Do the Pup - Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums

Do the Pup - Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums
4:10
Come Out Swingin', 1998
Written by Steve Lucky?

Another in the gaggle of neo-swing bands that proliferated in the late 90s, Lucky and company deliver the authentic goods, but with a wink and a smooth-voiced croon.  They're like a cross between Cab Calloway and Seth MacFarlane.  It opens with a cool sax and then Lucky's rich vocal begins, talking about a new dance called the Pup.  Whoever's tickling the ivories here is shouldering a lot of the weight, but the whole band keeps the uptempo, jumping blues party vibe.
