TIL that Sing, Sing, Sing wasn't actually written by Benny Goodman; it has vocals; and the version I'm accustomed to actually isn't the famous 1938 concert (which now that I've heard it, it sounds absolutely amazing as well).

I'm wondering if any modern bands have covered it...

@darthnull took me a minute to realise you weren't talking about the Travis song

[usbtypesteve@infosec.exchange]

@darthnull The Chips Ahoy song??!?

[darthnull@infosec.exchange]

@USBTypeSteve I don't remember any Chips Ahoy song... it's an old jazz / swing standard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_E0UVNtJ9Y

@gsuberland I've never even heard of Travis.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@darthnull oh you'll almost certainly have heard something by him. he's one of those artists you kinda forget exists. was popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.

@darthnull It was sarcasm. The song was used a lot in the 90s for Chips Ahoy commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqspHpiKrHA

@USBTypeSteve huh. I don’t remember that one at all.
