  • Swing Heil! What'll they come up with next? But I like it! This is an interesting movie, excellent soundtrack and a great video.

  • Amazing! I love it! I wish I could dance like that (: Swing heil!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, I can not believe that there is other people who thinks like me, that we are part of the wrong generation. Swing, jazz, blues, soul, rock and roll...

  • @viuditanegra I know exactly what you mean and tend to feel the same - but in the end this is just another form of escapism, which of course is understandable. But! There always is a but, right? While music and general style were definitely superior in my opinion, you had to face a whole lot of other rather major issues. Bigotry, poor healthcare and labor conditions, racial segregation, fasicm and a world war to name but a few. Granted, a whole lot of these thing are still around even today...

  • @renderizer01Yeah but if you compare that kind of music with ehh.. whatever the world knows like music, today.... it's sad.... and is even worse knowing that they had to be in those conditions to create such a perfect thing...

    It's kinda hard realize that suffering is the key of success

  • Sorry..do you know the name of the song playing?

  • @salonsoliz The song is called 'Sing, sing, sing (with a swing)" and was written and recorded by Louis Prima in 1936. The tune became a major hit for Benny Goodman, most notably the live performance in the Carnegie Hall with Gene Krupa on drums. There you go... ;O)

  • @renderizer01 Thank you very much!

  • @salonsoliz its called Sing Sing Sing (with a Swing) from the Swing Kids soundtrack the one by benny goodman

  • @KatyaZeross Thank you Katya

  • Every time I see this video I have to smile. Good vibes man, good vibes....

  • Swing music and dance videos should be shown to depressed or suicidal people. They'd be cured instantly.

    Swing rules ... and, apparantly, white people CAN dance.

  • qué buena peli! y Qué buena época!!! swing baby!

  • I am born at the wrong decade. why cant men wear suits anymore,...and dance together, not next to each other

  • wow my current generation sucks compared to this one.

  • Instead of all the crappy dancing there is now, I wish swing would make a comeback. It's so much more fun and it actually takes talent. Dancing now is quite literally moving up and down on someone's behind. Not really fun. Swing is fun. :)

  • Not sure what's more awesome: the dance moves, or the best response to the question "How do I look?" Either way, I love it!

  • @Kattawhat The dancing in this movie is actually mediocre at best. If you want to see real swing dancing, look up Lindy Hop.

  • I'd wish there were some guys at my university that love swing and swing dancing... *__*

    I want this so, so, so bad.

  • @MissCreepington Try googling "Lindy Hop" and your city/state.  I'll bet there's something near you.

  • @lindyhop411

    Lindy Hop is popular in Berlin at the moment.

  • My favorite damn song. I couldn't sit still watching this part. >w< I just had to get up and moooove~

    My gf won't dance with me.

  • WOAH! i just watched this cuz my friend and i are trying to teach ourselves swing dancing, so i know NOTHING about this movie. but is that Wilson(or something) from House :O winneth <3

  • @nanarosemay You shouldn't teach yourself. Google "Lindy Hop" and your city/state and see what you can find near you. There are some great "How to" videos on youtube, but nothing is as good as being taught in person by an experienced instructor.

  • I used to do this in my 20's, if I tried to do it now, I would puke haha.

    A-lot of fun, but holy crap what a work out.

  • @mrceebees14 There's lots of people that dance Lindy Hop who are older and can keep up with the "kids".

  • @lindyhop411 They have uber genetics ha

  • what song is this?

  • @Darkwolf11742 sing sing sing of benny goodman. really nice song!!!

  • SWING HEIL, folks ! Once and for all ! :)

  • Aaaaah omg I LOVE this sort of dance! I do rock'n'roll, and boogie (and soon lindy hop) at my uni, and ooooh wow so born in the wrong century :D

  • I absolutely agree with you;9

  • hellz yea! they were the greatest generation---with the greatest music and dancing, dancing on the edge of life n death good n evil nazis vs us. sweig heil babies!

  • omg so fun

  • Swing heil!

  • hell,

    to the ya!

  • My kind of fun! Wish i was around during that era. Does anyone know what this song is called? Thx

  • @theWorks333 Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman.  You can find the soundtrack on CD.

  • Oh back in a time where clubs were about actual dancing and fun, not people groping and grinding to bad music with mediocre talent. I was born in the wrong era.

  • @Moneymakingpants1 I think about 1/3 of young adults like me actually felt that this is a wrong generation we're born with. When I went to my high school prom, everybody was grinding. I was the only one hopping from group to group doing some form of 'dancing', because I got rejected by 4 different girls prior to prom.

  • @Andybato Well I'm sorry you got rejected that sucks. I went to prom with 3 of my best girl friends. Us four girls just danced and had fun while every other girl was practically dry humping their dates. It's so sad how people think sexy and skanky are the same thing. There's no real style anymore. Whether it be music, dancing or even fashion. And people like me who would actually take a swing class are considered weird. Well I'm glad i'm not completely alone :)

  • omg, i love the look on RSL' s face when red dress girl walks in the place. his face is priceless! this is one of my fave scenes in the movie.

  • @padam4 I know what you mean. I feel the same way.

  • you can still swing like this at clubs like Swing 46 in NYC. I had a great time learning swing when I was in the Rutgers ballroom dance club. Fun times!!!!

  • What emotion! It gives me goosebumps whenever I hear that Swing!

    ¡ Que emocion se me pone la carne de gallina cuando escucho ese swing!

  • Anyone who does not like Swing has no soul.

  • i still remember one sub teacher in high school named Armin. dude was like 75 but could swing dance with the best. dude made me take it up

  • Amen to that!

    Wish swing could make a comeback, I wanna go to clubs like that!

  • Lawl. I love this style of dance but a silly little idea popped in my head.

    Suppose two swingers come into a popular modern club and start swingin' to rap music. People stare at them and stop dancing to look at them. They just continue. xDDD I would LOVE to see that.

  • @animabi I have seen a similar thing happen in a dance club. Tow of my friends actually went and danced a really fast Cha-cha right in the middle of a bump-grind. They ended up getting curcled around and cheered for when they wtarted pulling out the stops. DANCING FTW!

  • @Hustaryin

    That my friend, is WIN. Tell your friends they're awesome and the next time they do that it better be on youtube! ;D

    INDEED FTW!

  • @animabi This is known as a "Lindy Bomb" and people do it occiationally. But swing (i.e. Lindy Hop) actually fits pretty well with hip hop. The dance scenes in the movie "Idlewild" have a lot of Lindy influence.

  • Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman

    Goddamn this has a lot of energy.

  • Swing high :D

  • @1angelsmessage its swing hail, they said like you would say hail hitler, but you say the hail part in germany.

  • This could be easily a part of Batman Begins..at the early years when Batman/Bruce Wayne was training, he likes Swing dance!!!

  • Because of the Danny Elfman scales!

  • I wanna know what song their playing at the club. I just get up and start dancin' and swingin' evertime I hear it. But then of course my mother walks in on me jivvin' around my room like a mad man! Haha.

  • The music is called Sing Sing Sing and was recorded by Benny Goodman. It can be found here on youtube,

    Steve.

  • this one sounds more like The Glenn Miller Band then Benny.

  • @TagaSeguchi It's actually a studio band, not the original of either.

  • Also check out Count Basie and Duke Ellington! For more modern swing... Cherry Poppin' Daddies rock!

  • I love this type of dance!!! Too bad it's not very common anymore. It was SOOOOOOOO much better than the thrashing, undulating crap we do now.

  • I will! Thanks for the recommendation!!! :)

  • de la ostia

  • We watched this today in my world history Honors class.

  • wer watching this movie in my music class

  • This movie is hella dope

  • I love this movie,it speaks of the intolerance of people.The hatred and the way life was controlled by the nazis. What those people went through during the war. Lets not forget what the movies is about freedom. Life and the pursuit of happiness.This is a great movie.happy

  • Benny Goodman band's version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" was an extended work. The 1937 recording lasted 8 min 43 seconds, and took up both sides of a 12-inch 78. At its longest, a live recording (with several impromptu solos) was actually recorded and took up a whole 12 min 30 sec.

  • Yes..."sing sing sing" is the original version -- the "with a swing" part was added for this soundtrack. It's a FABULOUS song. One of the groundbreaking songs that has pave the pathway for future generations!

  • JAJA It's JAMES WILSON

  • lol, that was my exact thought.
