Are You Hep to the Jive? (Yas, Yas) 🦶🏽

One of the best cartoons ever made. Max Fleischer rotoscoped Cab Calloway's moves into Koko the Clown, not enough "o"s in smooth for the performance. Amazing. https://youtu.be/8r-6_EBw6T8

"Minnie the Moocher" is a #jazz song co-written by American musician #CabCalloway and first recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his #bigBand orchestra, selling over a million copies. "Minnie the Moocher" is famous for its nonsensical #adLibbed lyrics, also known as #scatSinging (for example, its refrain of "Hi de hi de hi de ho"). In performances, Calloway would have the audience.

Apparently, Cab Calloway wanted his “updated” DIsco version of “Minnie the Moocher” (listen to it here: https://youtu.be/AvzMAFraMEA?si=U0ST_vEPWLdtbGy0) to be in the film but the producers & everyone else wanted the school style.

Cab Calloway ha un'energia impressionante. Esegue passi di danza sfrenati durante le parti strumentali dell'orchestra, e poi attacca a cantare a piena potenza, senza mostrare alcuna fatica.

BTW if you’ve never listened to Cab Calloway’s late 70s disco version of “Minnie the Moocher” (https://youtu.be/AvzMAFraMEA?si=WZc5vK22BAylg1TM) I fully recommend that you do. It’s a pretty good time

For my second pick I debated going with Louis Armstrong's 1928 version of St. James Infirmary Blues, but I like Cab Calloway's version recorded a couple years later a little better. And the Betty Boop cartoon that features it is slightly bonkers.
I swear if it wasn't for my childhood self devouring old cartoons - especially MGM and Bugs Bunny - it would've been *years* before I discovered a lot of music. 😆

Just because I saw this shared elsewhere and yes, I've seen it before, and you've possibly seen it before too, but why wouldn't you take five minutes to watch the truly unbelievable levels of dancing skills of the Nicholas Brothers with the great musical accompaniment from Cab Calloway and his band any time you get a chance?
