But I’ll be darned if I can pinpoint the style. It’s kinda Dixieland, sorta jazzy. What is it, exactly?
Does anyone know more about this song?
It is by the Squirrel Nut Zippers and received a fair amount of airplay when it was originally released.
Yeah, the song is called “Hell,” and it is on the Squirrel Nut Zippers’ album Hot! , and also The Best Of Squirrel Nut Zippers. They were popular when swing music made a trendy and too-short comeback in the late ‘90s, along with bands like Royal Crown Revue, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
Hey, thanks you guys.
I’d wondered if it was actually an old song but something about the production didn’t quite fit. I should have remembered the Second Coming of Swing - I love that stuff!
