Seth MacFarlane - Ain't That a Kick in the Head

"Ain't That a Kick in the Head" written in 1960 by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen. Wonderfully performed by Seth MacFarlane and The John Wilson Orchestra. The song was originally performed by Dean Martin and featured in the 1960 movie "Ocean's Eleven".

[@RaiderNic99]

I love that people judge Seth based on Family Guy. So many people are clueless as to how talented and intelligent he really is. He's one of the people who pretty much made Fox bring back an incredible show called Cosmos, which is hosted now by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who is a pupil of the late and great Carl Sagan.

[@JaxReads]

Absolutely. He also supported the Writers Guild strikes, is still supporting equal marriage across the US, and is genuinely an absolutely amazing person. So, some people don't like some of the humour in Family Guy? That's their problem, not Seth's.

[@LtPowers]

"I love that people judge Seth based on Family Guy." Considering that's both his most successful and most visible venture to date, why wouldn't they?

[@arcobow97]

Yeah, Seth is really cool. But, he can be a bit of an asshole sometimes. Regardless, he's hilarious.

[@AlternativeSack123]

Even though Family Guy is garbage now, Seth Macfarlane is a very talented guy.

[@plattrum8396]

[@theimp5901]

He does a great job. Keeping this music alive. Super multi talented but like Harry Conick they just don't have the chops. I mean you've set yourself up to be compared to Frank, Nat, Dino, Bennett ! No one compares to these guys.

[@SergioVellatti]

Kudos to Seth. No floor monitors or rhythm section in sight for pitch reference and he's standing inches from a roaring orchestra.

[@tallthinkev]

No rhythm section? Drums, bass and guitar, they don't count?

[@SergioVellatti]

Touchy? I think my 8 year old comment was complimenting him on the fact that he was (seemingly) without monitors and so far away from the rhythm section.

I feel like he can fit into the category of people like John Pizzarelli and others that are keeping the magic of singing swing music or Jazz in general alive and well as the saying goes. Thanks to people like him he's keeping the interest in Jazz alive for people around my age or younger because thanks to him he has reintroduced people to Jazz that otherwise wouldn't have had exposure and probably wouldn't have gone on to discover other wonderful people in this genre.
