Take 'Em Joe

Kid Kasino (2014)

Have I posted any Kid Kasino before? This is Kid Kasino's ElectroSwing remix of a 1939 record called "A-Well-a-Take-'Em-a-Joe (Crap Shooter's Jive)" performed by Slim Gaillard and his Flat Foot Floogee Boys. Gaillard wrote and sang it. The animation here is by Phil Doza. I assume that's also remix art from some old 1920s animated cartoon.

This Little Icky Went to Town

Will Bradley and his Orchestra, featuring Ray McKinley (1940)

I was listening to GI Jive yesterday when GI Jill played a request for Will Bradley's "Fry Me Cookie, with a Can of Lard." It's a pretty good record, but I like this one better. This is boogie-woogie-influenced swing.

I'm Living In A Great Big Way

Got a snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
As the elephant say
I'm livin' in a great big way

Got a handful of nothin'
And I watch it like a hawk
Well I'm doin' OK
I'm livin' in a great big way

I'm the salt in the ocean
I'm the sun in the sky
I'm a Franklin D. Roosevelt
I'm a million dollars
Long as I've got a

Snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
Got the devil to pay
I'm livin' in a great big way.
