pdm Feb 27, 2012 - 10:10 | I discovered about a week ago that climbing hills on my bicycle is much quicker and easier if I'm listening to swing. In this case it was Benny Goodman Sing,Sing,Sing (on CBC radio 2). Hmmm, I wonder if disco would work? Never mind, I'm not willing to find out. |

The Los Straitjackets version is shorter and has more dynamics. You should try the live version from 1938.
