I’m showing my age. This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. An all-time classic.

Benny Goodman, “Sing Sing Sing”:

Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra had a hit in 1936 with an earlier (but not the original) version of “Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)!” The lyrics make references to hits of the day, such as Riley & Farley’s “The Music Goes ‘Round and ‘Round” and Cab Calloway’s 1931 hit “Minnie the Moocher.” Listen to it here:
