Nice clip, but way too short.

@vanhalenfreak Thans for the info. They used some kind of a device with the film to make it look old, look older than it actually is. The same concept Orson Welles used in producing his 1941 masterpiece CITIZEN KANE in a scene where his charater Charles Foster Kane was found waving to the public on a train with an actor playing president Teddy Roosevelt.

@sgmarshall The recording sounded like like Elvis Presley.

@67nairb The song is from the early 1980's. Though your confusion in thinking it was made it the 1950's is understandable.

The Jitterbug was a dance from the 1940s. But the music in this skit is more like the 1950s.

oh yay! I was there, I remember this, it was on the USS Hornet. I miss them coming to the dances. They were definitely a highlight. Everyone misses them. Can't they come back?! (for free :D)
