Flat Foot Floogie - Slim Gaillard

Slim Gaillard was the BeBop/Jive king. The jive slang was his trademark and a lot of the time, I wonder if even he knows what he is saying. This was his most famous song. Lots of folks ended up singing this song. Enjoy!

My Aunt Sylvia used to sing this when I was a kid...I thought it was a "Floosie"... but what is a FLOOGIE and why do they got a 'floy floy' ? LOL

"Flat Foot Floogie (With a Floy Floy)" was a 1938 jazz song, originally written and performed by Slim Gaillard.
The original song was called "Flat Foot Floozie", with the 'floy-floy' being slang for a venereal disease. The word 'floozie' was changed into 'floogie' to allow it be to played on the radio.The title for the 1938 The Three Stooges movie, Flat Foot Stooges, is a pun on this song's title.-Wikipedia

I love this song, I play it here in the outback of Isaan in Thailand and all of my neighbors' kids come and dance. I've shown them some swing dance steps and they have a natchul ball!
