Even though I love this song, and especially this video, I have one major hang-up with it. It is the stereotypical way in which every African American, bar the Mills Brothers, are portrayed in this scene. It really p*sses me of every time I watch the video.
I love that song! It was also used in a cartoon in the 30s or 40s, but I can't find it. I think "Jungle Fever" was also the name of the cartoon. A little doll-girl dropped chocolate drops on the heads of some toy soldiers (I think) and they became black and sang this song. Later, I found the song on an old 78 rpm record.
Simply put-- these guys were so classy and incredibly talented. This song is about 70 years old and their performance still grabs your attention . THANKS for posting this classic. 5 stars for you.
Mills Brosi potrafili robić różne rzeczy :) Obejrzyj 'Caravan' też zuploadowany przez Syberkę - tam Mills Trio gra jak na trąbkach, a paru gości w tle tańczy Break Dance'a (w latach 40!) pozdro
These guys are always soothing to listen to
