  • Someone severely messed up the title of this video.

  • Notpron. Just saying.

  • Swing is a style, Big Band & Swing is a subgenre of jazz.

  • This is the first song from BBVD I ever heard. Thank God for the movie Swingers for introducing me to one of my favorite bands!

  • @brittanyismoney I too was introduced to the Daddy via Swingers. That movie is sooooo money.

  • Gotta love Straight No Chasers version of this song.

  • 11 People ain't got no souullllll! XD

  • How the hell is it possible to dislike this song? Idc what music you like, but this is some damn good instrument playing and music, regardless what you like. If you appreciated music, you'd appreciate this song. Go listen to your lil' wayne and be ignorant.

  • @bl33d1ngm42c4ra The only ignorant person here is you my friend. You can appreciate all music or none. There is no in between.

  • SWINGERS!

  • Man, let's swing!!

  • Neo-swing?? Inspiration from ska and rockabilly? IIt sounds 100% swing to me. The singer has a hint of ska but no rackabilly at all. If that's the sound they wanted it's beyond me. The singer turns what would be an exceptional band into a good band. They're still good, but in my opinion...the singer doesn't cut it.

  • @MrChrisastin Well they were good enough to play part of the Super Bowl Halftime show

  • @MrChrisastin The swing revival movement started with Brian Setzer and his Orchestra. Up to that point, Setzer was known for his role in The Stray cats, a rockabilly group. That said, I agree that I don't see a clear rockabilly influence in this band. Still, the voice has grown on me.

  • @itsnegrojones Actually, Royal Crown Revue is credited for starting the swing revival, and both Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies formed before the BSO, and all three released albums before the BSO did. The Stray Cats may have had an influence on neo-swing, but Setzer was rather late to the swing game.

  • @MrChrisastin "Neo-swing" describes basically what all the '90s swing bands played, a simplified version of '50s jump blues with a faster and heavier beat, owing more to pop than traditional jazz. Most of the major swing bands mixed swing with ska (Cherry Poppin' Daddies) or rockabilly (Brian Setzer), which is what he's referring to, but bands like BBVD tried going for a more authentic swing sound.

  • Erm. Love the music but the singing doesn't sound swing. It sounds to me as if they got the first singer that came along. It needs far more personality in the singing. This guy just ain't big enough. Great song though.

  • @MrChrisastin They didn't just go and get any random singer... That's probably the sound they wanted. Considering this is Neo-swing, not swing. Alot of the inspiration comes from rockabilly and ska.

  • real good

  • i think there is a mistake in the second like button it's upside down......WTF

  • I disliked the video, just to make the lower comments no longer valid.

  • 10 people drank too much that they missed the like button.

  • 10 people are tone deaf

  • ready to see these guys kill it tonight in Nashville at the Wild Horse. Can't wait!

  • band title FAIL

  • I love Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I started to like them after they came to my school because we had a music program...I still have all their autographs(:

  • 'swingers' brought me here

  • @rstango1 Big *Band Voodo* Daddy - You & Me & The Bottle Makes 3 Tonight brought me here.

  • This song is fucking genius

  • I did the carlton to this shit. Awesome.

  • Thanx for the upload. The band's music is how swing should be ! Luv it !

  • I DO KNOW HOW TO SWING/DANCE, AND LOADS OF OTHER BALLROOM DANCES TOO, IF I WASN'T A NO-ONE FAMOUS, THEY'D NEVER INVITE ME TO DANCING W/THE STAR'S, CAUSE YA CAN'T KNOW SQUAT ABOUT DANCING, I'D MOW EM ALL DOWN*!* LOVE TO DANCE IN TUCSON*!*

  • @rubypoet007 Take a deep breath and turn off caplocks.

  • GOOD STUFF!

  • Oh god I freaking love the ending XD

  • i would have perfered to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy perform at the super bowl half time. so entertaining.

    thank you for uploading

  • thumbs up if Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is your favorite jazz band

  • @TheHinafreak It's swing, not jazz. :\

  • @Preevyew Swing is a type of Jazz, for your info.

  • @VineOfTheSoul Swing is not jazz. By your logic, rock and roll is also a type of jazz. Just because it originated from jazz does not mean it is jazz.

  • @11poop I'm not saying that because it originated from jazz it's automatically a type of jazz. Swing actually IS considered to be a sub genre of jazz. Google that shit.

  • @Preevyew Swing is a sub genre of jazz.

  • Feel the magic ! ^_^

  • 8 people drank too much and fell off a cliff

  • My school jazz band is playing this. The trumpet part is really fun :)

  • 8 people are tone deaf from too many hours of listening to Lady Gaga

  • 8 people don't have The Bottle.

  • Comment removed

  • Alright, good job!

  • 8 people who dont know awesome when they hear it xD

  • Love this tune, gets my feet moving, so much for that I got to get a beer.

  • swingers!

  • You misspelled Voodoo! Are you smashed yourself?

  • @billchew450 he also put band instead of bad

  • The only real problem with the whole swing revival was that these guys all played about 20-30bpm too fast. Need to slow it down. And why the eff do they have to wear the effin suits? More of a distraction, and it's clever for one video or something, but it seems kind of like telling the same knock-knock joke over and over and expecting the audience to bust a gut everytime. Aerosmith doesn't zoot suit up to do 'Big Ten Inch Record', and that's one of the best swing 'revivals' whatever.

  • @korgri

    Doesn't matter that it's too fast. "Revival" doesn't mean "copying", it means they're presenting their own, modern interpretation of the genre, surely?

  • @CaptainDisaronno I concur completely; new genre. So why the goddamn suits? Instead of a new style they seem as if nostalgia fetishists. Over- quick tempos allude to a subtext of frantic masturbatorial behaviour patterns ("gotta get this done quick before someone realizes I'm taking too long in the bathroom") Ah! I get it! The suits are a distraction! Like the chronic masturbator who figures if he dresses like a janitor, no one will raise an eyebrow if he's in there more than ten minutes!

    eureka

  • @CaptainDisaronno huh.. looks like beamshipyoda hit it on the head. Gotta remember that "dress like a janitor" ploy, seems like a remarkably shrewd idea. I suppose it might be useful if one were in a situation where the bathroom(s) had to be shared... Probably your housemates/family would quickly get wise: "don't mind him, he's 'scrubbing the toilet'..." and they all laugh.

    Or in your case, your 'flatmates' would say "he's 'scrubbing the loo'..", which seems funnier..ah, you wacky Brits.

  • 7 people liked this song so much, that they missed the like button

  • bbvd, squirrel nut zippers and cherry poppin daddys, led the swing revival of 1998

  • @Kellogs43able

    You forgot Brian Setzer!

  • whats it gonna be?

  • irishmnk probably so it wouldn't get taken down for being the real orignal song not altered or sped up

  • @zimmcat You wouldn't know good music if it kicked you in the mouth.

  • whats it gonna be?

  • @sup4tea gin and tonic sounds mighty might good to me!!! Going to see them tonight in Sacramento!

  • When I'm home alone and have house cleaning to do I crank up some BBVD. I get out the vacuum and the next thing you know I'm swing dancing with it! If this song doesn't get your foot tapping you better check your pulse.

  • @ole9421 Upload this please!

  • this version is different from the one on their CD

  • I love that song.

  • Its amazing what Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Revue started

  • wonder how 'zimmcat' even happened upon this video... I love this! I saw them in concert last year.. Fabulous!

  • Sorry, but what an ass - at least he or she put the video on here. Where's your contribition?

    Anyway, what a great song !!!

  • @zimmcat they see me trollin'

  • @zimmcat  your a fag...

  • Her, me and the bottle will make three tonight, oh yeah!

  • me gusta!! nunca habia oido esto!! es divertido!!

  • Amazing tune & depth. Plz come to Australia!

  • Are real zoot suits still made?

  • YUP! I'm a musician, and I looked them up on the Net. Your best bet is to get your sizes figured by a real seamstress, and then armed with that go to eBay and enter men's Zoot Suit under men's clothes! They are the cheapest, but come in all sizes! Orange, Blue, Black....your call....check it out...before it's LAST CALL!

  • I gotta look sharp man.

  • yep

  • I love this sound! These guys are great.

  • great song, gotta love the saxaphone solo

  • Waddaya mean it's last call???

    Good stuff!

  • BBVD You guys great .

  • These guys are awesome!

  • how the hell did you mess up the title???? You used the band name as the damn graphic!!

  • hahhahahahah

  • @irishmn3k oh shut up and enjoy

  • Comment removed

  • @irishmn3k Hahaha :D Thats freaking awsome haha

  • @irishmn3k If it wasn't for the fact that "irish" was in your name, I'd think your retarded yelling at some one for something so stupid. However, since your aperantly Irish, I know your just drunk.

  • gotta love mystery google hahha...

  • swing revival, new swing, neo swing, it's all the same thing. very short lived scene in the 90s.

  • "I think I need another drink... WHADDYA MEAN IT'S LAST CALL!?!?"

    haha

  • I love that so much XD

  • I JUST GOT HERE!

  • Youre money baby and you dont even know it

  • thats what iv been trying to tell him.

  • you're like a big bear man

  • Saw these guys in Atlanta w/ The Cherry Poppin' Daddies @ The Fox Theatre and Brian Setzer Orchestra. Great venue for an amazing Show!

  • it is not big BAND voodoo daddy but big BAD voodoo daddy

  • I saw these guys at the Hootenanny,this year.They kicked ass!!! There was a lot of people swing dancing in that 90 degree heat. They sounded tight...

  • I played this sight reading once with a band, but I didn't realise what it was called. I just found this by coincidence :P

    Great music.

  • america needs to go back out and dance again! fuck the booty bars lets have fun man

  • I gotta agree with ya, though I did get lucky. My father plays in a couple swing style bands (not to mention an umpa band but let's not mention that...)

  • love this song. my dad showed me this band a year or so ago. to bad this kind of music isnt still around its much better than all that rap crap stuff coming out

  • We have the same story! lol! My dad got me into these bands!

  • you might like the movie swingers. it's basically about the swing scene in the

    90's.

  • forgive my stupid comment but there was a swing scene in the 90s enlighten me ( I am not being sarcastic).

  • yes there was and still is.

  • i believe its called the neo swing revival. correct me if im wrong

  • Life must have been quite awful in the 30ties-40ties-50ties - except for the music :-)

    Heard a Mambo Bigband in Havanna years ago - it was incredible.

  • why so awful? just curious. As for Americans, after 34 things are pretty peachy. We lost less than any other nation in the war and the 50's are downright the golden age of the United States

  • I REALLY wish the whole ska/swing thing lasted longer than it did when I was in high school. This kind of music is just great to listen to. Unlike just about everything that's come out in the past five years. And certainly evrything that's been put on heavy rotation in the past 10.

  • Comment removed

  • lol no its no bigband.. its just a combo..

  • You would not have lasted a minute with that mouth

  • More like the 30s-40s and the 90s apparently.

  • @Hendrixism who doesnt....and I'm 18 XD and this is a modern band

  • .....40's. swing is from the 40's. ;)

  • its my floor music for gymnastics cuz its upbeat

    =)

  • This song makes me wish I knew how to swing dance.

  • Me too, lol!

    I was actually considering learning swing dance just so I could do it to this song, hahaha.

    It's so good :D

  • @Aprilreign08 Me TOO! We went to one of their concerts last night and some of my school mates were up in the orvhestra pit swinging and i was like omg i wish i knew how ta do that!! I did at one point we had to learn and then i forgot...

  • @Aprilreign08 You cant help but move to it can ya ;)

  • @Aprilreign08 Lucky for you, one of the related videos to the right is "How to Swing Dance"

  • @Aprilreign08 Learn! It's easy and so amazingly fun :D

  • @Aprilreign08 Learn the tap kick and turn and your good :) swing is really easy to learn because most of it just flows. Partners is harder if you get into the throwing and flipping, but it's still easier then ball dancing LOL

  • N0T Pron xD

  • I can't believe I hadn't heard about this awesome band until today. I feel violated!

    Great song, great band.

  • Notprom has shown me this band couple years ago...They're gr8...It's a shame that they don't have concerts in Poland ;/ Anyway..thx for the video!

    Peace!

  • thanks for posting clmantis, im a rock guy all the way but for some reason i like this stuff, go figure

  • I love this kind of swing/jazz.

    And i'm in a deathmetal band. LOL

  • es muy buena esta orquesta¡

  • This song rocks!!!

  • i love this song! this is the 1st song they're playin in the derby when they appear in swingers.

  • welcome to enlightenment. :)

  • Im a classic rock guy. When i watched teh movie swing kids i liked the up beat stuff. After some research i came to this. God dam ive been in the shadow to real jazz.

  • thanks to David Munnich from Notpron team I know this band :D

  • Oh yes... I don't forget...

  • This is fantastic!, thanks for posting, I can't believe a band as good as this has passed me by till today!

  • They are playing in San Diego at Viejas Casino on the 28th of March

  • Jazzysax i just left a comment on another page with them, I saw them last night and charismatic is definitely the best word to use! What a blast...

  • wow! totally worth seeing it. these guys are charismatic and fun to watch, so if you EVER get a chance to see them, please do! you wont regret it!

  • It´s Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Bad not BAND)

  • XD. He thinks it's spelled Voodo too. You'd think that having the picture would help!

  • but the style of music is in fact Big Band

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! greatness!!

  • Just watch John Favrue dance to this w/ Heather Graham in Swingers, it's awsome. Great movie fantastic song. Hell, my five year old LOVES it. We need more of this. Good times.

  • These guys were awesome live. Definitely worth seeing.

  • Good times dancing to this song!

    Good times!

  • If it was not for the digital quality, you might swear that you're listening to a recording from 1942!!!!

  • I play this in my school jazz band its awesome

  • In the day and age we live its going to be cool to see when old popular genres of music pop up on current day hit lists.

    Imagine when disco hits a popular phase...I better learn how to dance

  • In the late 90's there was this pretty cool phase where these swing/rock bands suddenly became popular. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cherry Poppin Daddies, Brian Setzer Orchastra, etc... It was a cool time indeed.

  • "Imagine when disco hits a popular phase...I better learn how to dance "

    Apparently that will be in the 25th Century

  • ive been hering that 2010 people are gona try to bring disco back or atleas the 2000-teens

  • Which Big Bad Voodoo Daddy album is this song from?

  • Americana deluxe

  • "Hey Scotty! What's it gonna be?"

  • SWINGERS....what a great movie!

  • Favs can dance his ass off.

  • Totally Amazing! Great beat and sound!

  • Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is just totally awesome!

    AWESOME I SAY! ^^

    Everything~

  • love this song, have been hoping someone would slap it on youtube
