Ukulele strumming for Inka Dinka Doo 1934 Jazz

In 1934, Jimmy Ddurante had a major record hit with his own novelty composition, Inka Dinka Doo. It became his theme song for the rest of his life.

James Francis Jimmy Durante (February 10, 1893 January 29, 1980) was an American singer and movie icon, pianist, comedian and actor, whose distinctive gravel delivery, comic language butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and large nose his frequent jokes about it included a frequent self-reference that became his nickname: "Schnozzola" helped make him one of America's most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through the 1970s. Sourve: Wikipedia .

For the youngsters. "crooning" means to sing. "spooning" is kind of like romancing under the monlight. (Ask your grandmother or go to http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/11/messages/581.html)

Note: The correct words are:",,,ih what a SONG for crooning." Sorry 'bout that.
