My grandpa used to sing this to me, now I sing it to my little ones

[@FreshTillDeath56]

[@RosarioRodriguez420]

So proud of my Heritage I hope my kids will show theirs this kinda music 🇮🇹

[@51maryruth]

This was my Dad's favorite singer, we had this song played at his funeral service, he passed away December 28th 2010... Was 87, served 21 years in the United States Army, served in Korea, was the best and most fun Dad ever, I am thinking of him always but especially on this Father's day, I miss him dearly.. R.I.P. Joe Warrick...This song makes me smile and think of him

[@dukevalentino5967]

God Bless you and your father, he seemed like a good man.

[@gabespetit1006]

Mary Warrick - Your post hit me like a ton of bricks. Just like your Dad, my Dad was a Korean War veteran..and he worked for the Navy for 38 years. My Dad passed in 2015. Weren't our Dads great guys?! My Dad was strict as heck, but he was a good dude too. Danced like L.P. in "Just a Gigolo"- what a goober! May our two "salts" are tossing a few together in paradise. I pray to the God I love they are. Take care, Gabes

[@PROD.DEADBEAT]

This is great and made my day 😁

[@jean-paul7251]

Rip....separate cheques x

[@chenzenzo]

It's good you got to know him. My pop passed in 1983 at 31. I'm 41 now and so very thankful to be alive. I lost my virginity to this song on my own account. Tell ya right now, you talk about the wildest! Boooooyyyyyy! 😂❤

[@gabespetit1006]

I miss my parents.Til' the day they passed, they were 50's people and that was a good thing. I was born in '62, but I'm a '50's person too.Don't get me wrong, I tore it up in the '70's/'80's, but I have a hard time living in the current world. Too fast, impersonal, & unfriendly. I miss the simple pleasures in life. I thank God for my upbringing and for the old So.Cal. life my sainted parents gave me. Love Louis, Keely & Sam...baby!

[@johncaash7868]

I feel the same way

[@ericlilienfeld7273]

You're my dad's age. For what it's worth I don't feel like I belong in today' day and age either. You guys had it right and I wish you the best.

[@daimlerblanco4534]

I can't believe that some folks dislike this classic

[@tonyar952]

feins

[@treseancann1261]

They just have no taste in music.

[@jerryg50]

This is good quality music. No synthesizers or special effects sound. The composition and the writing of this type of music was original.

[@picklesthewise]

Funny and catchy! All of Louie Prima's music was like listening to pure happiness in song form.

[@Robert-rp4xw]

"ain't got no money, glass of plain water fo' me."

[@jzzr345]

Love his music ! Put's a smile on my face every time .I would have loved to have seen him and Keely Smith in Vegas back in the day .

[@KateLouise]

I'm a Jazz singer, and this just gave me a great idea for a Valentine's Day surprise for my baby :)

[@1mommas]

What an under valued genius talent, love his stuff, met him in Vega, wonderful host for his audiences. I'll bet he's playing first chair in the trumpet section in heaven.

[@Angelofexecution]

This is an absolutely wholesome song.

[@internetexplorer7097]

yesss

[@pepperwilliams4428]

I can hear a little of "Doxy" in this song. Great fun song! Louis Prima had so much soul and his beautiful wife Keely was gorgeous as well as super talented!!!

[@tomfairmusic]

SUPERB! One of the best old video clips ever. Louis... the King of the Swingers, and Keely with that great deadpan look. LOVE IT!

[@LoriDeMarco]

I grew up with this couple always playing in my house...my mom saw every show they did in Lake Tahoe and got to know them. She said they were great fun. It shows. I love this!

[@PhillipCreeper]

Great scene from a great movie. It is a shame they had to divorce because they were great together. Thanks for sharing!

[@davidsmith-vq2fh]

This is great music from a legendary artist.

[@pendragonU]

That was absolutely classy and plain delightful. Never better said making sound easy what is sophisticated as 'it'

[@davidgranner5292]

Great song. Catchy rhythm, clever lyrics. elements of blues and jazz - well done, indeed!

[@francisbtube]

Yup the music style is called Swing! A period of jazz (the best in my opinion) that spanned from 1920's to late 1940's!

[@dukevalentino5967]

Are sure this is swing? Isn't this an American standard

[@francisbtube]

American Standards can be many genres, like this which is Swing. it's just not as fast a melody as most Swing but you can still swing dance to it.

[@dukevalentino5967]

I'm talking about swing as a music style/genre. Not the dance, I think this song would go under American standards

[@francisbtube]

Let's agree to disagree, IMHO American Standards can be many genres, like this which is Swing.

[@CLAUDIA26MIAUX]

creo que este es el primer comentario en castellano, pues si es asi me alegro ser la primera latina o bueno mejor dicho sudamericana que lo hace, esta cancion es buena eh! la encontre de casualidad! y una de las canciones que tambien me gustan de esta pareja es hey boy hey gril!, cinco estrellas para estos videos!! muy agradecida.

[@TheJazzStreet]

[@inmage]

I REALLY LOVE this song. So much fun.

[@kailyjamessokame.6028]

My dad and I used to rock out to this.

[@DjavataRifyIT]

@luizoak The movie is Hey girl! Hey boy! (1959) :)

[@cartoonygothica]

Such an awesome singer! I could've sworn though, that he said only "banana split for my baby, a glass of plain water for me" in the song.

[@annamariaelias3706]

Wonderful Song 🎶💖💖

[@lilswimgurl1]

this was my Grandfather's favorite song >^-^< brings back so many memories!!!

[@ricardofrancis5056]

I respect and appreciate talent. This is one of my favourite Louis Prima song. He was an original and classic contributor. The Venting Vigilante.
