  • OMG Phil, what wonderful memories this brought back. I loved Glenn Miller and cried when he died. Loved the Andrew Sisters and all of the Big Bands who actually played music those days not the rotten crap they call music today.Thanks Phil. Maryanne

  • well im glad i wasnt around then. it be nice to hear the music but not when everyone in the audience was callin me a nigger, sorry but it was goin on back then. i wouldnt have my friends, i couldnt go to school and i would have to drink out a damn barrel

  • @zillahero Unfortunately most of the Black people in those days, didn't have the same opportunities, or the open doors that the White people had access to so what you state in your comment is a sad commentary of those days, but none the less they were the days in which I grew up during the Great Depression.

  • I saw the Miller band, but after Miller was lost over the English Channel in WW11...I was fortunate to see most of the big bands....Duke Ellington, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Les Brown, Louis Armstrong and others and like many other folks my age, we too miss the good 'ol days, and before TV, my folks,my brother and I , would sit around the our old table top "Philco" radio and listen to the regular shows and "The Hit Parade" on Saturday evenings, and some of the "Live" radio shows from New York...

  • @akonayar3811 world war 11? damn where was i?

  • @zillahero ----I have to think that maybe you weren't born yet ?

  • EL SR GLENN MILLER TIENE ESO QUE TIENEN LOS GENIOS. ¡¡¡¡¡QUE HERMOSA MUSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Check out soundcloud/phatcap! I remixed this and other old songs! Check my channel as well!

  • Can't beat it.....the people from this era would jump on a grenade to save their best friend, Kill Gerry, come home, marry their high school sweetheart, have 8 kids and stay married through war and peace. God Bless em, I wish I could have been there to do my part.

  • @bfmv20boii I wish they were still here. Maybe things would be different.

  • 13 year old here, this is awesome!

  • first rock and roll of the history

  • one of my favorite jazz tunes of all time

    i love glenn miller

  • So how does a smooth mello song like this get transformed into a big, hard hitting closer for today's high school big bands? to my mind it almost ruins the song playing fast and loud

  • is there such a video with tons of views with no dislikes?

  • Those yankee soldiers played their violins so well that they sound like a brass jazz band!

  • im using this song for one of my videos, and its perfect!

  • 5 ppl told thier partners they had a headache appearantly s m h

  • I love Justin Bieber.

    But music like this, is.. just, the best thing in the world.

    Plus, you don't have to like just one type of music.

    I love the Biebs, but it is my dream and passion to be on Broadway.

  • @JasmineDuthie You aren't the only one who likes many different kinds of music. I think people who aren't open to other kinds of music lead a less full life.

  • guys enough about the dislikes... it gets old

  • Thank you.

  • "Dad I'm out to kill 5 people!"

    "Oh! You can use my shotgun"

  • I call this and all the 40's music MUSIC TO WIN WARS BY!!!!

    My parents ate red meat, stayed maried and won all their wars......

  • @0289XYZ uhh whattt

  • @0289XYZ At the age of 59 this is clearly not my era,but the talent back then was awsome Some great music lead by the allstar himself,Glenn Miller. Miller is my Fav. Throw in all the musicals from 20th Century Fox with John Payne,Alice Faye and Betty Grable and I feel like I really missed something big.

  • Now this is music ;]

  • Outstanding. Glen Miller was one of a kind.

  • this is one of those song that will never get old.

  • musica chingona..ellington, bassie, hampton.miller, goodman, krupa. prima...all chingones...celebrate GOD'S gifts to us. CHIVO PWER!!!

  • One of the greatest songs ever.  My foots still jumpin!

  • 4 people aren't in the mood.

  • hands down the best number from the best band in swing music may it all come back big someday. bxben

  • People sometimes say that the Nazis won the propaganda war and wore spiffy uniforms and all that. But really, would you rather dance to Oompa Musik or this? Must made Stalin's hair stand on end that his five year plan could never produce anything like this.

  • What an era love it .Men were gentlemen and gawd i miss them ladies

  • radd

  • Oh music industry, why have you gone so downhill?

  • Thank you....

  • looks like 4 pilots of Glens plane are still around :(

  • I cant get enough of this song...and im only 14 :L

  • @TheStreaker2010

    Haha agreed and I'm 13 :)

  • Glenn Miller wrecked Big Band with his white-bread "music". You wanna hear good "pop" Big Band? Listen to Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, Woody Herman & His Swingin' Herd...etc. Miller killed Big Band & Swing.

    I'm just saying...

  • @NYDoll9 Not true..I love listening to all the music of the greats you listed above, and love Miller and his work just as much. He did as much for morale during WW2 as any stirring speech by any politition. He assembled great musicians and gave them great arrangements of great songs. You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, some may agree with you, I however do not....like you, Im just saying!....

  • just plain fun (clear and simple)

  • I wish that this was the popular music, and people wore suits all of the time

  • iam 14 ani i still think this is better music than the stupid rap and rnb these days go glenn miller

  • Back when music was good...

  • i love this song it also reminds me of that movie the Parent Trap u know the more recent one? that part when they r at the hotel..yea they play this song in the background..lol

    i have been looking for this song for 3 months!!!

    :D

  • My dog likes this song! There's hope for the world!

  • Folks may be interested to know that during and after the war, the BBC in the UK used to play a version of this regularly. It was recorded by the BBC here in Britain whilst Glenn was over here. During the recording session there was an air raid warning and in the background can be heard the faint sound of air raid sirens and the rumble of aircraft. Apparently, this was not special sound effects, but a genuine raid taking place. Instead of re-recording the session they kept it in for atmosphere.

  • @TOMBANCROFT thats really interesting, do you happen to know where a version with that is?

    

  • @chillriffer I'm not sure that it was ever put out on record. It was taped by the BBC for a broadcast and may be somewhere in their archives.

  • Maybe the best swing tune ever!

  • FINALLY I FOUND THE NAME OF THIS SONG!!!!!

  • i need 1 bullet and a gun. DEATH TO THE DISLIKER!!!

  • @rzkill51 you'll need 3 bullets now. heres a gun for you

  • Looks like somebody was so much 'in the mood' that they missed the like button.

  • @jlgirlxox : I stand guilty as charged but I didn't miss it this time!

  • With this song being in Fall out 3 and all, i would think it would have more views....

    Well it doesn't..

  • WHO DISLIKED THIS?

  • @ME1850 What the hell....

  • @ME1850 "Who disliked this?" Answer: Nazis!

  • I am always in the mood for some Glenn Miller tunes!

  • Peter Sellers had this song at his funeral.

  • This is such a fun song on the Sax, these songs are the best.

  • I'm always *In the mood* for this song. ;P

  • @DjavataRifyIT Someone's witty

  • la mejor musica del mundo vivn las grandes bandas

  • great

    

  • Excellent

  • @TheBritish - miller & goodman are among some of the best artists in a genre commonly known as "swing". There are SO many greats, it's hard to know where to start. Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Count Basie...I could go on for days, but there's a good start for ya ;)

  • Hell I may only be 16 but why not

    Can anyone eles recomed any artists along the lines of Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman ??

  • @thebritish25 - aomjenny has given you a good start. If you like the Swing Band sound, but would like to hear how it might be written by some of today's composers, try the Brian Setzer Orchestra, or Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

  • So much better than today's music

  • Props to Glenn Miller for still rockin the Army!!!

  • THIS is a real musician!!!, no rap singer who call himself a musician and steal other peoples music to "sample" into his/her own song!!

  • Is there any vocals or no?

  • Trombone ftw!

  • Comment removed

  • @Thepianofreak17 Tenor sax. We make it sound so good!!!!!! lol

  • i wanna play fallout

  • 207 likes 0 dislikes! like (y)

  • @frazzer316 anyone that dislikes this isn't human, and is probably some kind of alien impostor here to infiltrate and usurp our species.

  • My music teacher's description of Glenn Miller: A nerdy white guy who liked to play it safe. My music teacher is awesome.

  • one of my all time favorite songs....people look at me so weird when i 'm driving down the highway blasting this song or sing sing sing rocking out in the car......i guess they think i'm too young to enjoy real music at 23....

  • Having played this music for the last ten years it is the ONLY sound that instantly gets people on the floor to dance. I have also been playing some of the so called popular tunes of today, this music seems to have no effect on dancers. They just sit and seem lifeless, which most of them are !!!!

  • Amazing. And so relaxing

  • Me and a friend have a habit of playing the sax solos anywhere we go during marhcing band, then finish out the song. its FUCKIN AMAZING!!

  • I love this music. I play a sax. Music these days sounds awful.

  • @lovehamsters14 Not only does it sound awful, it brainwashes people who listen to it, then everything goes to hell. Keep on that sax!

  • At the Big Band Swing. My grandparents probably danced to this song at The Indiana Roof. Let us bring back the great sounds of the Big Bands. I play trombone. Is anyone out there interested in doing the same???

  • love is all i can say right now

  • This is probably the very LAST picture of Glenn Miller.

    As many of you know, right after this concert, he boarded a plane that went down.

    I won't say rest in peace, because I hope he is playing his music somewhere.

  • @dst257 Good words, man...

  • Growing up and having my father play this alot, and I mean alot, I never appreciated it till much later in life. But now, man you gotta love that swing!!!!
