Got it? Good. Have a great weekend, folks.
“Should” is the operative word here. How a woman “does” walk shall be left for a future discussion. [Found here.]

Before you click on that first video, I gotta tell you something. Bunkarina sent it to me from the living room last night. Although I recognized the song immediately, I couldn’t name it or identify the original artist, let alone date it correctly. Had I been betting, I would have lost my shorts.
Now THAT is how to ask a girl to Senior Prom. Had I only known.
Hey Baby. On the beach.
In the rec hall. From the comments: Ha! – check out :34 – :36, looks like she’s popping her head in the door and thinking about being your girl!
DJ Ötzi’s version is cool, too.
That’s Bruce Channel and Delbert McClinton in 2003. Channel wrote it in 1959, recorded it, and it became a No 1 Hit in 1962.
50 years later, it’s still a hit for a high school prom invitation, and that makes me smile. Have a great weekend folks. See you back here tomorrow, when I will explain why “boobs” is now in the tagline.
Even though it looks like a hoax, it makes me sad – no respect.
Yeah Daddio, Blackboard Jungle, 1955. Not much has changed since then, and they busted 78s in that movie, too. On the other hand, it introduced Bill Haley & The Comets, redefined them from rockabilly into rock and roll.
“Groovie Movie” short from 1944 – How to Jitterbug. Pay attention – there’s some hot stuff there, but nothing beats the Slim Slam Allstars.
Slim Galliard (piano, guitar) and Slam Stewart (bass) from the 1941 movie Hellzapoppin’. Killer stuff, that. Yeah, we posted it before, but so what. It’s great, especially because the clip begins with a tribute to jazz that was still popular just a few years prior.
Have a great weekend, folks, and tell your mom Bunk said Happy Mothers Day.
Obviously some are better at it than others, and yes, I think that’s Al Franken in the middle leading the group.

Welcome current & former members of The Bison Glee Club!
Here’s a photo key for anyone who wants to identify individual choir members. Click on it to view full size.
Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears ” Sugarfoot.” Pure retro soul/funk.
The Bamboos, live at Revolver 2006. I recognize the song but don’t know the name.
Rufus Thomas, live at Wattstax 1972, with “Breakdown.”
That’s a wrap for a late post, and enough funk R&B and soul to hold you until tomorrow (or not). Have a great weekend.
