CampKohler says!) So 6/4 in British but 4/6 in American. Either way, not October!

Thanks! I am a bit scared of fireworks, owing to the grim public information films they used to show when I was a child, so I am quite glad it is now over for another year. They are still selling fireworks though.

So then, your fate worse than death would be to be attached to a fireworks rocket shot high in the sky?

Yes, there is a certain resemblance there. Never heard of Tony Hancock before, though.

If you just mute the sound and play both those videos at the same time, the resemblance is rather striking.
Hancock was a standup comedian who had his own sitcom series with Sid James, who was in many of the "Carry On" British films, and that sitcom was written by the same writers who wrote Steptoe & Son, which Sanford & Son was based on.

I am sure you meant to say, "...upon which Sanford and Sons was based." ("This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put." --- W. Churchill)
