To BFE...Taste and style are NOT simply in the eye of the beholder. This site is filled with nonsensical opinions. So why pass on misinformation? We are all entitled to our opinions, but that doesn't mean they are fact. Learn something about Cole Porter. My original comments are factual, and on the mark. You'll appreciate Porter much more, once you learn what he was trying to accomplish.

@BarneyGoogle1950 No, I may be somehow missing "YOUR" point, but I was making my own point as opposed to trying to understand yours. What is "elegant and refined" is entirely in the eye of the beholder. I'm not really sure how you decided that what I said had anything to do with your interpretation of the music, but it simply doesn't. It's my take on the music. Yours may be different. That's the beauty of music. Don't be in such a rush to invent reasons for a dispute. Just enjoy the music.

@BFE1127 You're missing the point. Porter used remarkable lyric, rhymes, imagery, metaphors, etc to make his point. He wasalmost always-- not direct and crude, but elegant and refined.

It's strange how much of Cole Porter's influence you hear in music across multiple genres. It's even stranger to consider that my great-grandparents were listening to this while they were young and rebellious, whereas I grew up in the 80s & 90s and we thought our music was making a statement. I'll say one thing: Our generation used veiled allegories to express that we weren't going to behave; But that generation had the balls to say it outright. There's an intrinsic value in that.

Now I am thinking how the parents of my grandparents misbehaved themselves.

@bobparis Gramatically correct jazz definately doesn't have that swing.

[heptunemama]

The vocalist is Tom Stacks. The poor man was killed trying to rescue his drums from a burning building.

Grammatically Correct Jazz:

I'm Not Misbehaving

It Doesn't Mean a Thing If It Doesn't Have That Swing

I Don't Have Anybody
