@JCJasion - Of course, the Muppets version was charming in its own quirky sort of way.

[JCJasion]

@SatchmoSings - I SO agree with you. I've got to get the wherewithal to get that version up here.

@a07002 Jack Hylton is great! Check out Happy Feet from the movie King of Jazz - 1929-1930, with Paul Whiteman, and the Rhythm Boys featuring Bing Crosby . . .

@a07002 I personally prefer the 1933 version of Horace Henderson directing the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra.
