Oh, I gets it. Someone has defined "swing song" as any song someone swing dances to.
1999 all over again. Specious premises rule!
The thread title should be "What is the Worst Song You Ever Heard of Someone Swing Dancing To?"
*This is why I have no friends.

It was quite unfortunately played at a swing dance, and the DJ came running up to me to tell me how great a swing tune he thought it was. ugh.

At least it wasn't Zoot Suit Riot. I've always despised that tune.

Detroit Swing City is suuuchhh CRAP! Holy moley! hahaha But then again, I've never been much of a proponent of the neo-swing (blues inspired, I might add) movement... gimme some of that old timey music!

Hahah! That is soooo wrong! They can't be THAT bad... but then again, I've never heard them in person.
