Glenn Miller & His Orchestra- Five O' Clock Whistle

[padreopera]

A couple people have mentioned that they heard this song in a Bugs Bunny 'toon. That is where I, too, first heard it, yeeeeears ago! So cool to be sitting here in Mexico with "The 5 o'clock whistle!"

I'm a listener of rock by nature, but I leached to Glenn Miller at the age of 7 and I am still holding strong

Boy, the songs Glenn Miller played. Songs that made the Hit Parade.

You got good taste in music.

Bugs led me here too. Who would ever have thought when that toon was made it would be having an impact this many years later? Thank you very much for posting it here.

This song is actually by Ella Fitzgerald, staring Glenn Miller. :) But both people are awesome, none the less.

[dwired007]

@Deanaa Wow, It doesn't sound like her. What year was this recorded? She must have been very young.

[Deanaa]

@dwired007 Actually, I dont think she was. I believe it was after her career was quite established. I think it was the way she was recorded, because I do agree, she does sound different. She was in an experimental phase with her voice by this point (with all the scatting and all) Who knows, its the mystery of Ella! :D

I'm 15 and I can't stop listening to this. >_O

My wife's favorite version of her favorite pop tune. She was born 16 years after this! Glenn's her fav swing band. He's my lifelong hero.
