  • Ok guys the music video for ghost of spehen foster is modeled on bimbo's initiation; at least i think it is because many parts of it look very simular if u agree vote this comment up so others can see it too

  • Im curious about why you guys go for that look you have, so old fashioned.

  • I love her hat.

  • First time I saw the video I thought it was modeled after the Max and Dave Fleischer cartoons from the 1930s. The scene of the couple going down the slide and being spit out into the room reminded me of a similar scene from the cartoon "Bimbo's Initiation".

  • @1941lex of course its kletzmer......................­it is what it is. Also, whether the nut zippers want to be part of the swing revival or not they are.....................Late 90's + Big Band Type Music = Swing revival

  • A question: some parts of the song sound to me a lot to kletzmer music. Any influence? or just plain coincidence of musical styles?

    Same for other songs of SNZ.

    Thank you.

  • I performed in a play called sing on,Had all this stephen foster music in it,i would cringe when i heard anything stephen foster,EXCEPT for this song,it got me through it.

  • I think that cartoon was the first music video that I ever saw on an "enhanced" CD (or what ever they were called)... I guess that would be 10 years ago now.

  • And I absolutely agree 100%!

    SNZ are great musicians and very much fun to watch!

  • i love your music.
