Minnie, the Moocher (subtitled)

Birsa's latest performance. This is one is with his school http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit#Jazz band. The song, "Minnie, the Moocher", is a 1931 hit by Cab Calloway and his Orchestra, that sold over a million copies in its day! It is most famous for its nonsensical ad libbed ("scat") lyrics (for example, "Hi De Hi De Hi De Hi"). In performances, Calloway would have the audience participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of call and response. Eventually Calloway's phrases would become so long and complex that the audience would laugh at their own failed attempts to repeat them. Birsa tries the same trick.... Does it work? Find out for yourself!
