When I See An Elephant Fly?
I'm looking for "When I See an Elephant Fly". I have a couple of Disney versions that have some talking (ala Dumbo) and some lindy tempo music but the cuts are only maybe a minute and a half long and a Charlie Spivak version that is almost too "whitebread". Any other versions out there?
Re: When I See An Elephant Fly?
i didn't know that was a song title. I thought you were commenting on the thread about djing while drinking. Namely, when you know you've had too muich to drink and it's now time to start playing all fast lindy.Lars wrote:I'm looking for "When I See an Elephant Fly".

It's a song title, I played one of the short versions I have last night at Hot Water (Very late) and people applauded at the end, wierd?CafeSavoy wrote:i didn't know that was a song title.

Once again, no where near reality nor comedy.

If he was actually funny, I wouldn't mind it. When you're attempting to poke fun at someone, it at least has to be some what based in reality... otherwise, it just plain isn't funny.

Hi Tom,
I've got the Charlie Spivak version and I found one by Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen but the endearing charm of the old Disney version is just not there. The choral group (The Hall Johnson Choir) that did the Disney version is what really makes it for me. On another subject, when are you gonna come visit us at Hot Water some Thursday? You can guest a spot if you want to.
