Today i am 98 years old, maybe my body doesn't support me a lot but this song still makes me want to dance and enjoy every beat with fresh moves.

Delightful as always.

[@averyeml]

It doesn’t sound great when I say this but I mean this in the best possible way- I like how this feels super simple and un-flashy, as much as a big band cover of a pop song can be. I love full-out PMJ but sometimes I like these ones where it’s just pure vocals and the instruments, without long dance breaks or five backup singers.
