With the Grim Reaper standing next to you stalking and waiting for the right moment to take your life?

Maybe you should learn to understand that maybe people just don't like this song. I like this kind of music but I don't really like this song. You are blind to this world. Maybe you should get outside and talk to people to learn to understand other people better.

The same personnel in this band, with Louis Armstrong also appeared in High Society, released in '56.

Re: Dislikes-If you don't like this style of music, why did you come to this site? And if you like this kind of music, I can't believe you don't like this this video. So why are you dislikes here in the first place? You're entitled to your own opinions, and tastes vary, but I just don't understand. Even if it's not your thing, how do you not appreciate the beauty of this sound. Don't get it at all. And back to the central question, why did you come here?

This is quite possibly the greatest song to listen to while smoking a cigarette alone on your porch

[Snozz berries]
