Humbug. I quite like some versions (Timi Yuro's, for example)
Of course - if you really want to plum the depths, have you ever heard the
Oleg Skripka version?

Hehehe. Yeah, him. I just felt compelled to make the Blazing Saddles joke.

I don't consider that a side benefit. Bad taste in music is a huge turn off.

The opening 2 plus minutes of Mars! The Bringer of War from Gustav Holst's symphonic masterpiece The Planets Suite. It was faded into an Andrews Sisters number.
The laptop owner explained he used it to build energy and a sense of excitement on the previously empty dance floor.

Far less painful yet far more effective alternative would have been to construct a thermo-nuclear power station on the dance floor.

I guess nobody can complain that Holst wasn't using a BIG band...
Just.. wow.

The Andrews Sisters, an unfortunate way to ruin a symphony.

I like the idea, maybe just a little too theatrical. Sounds great for a Sci-Fi film though

Fire away!
I came across this while browsing swing MP3's on Amazon:
SWING CAT
If you have to listen to 1 track, make it "Jump Swing And Jive"

Never before has an argument been won so emphatically. Completely, utterly, totally cringeworthy.

Wow, that sounds like 80's synth recorded in a bathroom...
