Favorite Swing/Jive songs?

[mamboqueen]

Wow! Can't believe someone else has heard "Aint got no home". I love that song. Generally not known for dance music, but The Best of the Band is a wonderful CD!

I like just about all swing music. My brain needs some time to come up with a few that I really like. But, for the most part, I like almost all big band music.

Now it's time to compile a list of good east/west coast swing and jive songs to practice to!

Well, it isn't strictly Jive, since it's got weird breaks in it, but I ADORE the song "Asereje" by Los Hijas Del Tomate from the CD entitled "Ketchup" I believe....

They use this as a Samba song. At least around here they do

I totally blame this thread for my latest "favorite song to annoy the neighbors"

I had to hear LetKiss as you were saying how great it was.... now I have it on repeat all day long, even my 3 year old is singing the "dub dub dubi dubi dub" :lol: :lol: :lol:
