This version wasn't recorded to be listened to but seen. The mannerisms L.A. was known for take up some of the time. Notice how the song slows way down. It's the banter and improvisation that is the humor here and the song takes it's tempo from the spoken parts.
A rendition of this charming give-and-take needs to play off of the playful romantic tension of the couple in question. The lyrics and arrangement are brilliant. But by slowing the tempo, the romantic energy dissapates and it comes off flat. Even the great Sachmo can't pull off BICO at this sleepy pace.

Velma: Well, Pops, I didn't tell mama and papa where I was going.
Pops: You did what?
Velma: In fact, I sneaked out of the house.
Pops: Oh, Velma. Don't never do that to your mama and papa. You hear that? You stay here three more days and you go back home to your people there.

I love Louis Armstrong. But this effort bombed.

Sorry.

@fozmubi Its slow because it was meant more to be a comedy version of the song than to listen to :)
