For some reason, they played a concert at the same suburban Pittsburgh high school each year. Great music, and my Dad's favorite swing band. As an adult, my S.O. and I have made the trip up to the Cleveland Flats to see both Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the Squrrel Nut Zippers. Good swing music never gets old.

As noted the song was composed by Louis Prima. But the recording artist was Benny Goodman. This version of Sing, Sing, Sing. was arranged by Jimmy Mundy. Often known as Sing, Sing, Sing (With Christopher Columbus). Because it contained many of the riffs from Chu Berry's composition Christopher Columbus which was recorded by Fletcher Henderson. It is the addition of these riffs that sets this version apart from anything Louis Prima did with it.

In the early 90's I was in my early thirties and hung out with folks that like to ballroom dance. One of the places we went was an old VFW hall where seniors would host mixer dances. The seniors had their own band. The crowd was 3 to 5 decades older than us, but we always had a ball. It wasn't as rowdy as this video, but the folks were happy to have us be involved and were very gracious. Around the same time, our group would also go to contemporary bars with bands, but that wasn't nearly as fun as the VFW hall and the seniors.

There are many reasons I love this heartbreaking movie, but I'll only talk about the happy reasons evident in this scene :) I love how real it is. Modern swing dancers often unfortunately have a ballroom sterility to their dancing as it's gotten so standardized, but this scene gets everything right. The chaos, the disheveled clothing, the raw energy and vivacity of dancing as a means of enjoyment and not technicality. There's a jubilation, and frankly a sexual energy, to the dancing in this scene that I think is the closest to how swing music actually made people feel when they were hearing it for the first time. Dancing is about being in touch with your body and letting the feeling of moving to music take you out of your head, and this scene captures that better than any other dance scene in a movie.

What is really cool about this dancing is we get to see a Young Batman (Christian Bale) do the jitterbug!🤣

My Mother taught me how to jitterbug (her term) when I was very young - 4 or 5? Anyways, she gave me a love for both dance and music, as they go pretty much hand in hand. This gave me a big advantage over the other guys that didn't know how or were afraid to hit the dance floor, when it came time for the inevitable school dance. Never was a "hit" w/ the ladies, but I always had a good time at those dances, thanks to you, Mom. RIP

Holy Jumping Geez....it's so good I could eat it. That ripping of chords at the end of phrases, the drums, the 'hits' and snaps of the horns never ever fails me. My mother won many jitterbug contests during WWII to this tune....

When people dance their happy. When people are happy there's less war. When there's less war, there are more happy people. The world needs more dancing.

If there were no wars and murders ever, the world would have been overpopulated thousands of years ago and humankind would have never lived long enough to make it to this time.Culling in every form of life is a truth. All forms of life on this planet also practice culling. ...but yea I dance on............
