@jimmykicker7775 the truly unique experiences that await you among the 52 stories of the The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. A series of elevators, filled with a cast of eccentric characters in twenty vignettes, is presented with only a brief glimpse at each story, leaving the rest to the imagination. Where are they going? Where have they been? I cut and pasted this description from Digital Kitchen.
@zulu26 Well it is slightly questionable but at the time it was written (30's) the world was just entering an age where American Music was permeating different cultures around the world. This song was written by Lil Armstrong a black woman who was married to Luis Armstrong. Lil was a composer and performer. She recorded several songs most with her own band. Perov Stelar sampled it and added other instruments and did a re-edit. So racist? No, I don't think so.
@Insight200801 yeah i know. i found this through parov stelar's version and backtracked (i do that with most hip hop and house since it's filled with samples). i read a few comments on the other booty swing video regarding the questionable lyrics so i'm glad i finally understand them.
@AtticPictures It's a sampled remix with instruments added of Oriental Swing. The original song was not used in it's entirety. I also have another video of this song with footage from the finale of the movie Chicago. I call it Chicago Swing. Just go to my channel. It should be the first one up.
This makes me think of Vegas, just the right amount of wrong. What was that commercial for anyway?

I thought this sounded like a Verve/Remixed song! So it is an old song (or a couple) remixed, thanks for clearing that up for me.
