This commercial for Gap Khakis from 1998 helped propel swing music back into the mainstream and publicized the swing revival of the late 90's (of which we are currently a part of).

    I was 18 at the time and completely remember this commercial. As a teen it did attract my attention. It did make me start wearing khakis. It just grabbed my imagination like a lot of people. Weird how "moments" in pop culture happen like that.

    There needs to be an extended version of this commercial (like 2 minute) with this same ending. Amazing.

    I remember this commercial - if you didn't wear Gap and Calvin Klein you life was made a living hell.

    It's still going. It's not the fad that it was 12-14 years ago, but there are enough people who love the dance and the music enough to keep swing dancing alive. Most big cities have a swing dance community...you just have to get out there and find it!

    That's Louis Prima, Keely Smith, Sam Butera, and the Witnesses. That ad might have inspired a swing revival elsewhere but oddly it came at about the end of the Orange County/LA swing scene where most of those dancers were from.
