Personally, really like it, love the video too - it's one of those songs you can't get out of your head for the rest of the day when you hear it. But what are the best tunes to play with it..? I mean, do you aim at the older market and keep with the wartime theme (Vera Lynn!) or play it in a medium tempo dance/RnB set?

I love this track, first heard it when I bought the Basics album before Xmas. Went down well at the couple of bookings I have played it at recently.

Personally I love it, but didn't think it was anything I would ever play out (when the album first came out).

Until I had it requested at a late Christmas party (in January). I wasn't sure whether to play it, but as the night was going well, and the two girls requesting it were persistent, I decided to give it a go. At first it cleared half the floor and I was getting ready to move on, but slowly others got up to join those who stayed on the floor.

Now it's getting air play I wouldn't hesitate to play it with the right crowd. I'd take it out of any girly pop/R&B, and follow it with something fast in the R&B mould, such as Hey Ya!, or as a transition track into an uptempo girly party set (Toni Basil's Mickey for example).

I like it, its a cross between mambo number 5 and the war time sing along songs.

I have been playing this for the last couple of weeks and have put a small set together with :

Christina Aguilera: Candyman
Brian Setzer Orchestra: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Cherry Poppin Daddies: Jump Jive and Wail

goes down really well and it tends to work well towards the end of the evening. Always have a full floor so far!!!

What's that on? I thought I had all of their swing orientated stuff, wouldn't mind hearing that.
Thats entertainment
I just love this song (and the video is easy on the eye) its very clever and someone has put a lot of thought into making it
I was getting asked for it at christmas from the kids so i knew it must be good

I like it for work as it is fast and not the usual r&b/rap that gets the girlies dancing.Played it in the club last night and was the most popular song of the night for the Women who were dancing...I wont be playing it in the jeep to/from work tongue.gif

LOL, No, but my car is a 4x4. Still love the track though!

Normally it's quite easy to team a track up with a few others but I've spent the last hour trying to find something that works well with this one.

The closest I've got thus far is the Glen Miller Medley by the John Anderson Big Band.

For coming out of it with a genre change I've found that Blondie - One Way Or Another and Mambo No. 5 both work well.

Work In Progress..... smile.gif
