1997 compilation album by Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Factsheet
My local swing scene here has a kind of tradition to play this song on birthday jams. Other than that, it is not a song DJs often play.
But recently we had some negative feedback from an international dancer that the song is not swing and we shouldn't play that on parties.
On a side note, during this year's herräng week 4, at the one of the daily meetings, this particular song was mocked for being played instead some other songs.
What I like to know is, other than the drum parts alongside, since I hear good shuffle rhythms and feel good energy when hearing this in total, the reason that so called swing scenes or personas keep themselves from this song (or band) apart is, simply, what?
I thought maybe a political reason since the zoot suit riots have a negative influence on 40's america, but I am not sure.
What are your opinions?
