AWSOME! Check this version out : youtube.com/watch?v=z0bp0go7tv­s

[AwaTu]

@InnAb109 Uh, i''ll keep it respectfully clean, as this is a public forum by simply saying I gotta go with you and leave it at that...

I had the pleasure of meeting Anita O'Day about 15 years ago. A truly great artist with a flair for squeezing more out of a lyric than any other singer, ever. Check out her version of "Ten Cents a Dance" to see what I mean.

Why the hell is there an Asian singing along to this?

[JoaoBirkhoff886]

DL the audio from this vid at tubepull doht cohm.

[blueeyed07]

Gosh, I love that voice!

[salo517]

I like this. Got a chance to hear a nice song and your singing along to me sounds so nice. Kinda like a shadow behind her.

[archangelmai]

Scat, synonymous with crap(seriously, google it), ruined Louis Jordan's work of art.

[FALLENFOOTBALLER99]

:O holy holy holy!!! how come this voice has been lost to the mtv generation!!! wtf!!! :) amazing simply amazing, now i want to dress all cool and have a cig lol :D

[pillsburydoughboy47]

this song works better when singing about women.

[wolf1750]

In case you meant: "when sung by women" I agree. I was just interested from a musical point of view (the scatting).

[pillsburydoughboy47]

this song is about irrational creatures; so it doesn't make sense when a woman sings it.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

this whole song is meant to "tease" women everywhere.

[conquistidora]

@pillsburydoughboy47 I sing it about women.... but, then I am also a woman

[cleosole]

Love that voice. they don't make singers like this no more. it's so so sad. ms o day is pure classic jazz when it was at it's best. Scatting is such a lost art form. Thanks for the post.

[wolf1750]

There we go again... It's so funny. You might have noticed, that I have over 1000 jazz-standards in YouTube (under "wolf175" recorded in karaoke-bars and under "wolf1750" with known artists). That's sheer madness, of course, but all those positive comments, especially from professional musicians, keep me going. I get only ONE kind of negative comments: From musical NOBODIES (like myself), when I "pollute" their idols (mainly Sarah, Carmen, and Anita). GO STRAIGHT TO THE ORIGINALS, YOU DUMMIES!

[wolf175]

If you send me your e-mail address, I shall send it to you as an MP3-attachment. Wolf

[hologram7777777]

[Ekeibire]

This is without a doubt my new favourite version of this song! You're great!

[wolf175]

Thank you! Wolf

[gmdv]

I am sorry, but it sounded as if another version of the song was running in the background sadly in another tempo. ;) And then I thought of Helge Schneider. Your German accent is too strong for a song like this. Seems to be better for Harmonists stuff. No offence but the brilliant original has been ruined.

[DNR1590]

I'm a drum and basser, but I love this track. Sweet :)

[wolf175]

Thank you! You lightened up my (depressing) Sundaymorning in Kyoto/Japan. Wolf

[malcolmlhj14]

that was beautiful

[wolf1750]

Thanks! But I think honestly, your home-page is too difficult to read. Love, Wolf

[malcolmlhj14]

i changed my page and i have new videos soul R&B music

[MaDMadZ101]

why do you always sign with "wolf"? thats a bit gay

[wolf175]

My first name (German) is Wolfgang (like Mozart) and all my friends call me "Wolf".

By the way: Anything wrong with being gay ? ;-)

I think, you just want to "feel me out" ... ;-) WOLF

[pacmansex]

Respectfully sir,

I wish you had uploaded this song without the additional vocals. I've been searching for this version EVERYWHERE, and I found it here, but would much rather hear its original nature before listening to something manufactured to remind me of the true glory of Anita.

[shpwrckF03]

Not opera... though I could kind of see it being like Broadway does scat. He certainly loves it and it's in style of the time... think Fred Astaire or Max Raabe, just not to everyone's taste. If the guy loves it, rock on!!! Music is about expression and he certainly is doing his jam.

[wolf1750]

Endless confusion!

You don't seem to know, what this sign ;-) means: "Written with a smile ..."

The singer is myself (wolf175 and wolf1750), who posted altogether more than 1 000 songs in YouTube.

[wolf175]

Strange, to me he sounds like an amateur, who has never had a singing-lesson in his life. But he must be musical, otherwise he couldn't scat like that ;-).

[dapilove1]

The best version of the song. She has the fantastics lines of improvisation and a great feeling! Vauuuuuuu!

[Islander255]

This is the version that appears in "Shortbus." Consequently, it is my favorite version of the song. Even better than the Tom & Jerry one.

[wolf175]

You seem to know much more about her than I ever did ;-)
