Some good ol' down and dirty jukebox EC Swing.
|
| Eenie, Meenie, Miny, Moe, Holiday Band
Album: Let's Swing Vol 2
Great sound that grabs ahold of you on the first beat
|
| Pick Up The Phone, Swingerhead
Album: Mad Hot Ballroom
Single swing, lindy, east coast or jive-this song works for all of them

Not too fast, not too slow-just right for triple swing
|
| Holiday, Green Day
Album: American Idiot
Link to Demo Track
Great lyrics, and a chance to dance to Green Day.
|
| Moondance, Van Morrisoon
Album: The Best of Van Morrison
Great tempo and great sound-dj's always have it if you are at a wedding and they are only playing disco or techno
|
| Everybody's Talkin' About Miss Thing, Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
I only chose ECS because there is no Lindy Hop option, it really sounds like a lindy to me
|
| How Sweet It Is, Michael Buble
This version is great for ECS, while the James Taylor original is a classic Carolina Shag
|
| I Love A Rainy Night, Eddie Rabbitt
Again, unconventional, but it's got great bounce to it
|

Album: Crime Jazz: Music in the First Degree

Swingin' Crime-Jazz at it's finest!
|
| None Of Them Knew They Were Robots, Mr. Bungle

Very high-speed swing/jitterbug tune from another dimension altogether! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Think King Crimson meets The Stray Cats.

Tony swings like mad!
