Title: OT-Late Xmas video
Post by: ironbut on December 29, 2011, 08:17:57 AM

Here's a fun swing video.
Please avert your eyes Xavier and don't take offense!
Bear in mind that this is a parody by a Czech swing band of the short films that Hollywood made in the the 1920's that was found on a Dutch swing site! (Whew,.. I hope I got all that right)

Wow,.. the "Bad Humor Man" is fantastic!
The transfer is excellent too.

The lyrics made me remember a guy I used to work with that we nicknamed "the bad attitude elf".
