Swing Dancing to Bill Haley and the Comets (1956)

My Girlfriend has just launched an online vintage and Swing fashion clothing store. I have been having such a great time doing some photo shoots for her. Check it out here: www.SwingCandy.com

I think it is a great looking store, and she does carry pretty high quality items too.

Aren’t you sick of this song yet? good! here is another version. As a kid I’ve always liked cartoons specially this one. Heaven knows I still do! I must say the way she sways around and treats all the men like puppies is kinda cute!

Another version of this song, this time with Benny Goodman. Peggy Lee is so cute in both videos. I just love that song!

You had plenty of money in 1922.
You let other women make a fool of you.
Why don’t you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

You’re sittin down and wonderin what it’s all about.
If you ain’t got no money, they will put you out.
why don’t you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Now if you had prepared 20 years ago.
You wouldn’t be a wanderin now from door to door.
Why don’t you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Why don’t you do right, like some other men do?

As we dance to a beat that seems out of time,
to the one you feel in the metronome of your mind

Does it offend you that our rhythm looks strange?
or causes your thinking to be rearranged?

Could it be that you would understand those beat to which we dance
more clearly had you been given a chance

So as you struggle to find the feel with your feet
Ask yourself! Can you dance to my beat?
