That was really neat!  :)

There was another one with lyrics too in case you didn't see it.

Wow.  Great song and very very cool video.

I'd never heard of that group.  I spent about 30 minutes listening to 4 of their songs.  I think I heard all four about four times each.  They are really good.  That singer could sing Elvis Costello songs almost perfectly if he wanted.  I like his voice.

Oddly, I did not buy this song way back when I posted the video......I was telling My daughter about the Fred Astaire clip from the actual movie and how the effect was produced. That reminded me of this great tune, but I couldn't recall the name of the song or the group....thank god I put it here!

Yeah, that is so good.  :)

Man, Fred Astaire could dance eh? Weirdly, I was listening to him at work on Google Play Music. He could sing too.  :D

When I was a kid, I only really knew who he was through the perennial Christmas fave "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town", where he voiced the mailman narrator. What a multi-talented dude he was...
