I like pretty much everything Louis Prima did. Others do too, obviously. A post I did called Those Horny Italians has over 1600 page views. I may have been the first to post that version of "Zooma Zooma Baccala" on YouTube.

Whenever I see old photos of Louis Prima in a Hawaiian shirt with Keely Smith I imagine them to be Mr. and Mrs. Trooper York.

I agree Chick - I love Louis Prima. He was going to do an album with Peggy Lee in the early 50s but the suits stopped it for some reason. Too bad.

Keely Smith has a real "dear in the headlights" look in that video

Prima was fantastic in "The Jungle book" - great chemistry with Phil Harris. Their 'scat' singing in the movie was completely ad-libbed.

I meant "dear with the headlights"

I only saw "Jungle Book" a couple times when y were much younger. Their favorite was "Robin Hood" which was accompanied by Roger Miller. It's cool how Disney picked American artists to feature songs in each of his movies.

OK, "y" are my dependent variables.
