A buddy of mine who knows I like Big Band and Swing music sent me a link to a YouTube video. It's Christina Aguilera doing a song called "Candy Man". It's straight out of WWII and she plays all the "Andrews Sisters", she's the Jive dancer, she's the Pinup dancer, she's the girl at the counter. It's extremely well done. If you like Swing and Jive, take three minutes and check this out:

If you like this stuff, I found a couple of other links to bands that play this kind of music.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Zoot Suit Riot

And last but not least, check out Bette Midler doing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy live. Try to sing that one and do all the dancing at the same time!

I usually find the videos are lame, but it's a good way to check out music that you might not be familiar with. If you love a horn section, you'll enjoy these toe-tappers. |
