Yes, I know that they are portraying Japanese, but Cab didn't record any jazzy Japanese numbers that I know of!.
Here's an amazing example of early trick photography. So here they are ladies & gentlemen, the greatest acrobatic troupe in the world. "The Goldberg Eleven". Eat your heart out Ed Sullivan.
The lyrics are not exactly racist, but highlighting a certain Chinese stereotype definitely. There's a difference. This is in no way discriminative, just making light of stereotypes which is always fun, even when it's about my own nation of birth and culture. Actually, it's especially funny then :D God damn Cab is awesome.
