  • this is why i just play L.A.Noire and fallout all the time i wish i was born back then when this was the music*sigh*HURRY UP WITH TAHT TIME MACHENIE

  • @mythman9924 I agreee, I wa sborn in the wrong era myself! haha

  • @jennifer1003 That makes 3 of us. Just can't sit still damned

  • Fantastic!!! I remember dancing to this when I was four, and five, and six....

  • @TheJedgeworth Thanks, I LOVE it myself I always find myself dancin when I play it! I have it on my ringtone, so when my mom calls-it plays this!! (well that's when I had it on my AT &T cell) havent found it or cant purchase on my Verizon on yet...but i'll find it!!! My mother loves this as well as In The Mood" Thos ewere the days-she'd dance around with her sister back in the Good Ol' Bronx in the living room to that song!

  • Back again - thks Jennifer; Still fabulous.

  • @hackberryflat Thanks again hackberry! ;) 

  • This is swingin fantastic

  • I friggin love this song! thank you!

  • I've always been partial to the live 1938 Carnegie Hall concert recording of this song. Not nearly as good quality as this recording, but definitely one of the great big band-era performances. It also has Jess Stacey's amazing piano solo, probably the best thing he ever played. Both Jess and Teddy Wilson, who usually played the solo, were on stage. Benny unexpectedly pointed to Jess when the solo came around, and Jess nailed it. A few bars in, Benny yells, "Yeah, Jess!" and the band laughs.

  • Ooooolala glamour!!! Black and white photos are the best! These photographers are masters at lighting...

  • Very nice, thanks for your sharing.

  • Thanks for this vdieo! Never again will there be such a wonderful era. Even when there was war and struggles, people still laughed and danced and stayed positive. All this crap from now makes me sick. I wish I woulda been alive then!! Great pics and awesome song! as always it makes me get up and do a little swing.<3

  • A M A Z I N G !!!!!!! Thank you jennifer1003

  • @Dota291979 Thank you!!!

  • Goodman captures the spirit of the times...quick smart confident...and always moving ahead. In the midst of the great depressions and just before WW II...One feels that this country was ready to just bust out.

  • Hey do you know where i can find this exact version of the song for purchase? Its such a good quality and i cant find it on itunes! So frustrated!

  • @coolkid1234533 I actually found it on LImeWire.com, but now it's under copyright stuff, but u can try...its actually under "Sing Swing sing" Thats how I found it. But if there is a way to email it 2 u I can try, let me know.....

  • @coolkid1234533 I just used a youtube converter

  • @nacholu28

    What is a youtube converter? can I use it to send sing sing sing to Dennise's cell phone number?

    Thanks

  • @coolkid1234533 You can get the song Swing Swing Swing off of the Sound Track from the movie "Swing Kids". It's the first song on the sound track.

  • I swear to the lord i was born in the wrong time, and I can tell you love Clark Gable just as much as I do!

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DreamingOfACouldBe I'm 18, and I totally agree with you! I've felt the same way my whole life! :-)

  • Greetings everyone,

    I love them vintage fashion from that time ! <3 If you can visit my channel to hear me sing marilyn monreo songs and more in my own classic style. Thank You. xox

  • @ Hackberry Flat: I KNOW this is Big Band Swing. I was comparing this music with some of the more powerful rock music I've heard. But I don't need you to tell me what is big band swing and what isn't. I have the original Benny Goodman version of it which was recorded in '38 at Carnegie Hall. It is a very exciting piece of music. So is the best rock I've heard. THAT was what I was trying to say. I'm not an IDIOT!!!

  • Thks again Jennifer1003 - time for my 3rd annual thks to you - I keep coming back to it - watch it quite often - it's on my favorites list!

    Fabulous times - fabulous people (those WOWomen!), fabulous fashions - a time when masterful workmen, of all trades, were everywhere you looked - from BG on thru to my father plowing with mules - there's the realist pap about Hollywood illusions, but we need this - "to sleep, perchance to dream..."

  • I'm 15- but i REALLY wish i lived in the 1940's, I LOVE everything about this era, Yess there was the war (the only and major downside to it) but i think thte war made it such an amazing era cause everyone got through it the best they could, And the music is sooo much better to some of the rubbish you hear todayy :D x x x

  • @DreamingOfACouldBe Welll said!!! :)

  • @jennifer1003 Thank'youu, its truee though (: x

  • @DreamingOfACouldBe

    I love the music, fashion and film from the 40's, but I wouldn't say that I loved EVERYTHING about it and I'm very grateful I wasn't born in that era. it was very racist and sexist. This was 20 years before the civil rights movement.....

  • Which version of Sing Sing Sing is this? I want to buy it, but most versions are not as good. Maybe if you can give me the album/CD name...Thanks.

    Nice video, too!

  • @GarySFBCN I downloaded it from LimeWire.com -under Sing Swing Sing-that's how it's listed on mine. There are so many versions, bu that's the one-if u should have a problem-pls. get back to me & I can help ya!! ~Jen ;)

  • @jennifer1003 Thanks! 

  • @GarySFBCN There is really only one version to have of all that are out there and that is the original recording of the 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert. Tpetman85 has uploaded the first 10:10 Minutes of it but there are still nearly three minutes missing due to u tube's 10-minute limit including most of Jess Stacy's unbelievably beautiful, near-classical solo and of course, the big finish led by Gene Krupa. Its all good but this one's the BEST! Good luck.

  • @jtelesio Thanks again! Taking your advice, I found the 12 minute version at Amazon for 99cents. I'm downloading it now...

  • @GarySFBCN

    I'm 95% certain it's the version from the "Swing Kids" movie soundtrack. Skip it. The version isn't an original, its an arrangment performed by a modern band; it's mechanical and has no soul. Go on amazon, search "sing sing sing" in mp3 downloads, and grab the 2001 remaster for .99 cents. The real deal AND the real feel.

  • Great work excellent variety of photos - to a fantastic piece of music, Thanks!

  • @majik2hanz Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it! I play it every now & again just so I can dance around!! Haha

  • thanx..:)

  • @aprojoci  You're welcome! :)

  • WOW! What a great video, the sound just jumped out of the computer and rang the walls! Very nice!

  • @3rdStreetStudio Thank you! It does kinds just come outta nowhere & grab ya!! hahaha Glad you like it!!

  • Comment removed

  • You are an artist. After your touch, the photos and the music are going together in a beautiful way. BRAVO

  • Loved this! Great photos and song choice. Those stars were so distinctive; nobody like Gable, Crawford, Harlow etc. Now so many of the girls look alike and the guys are too boyish.

  • @Hunterunc I totally agree! You can't compare Jean Harlow to....well anyone really!! :) Or Clark Gable to Tom Cruise...it's a joke!! lol Thank you -glad you really enjoyed this..can't help but get up & dance hah? hah

  • Who is the band on this recording?

  • @thardingau Benny Goodman

  • @thardingau

    Good question. The liner notes for the CD (which I regret buying) lists the session musicians, but no group name. They were likely all contracted for this score, and that's it. The original pieces for the movie are from James Horner. This rendition of Sing Sing Sing was arranged by Chris Boardman produced by Robert Kraft.

  • Wow I adore this music! Bygone era of luxury, sophistication, music, art and transportation! :)

    God Bless :) great days back then! :)

  • @AlexeiTsarevich13 I second that!!!

  • Outstanding in every way. My parents' generation: When we made great things that the world wanted, when we won a great war and when we weren't so selfish and had a sense of community. May we honor our parents by not forgetting what they taught us.

  • @heysailor53 Thank you soo much! Yes our parents taught us very well! Im glad to have grown up in the era of the 70's & 80's. Todays generation is spoiled & everything is video games & ipods!! 3 Cheers for our fantastci parents!! :) Hip Hip Hooray!!!

  • What group did the audio for your video? Good recording.

  • Feel like dancing ~~~~

  • Yeah, I fell like dancing ^^

  • i never realized that gable was such a fox lol

  • I never allow my kids (ages 8 and 9) to jump around the house......except when I put THIS song on.  Man, when I hear that beat and those horns and drums....I just HAVE to (and I use the word loosely) "dance" around the house.

    We have a BLAST !

  • Thanks dovermoreno!!! I feel the same way!!! This was music!!! Im sooo glad your kids love the song too, it's amazing a totally different generation love this music, thats' wonderful! :)

  • :O!!!!! :O!!!! Ö!!!

  • What brilliant music ! Who can't resist playing the air drums to it !

  • Written by Louie Prima; this is the Goodman arrangement - Gene Krupa on the sticks - at his peak!

  • this was a really great time for music!

  • I love the montage of photos selected from the same era as the awsome music! :))

    By the way isnt this the song from the film the mask?

  • Parece que esse é o tempo da festa e estamos vivendo a ressaca.

  • thankyou this is amazing !

    my favourite song in my favourite era. I was born in the wrong time

    btw, who is the woman at 1:55 ?

  • Wonderful video. Superb. I'm struck how back then in the studio system, stars from one studio hardly mingled with stars from another studio....unless they were "loaned out". I know that Astaire was with RKO....but were Gable and Lombard with Paramount? And Crawford, who was she with then?

  • @followthefleet1 Lucille Le Sueur became Joan Crawford and signed with Metro, Goldwyn, Meyer

  • @followthefleet1 Gable and Lombard were also MGM, but I believe when Lombard had her affair with Louis B. Meyer, the studio sent Gable to work on "It Happened One Night" which was Columbia (lesser known studio at the time) I could be wrong on the time line... not sure. Hope this helped

  • unburiedteq....Thanks. Do you know if Gable was seeing Lombard at the time she was having the affair with Mayer? Is this the reason Gable was sent away? If so...it seems events worked in favor of Gable...at least for awhile...for not only did he marry Lombard anyway...but he also got to make a great classic film.

  • Scuttlebutt says Meyer(sp?) thought Gable's reputation would've been hurt because of Meyer's affair, so he sent him to make the film with Columbia. I'm speculating about this next bit: perhaps being such a "manly" type, his fans would have questioned his manhood had he been around the MGM studios while Meyer was "with" Lombard.

  • FANTASTIC images. Only one problem: they kept up with the beat of the music! They flashed so quickly I'll have replay, replay, replay. They deserved longer air time. Love singsingsing, but whew!!!!!!

  • Quite a name ! ! ! :^)

  • How could I not subscribe? I am so drawn to this era, it's culture, jazz, great American songbook. Every time I'm on Youtube it's the 40s and 50s. I must have had another life then. Great job! Thanks.

  • I loved it. The pictures were interesting and beautiful.  Great job.

    -------Ellen

  • I loved this one too...it's great...the music and pics are awesome!

  • when men were men and women were women and none of that bullshit in between...

  • Amen!

  • Thanks all!!! I so love this video and music as well, ahh the good ol days!!!

  • I'm sorry :-( I wanted to mark as good and a had a mistake I love this music and these artists

  • I wish i lived at this time too

    its look like very cool and i like this music soo much =)

  • I reeeeally wish that I was my age in the 40s! It seemed like such a cool time! Girls wearing heels all the time, guys were nicer to women and they had to wear suits and the music was irresisitble to dance to!

  • my thoughts EXACTLY

    Amen to that !

  • @Beatlebug60 that might have been nice buy don't forget that there was WW2 going on then.

  • Fantastic!

    Congratulations!

    Marc

  • O_o luv it =]

  • Great pictures.

  • And the music, of course!

  • I love Carole Lombards anklebracelet.

  • Great Post! My Grandad used to talk up Benny Goodman somthing fierce! This is a great testament to that Era! WOW! Fantastic looking Ladies, who just show enough to get your engine warm! Cool.

  • Have to come back and give ya some more STARS!! This Band is KILLER!!! Video too. Those Old Schoolers KNEW Class!

  • Where can you get this recording of this song? It sounds so GOOD! Anyone know what album it's on????

  • Hello @RollsRoyce thought you look under the car at 0:32 and 3:29 and 3:43 ;))

    the music is anything with swing, just read -

    Benny Goodman-"Sing, Sing, Sing"

    very good classics - nice!!!

  • Hah yes I noticed those cars :-) I know who wrote it aha! I was wondering where the recording came from because all the instruments come out real clear. I'd buy whatever album this song got pulled from. Thanks

  • Soundtrack of "Swing Kids"

  • Old Hollywood for all to enjoy :-)!

  • Gotta be Gene Krupa.

  • Thanks man, I thought so.

  • Somebody knew who's the cat on the drums?

  • Always a tune is sing sing sing, the 'gentlemans' music

  • Awesome song, awesome pics. Women were so glamorous in those days...

  • malagamoo, I cannot agree more. this one has to be played fast, The Wife and I did this dance during a Charity Ball, Hard to do, good fun and such a joy to complete out of breath but with a smile on your face. I have listened to both now. Left a comment on the second, This was the best addition to YT, I have see for a while. Lots of fun!!!!!!.

  • If you don't tap your feet to that one you must be dead ?.

  • I'm not old enough to know this song a lot, but i think i like it ...

  • they can play this song a little bit slower

  • Playing it fast is what make the song so popular. If they played it slower it would just be a regular old jazz song. The fastness gives it a punch!

  • Many thanks for putting this together. If one essembled all the Stars In Hollywood today, and tried to compare to these from the past............By the way, after some time trying to make a decission Goodman WAS the most danceable band from the "Big Band Era" in my opinion.

  • you're forgeting Duke Ellington!

  • When you are alone on a warm, lazy Sunday afternoon...try putting this song on and doing housework.

    You'll have a BLAST dancing and swinging while you vacuum !!!

    And if you have a mop ? It'd be heaven !

  • that is so true!!

    I was vacuming one day and was really bored so i put this on and the vacuming actually went by pretty quick.

    I also was sweeping with this song but i almost brok one of my mom's glass dishes. So i try not to clean and dance at the same time.

  • The name of this song is "Sing Sing Sing"

    wonderful!

  • Lovely pics! Amazing video!!!

  • Oh WOW!  I love this song, we did this and others of this period in wind band from high school too many years ago. I played trumpet and I remember that wicked growl in the beginning and that slide this song was the greatest.

  • my daddy be so happy if only he could experience what we do !

    and bring on more christina aguilera so she can educate the masses on how it use to be ; bless you c.a. xx

  • aguilera sucks :(

  • me 2.. if anybody knows something like that please let me know

  • the sound is great!

    does anybody know more of this kind of music? i need this aggressive mambo sound. no soft ones!

  • This is swing music from the 1930s-40s period. So if you want to get into dancing to this kind of beat and period, look for clubs like Lindyhop, Jitterbug, Rock'n'roll etc.

  • You should try "pink elephants on parade", its a disney-song from Dumbo, very simular to this song, highly recomended

  • Benny Goodman....... Hell yeah!

  • Back to the 30's... ;-)

  • and not only the song...wawaweewa!

  • incredible song!

  • joan crawford said he is the king what a man

  • At .34 is that the Duesenberg SSJ that was loaned to Gable? Or is that the Duesenberg SJ he owned?

  • Whos 1:06?? Now SHE is gorgeous!!

  • The Beautiful Carole Lombard!!!

  • Thankx!!

  • 1.02 is Carole Lombard, Clark Gable's third wife. She died in a plane crash in 1942.

  • I LOVE Clark Gable!

  • I love 30's swing jazz. Especialy Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, and Glenn Miller. Swing on jennifer1003!
