I was not alive back then, but I have a feeling that I would have really hated the music that passed for good at the time. |

Bill, enough of this one already. Can we re-retire it and pull something else out from the distant past?  |

Ohhhhh - I heard this, knew it was the original, and flashed back to the Brian Setzer Orchestra's version. Lordy - it's just a good song no matter WHO does it! I'd never heard Louis Prima's rendition - but the Setzer version hooked me right away. I have a friend who does swing-dancing, and they use the Setzer version. I'm partial, but day-am, Louis Prima rocks, too! (We need to get us a swing-dance banana.)

I have a Prima disk and it jumps! I also liked him as the voice characterization of King Louie in Disney's "Jungle Book."

Okay, Bill. This is starting to get old. Nice every once in a while, but it's been on heavy rotation recently.  |

New Orleans favorite son Louis Prima was just named the subject of the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (Jazzfest) Poster. The artist is a guy named Anthony Benedetto, but you might know him as Tony Bennett. |

Not his best, but Louis Prima makes one feel good. There's something to be said about that. Who can not feel good about "King Louis" singing in the Jungle Book?

"You gotta come inside, let me teach you how to jive and wail. First you gotta jump, jive, then you wail."
No disrespect, Mr. Prima, but I don't know that this requires instruction...
