Probably my favourite song of yours to date! Superb in all aspects, but outstanding is the lead solo and Janice's vocals, particularly the scat! 101%, 11 out of 10!
PS: "verbal sounds that aren't actually words" are called vocables. Most if not all cultures have used them going back thousands of years. Some I class as offshoots of Ancient Gibberish (the intuitive 'language' of the Ancient Gibberites, now called by archaeologists Neanderthals - pfft!) such as Navajo and Apache vocables like "heya-neya-yanga-heya" and such; then scat and such (Pre-Modern or Modern Gibberish?) like "boo-boob-she-bob-bob-arama-langa-ding-dong" (sometime confused with "boo-boob-she-Bob-Dean-aramalaga ding-dong") and "hey-bob-aree-bob" (also how some folk greet Bob Dean); and then there's the Middle Gibberish, which I'm not keen on, such as "fala-lala-la" and "hey-nonny-no" (I mean, what's that about?). I'll stop there or I'll babble on about how great the Ancient Gibberites were - they taught the later arising and smaller-brained humans everything they knew (how to use fire, plant crops, how to make tools, what's now called haute cuisine, etc, etc), then as an ice age began and the humans were crap hunters they bit by bit ate all of the Gibberites! Pfft and triple pfft! … I'll shut up now. Thanks for the nice comments about the video. Glad you liked it. And man your narrative on the history of scatting is laugh out loud hilarious. Creative and extremely amusing. We each read it several times. Gonna share it with some friends who would appreciate it! J&B

It's nice to listen to a song that isn't scatological.  I think I remember listening to this, and it is just as enjoyable the second time around. You have incredible resolution on your video.

Hi, J&B. Fun video! Based on the shot of the house, I'm guessing the color of the back door is... blue?  Good to see your music on the car's playlist.
