thanks for posting these Kat - the 2006 video cracks me up because the tag is "Kevin and Carla swing dance" and I see neither Kevin nor Carla, and a bunch of Korean characters in the back - any idea where this was filmed?kitkat wrote: late 2006, mid-tempo
So I looked for either you or Giselle on youtube/google but didn't see anything handy. Do you have any videos you'd care to share with us?GuruReuben wrote:I am the premier jank expert on this forum.

hmmmmmmmm. tough question. not sure if swing is at the right comparison level. - it's jank vs. groove I think Froggy Bottom is jank AND swing. as compared to Diana Krall being swing AND groove; no jank there.sonofvu wrote:Is Andy Kirk's Froggy Bottom jank, swing, or a combination? The song starts out jank and then swings hard.
That's why I'm always so hesitant to spin that tune. The "swing" element makes me almost play it at a dance full of non-janky-taste dancers to whom I want to introduce a lot of "swing" sound, but the "jank" element keeps me from actually playing it!djstarr wrote:hmmmmmmmm. tough question. not sure if swing is at the right comparison level. - it's jank vs. groove I think Froggy Bottom is jank AND swing ...sonofvu wrote:Is Andy Kirk's Froggy Bottom jank, swing, or a combination?

The only reason for not spinning it at least twice per night is the SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sound that can be heard throughoutkitkat wrote: That's why I'm always so hesitant to spin that tune.
