16. A nice change from all the high and falsetto voices most women - except Jo Stafford - sang with...
and Patsy Cline.

4. Louis Prima is evidence
that there may actually be a Supreme Being of some sort.

Did'ja know he wrote "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)," the greatest song in history?

12. I must be
I can't think of another reason why this music — and other things about the '30s and '40s, but mostly the music — makes me feel this way.

14. Didn't even know about that one
Those kids don't have the same abandon, the joie de vivre of the Swing Kids, though. The guys see dancing as a way to get laid. The Swing Kids saw it as getting laid with your clothes on, which is what it is.

Amazing, though — Heather Graham (Lorraine) is a ringer for Tushka Bergen (Evie in "Swing Kids.")

15. Yeah, I'll agree. Swingers isn't about the dancing and music
like Swing Kids was.

Here's some abandon for you...

Brian Setzer Orchestra is themost authentic "new" swing, I think...
