Fact....good music lasts forever and everyone remakes it at some point. Good music doesn't know age as far as I'm concerned...tho some renditions are better than others...maybe if he had a Keely Smith to back him up, hmmm.....
Great sounds, go and buy the Live in Montreal DVD, the Live in Tokyo is also great a later gig that I aint got but did get the Montreal gig on the net but cant remember who supplied, try Amazon. Rock on
I love the music. I love the retro appeal. I love the positive feeling. I love hard rock and heavy metal as well. However, the world would be a better place if music like this filled it.
@snoobeagle Are you serious? What about bands like Oasis, Manic Street Preachers, Rancid, The Hellacopters, The Wildhearts? All owned the 90's. Guns N' Roses still had a massive impact. Even huge acts like The Rolling Stones and Tom Waits released blinding albums in that decade. You either know absolutely nothing about music or you're a complete moron.
@alixxdeville OMG you almost cited a complete list of the bands I thought SUCKED A**. Add to it Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, Staind, Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, Live, Bush, Counting Crows, 3rd Eye Blind, Better than Ezra, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, Faith No More... the only thing they "owned" were instruments. They certainly didn't own talent nor melody nor entertainment value, except to emos who wallowed in their sad lyrics.
@snoobeagle Emos who wallowed in their sad lyrics? None of the acts I put forward interested emo kids in the slightest! They love all that My Chemical Romance nonsense, or if they're committed Rites of Spring. To be fair, the list that you would like mine added to are all awful awful bands! I take back both insults. You can't have hated all 90's bands though, who caught your ears?
@alixxdeville That's true..Emos, I have found out, are a more severe form of people I associated with the era. I need a name for the less emotional, but still depressed, rife with teen angst crowd. I did like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mariah Carey, Seal, Madonna, Jamiroquai, and Lenny Kravitz. These acts remembered to include melody and didn't just superimpose noise, at high volume, to "lyrics teens could identify with."
@ hanj31 Very cool. I had captured some swing videos and burned to DVD for my parents who loved that era. I'll see if I can find this one's inspiration.
Um, no, this isn't a kids song. Big Band Swing is a musical style that was really popular I think in the 40's - 50's. Pretty much a Blues 12-bar structure with the common repeat the 1st verse line twice. Written by Louis Prima, big band swing front man and quite useful doing Scat vocals as well. Probably most famous for his Jungle Book song, "I Wanna Be Like You"...which was written for kids.
Prob thee best of all modern swing!!!!! thanks for posting. and the old video is great as a tribute to the song and singer. We need more like the stray cat and his solo stuff.
oh man, my band's playing this song and now that i've heard this song, the saxs are playing differently then what most of us are playing it and it's fast too @.@
i think louie prima would love this

Was this song written for toddlers/elementary school kids?
Unimaginative lyrics and way repetitive.
Kids like that kinda thing.
Is it a euphemism for sex?

the key change (2:10 to 2:15) is orgasmic! Seriously, you can't get much better than that!
