Lyrics:
Who’s that whisperin’ in the trees
It’s two sailors and they’re on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin’ hands
Who’s your daddy? Yes I am
Fat cat came to play
Now he can’t run fast enough
You had best stay away
When the pushers come to shove
Zoot Suit Riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot Suit Riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
A whipped up jitterbuggin’ brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin’ up an eight-piece band
Cut me sammy and you’ll understand
In my veins hot music ran
You got me in a sway
And I want to swing you dove
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
You’re in a Zoot Suit Riot

wow this is a nostalgia trip. I was a 15 year old highschooler when the Big Band/Swing revival happened. Now I am 41, and I miss it and my youth. To live during the 90s were, to sum it up in one word: Magical.
I'm 15 now, listening to this classic.
Some things just don't die
18 and listening!
The swing revival of the 90s and early 2000s was a great time! I used to go out multiple times in a week to dance. I miss it so much!
Cheers to all you OG's jamming this in 23
‘24
fr im from around where they started out first heard them at 12 still reminds me of being young
In 2024.
Did you know what a zoot suit was? 😎
@mechcavandy986 to keep things simple it was a rebellious fashion statement by Hispanic people back in like the 30s and 40s.
Hell Yeah!!!!!!! Seen them in Concert!!!!!!!!!!!! It was Awesome!!!!!! Great Music 🎶🎶!!!!!!!! I'm 71 Still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!
Me as well right on
Have u heard Big Bad Voodoo Daddy?
I wish i would have known about swing music when i was much younger. I played trumpet in grade school and junior high. I was very good at it but got so bored if it. If i was exposed to this, id kept playing and tried to be in a band like this. When this came out i was already mid to late 20's. I was kicking myself in the ass for not staying with it. I loved this when it came out. Big bad voodoo daddy, squil nut zippers, lee presson and the nails. So much fun ! Still love it in 2023
Play it now.
That period in the late 90's with swing and ska both coming back in a big way was really special for horn players, no question. But the other reply is right: Nothing at all stopping you from picking up your axe and playing it, and there is still swing and jazz going on in all sorts of corners of the world because the music is just that good.
Your not dead yet
Wow. This is proof that the 90s music was the best Era of music! I'm a dancer, and I was sooo happy that other people learned to swing dance and lindy hop with me!!
You didn't grow up in the 60's, 70's, or 80's. If you had you wouldn't believe that. Lol
@@timfool😆 I had a similar thought.
I heard a guy sing this at karaoke once and it is still the best performance I have ever seen in my life dude had the dance moves down timing everything. 10/10 awesome song for karaoke
That's how they steal your gurls, just saying.
okay?...../
Was it in Michigan?
I was there he was incredible it was like Beatlemania 2.0
Pp bB
I was 13 when this song came out. It wasn’t until I was much older til I realized how hilarious their name is.
This name would not fly today 😂
@@BroForce426 yeah cuz a song named wap doesn't exist...
@@Kevin-ex2gf fine point 😂
I was 14 when this song came out and I remember saying their band name to my dad and he was so embarrassed, the way he always got when anything sexual would be brought up or come on tv or anything like that when we were around each other, and he just looked at me and said “don’t say that anymore! Do you even know what that means??! Of course you don’t know what that means do just don’t say it anymore….” Lol 😂 dads always get so awkward around their daughters when shit like that happens, now that I’m older it’s hilarious watching them tryna figure out how to navigate that extremely uncomfortable terrain lol and band names like the cherry poppin daddies doesn’t help much lmao 🤣
@@Kevin-ex2gf However that WAP song is from a 'strong black female' so the idea of Cherry poppin' white guys would be not accepted by the woke culture today.
I miss music like this!! This is just so much fun to listen to!!
GREAT POST TY SAME HERE !
this deserves more views tbh
It does.Great song.They started up in my home state,performed in my home town-Portland OR.I saw posters advertising their shows all over downtown.Great band.
There's a better video
This song sucks
My Dad, long dead, liked the music but said it was a little too fast for him 😄
I still listen to it to this day.
My dad had a zoot suit back in the 40's, he said it was pretty cool !
I used to change my daughter when she was a baby while singing this... She's 25 now and still LOVES this song!
Thank goodness! i thought you were going to say you were still changing her. 😮
“Honey where my cherry poppin daddies cd?! The baby wet her diaper again, I need it .” lol
Old skewel with a new twist-!! LOVE IT-!! Makes ya wanna get up n MOVE-!! ❤❤❤
Great songs that brings you back to a crazy time in music! This deserves so many more views. Only 570k in 2023 like and comment and get this back in the algorithm!!
This is not the original video. The original video is way better than this.
I lived in Eugene, OR in the 90s and these guys played monthly at the WOW Hall or John Henry's. It was always a good show and a great party. They were and extremely tight band and I've never seen a dance floor fill faster. Ferociously Stoned was a great album too.
I work with Danny (occasionally) and his partner in Eugene in entertainment still but not performance. These guys are good folks.
Saw these guys perform in Vancouver at the Vans Warpedfest Tour back in 1998 and they totally killed it--stole the show on a crazy fun day under gorgeous August skies there!
I think warped was early July 98. Cherry poppin daddies, Specials, Horton Heat, Deftones... maybe I’m remembering a diff show?
Damn it! I'm from Kelso but was in Texas then. I saw some amazing bands on 6th Street though 😎
I saw them in Milwaukee in June of 98. Fresh outta high school.
They are from the NW, down the road in Eugene
And now into 2024! Swing!
Hell yeah! 57 Yr Old Swing Cat here! Love it! Great tune, can't stop my body from moving to this sound bay bay, oh yeh! Thumpin' fretless bass and killer fills on the skins. . . perfect vocals/timing/sound! Please Sir, May I have more?
“Who’s your daddy? Yes I am” fkn sent me 😂
I saw these guys live 6 times. It was wild! what a time to be alive
I forgot how much everyone was into swing in the late 90s. 😂
I always appreciated the weird imagery of this video being a 90s kid at this time, the 90s was truly a time when it's hip to be square to go to the 40s swing genre.
The weird imagery, some of it, is New Orleans Voodoo inspired.
The 90s might have been the last decade to display such varied genres of music. AND it was a time, albeit briefly, when Oregon bands were hitting the charts: Eugene, Oregon's Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and Everclear, a band that hails from Portland.
Like fashion things go and come back. It just takes one younger person to actually explore the chests in the basement.
I think 90s is best music. Most quality attached with most variety!
youd like tally hall

He had the "Scat" down perfect. I always come back to this tune when I'm in a certain mood!
This is not the original video from the 90s. Still good tho. Check out the original video and tell me which one you think is better. 🤔 Video or no video. One of the best songs ever in my opinion
Heard this song on the radio back when it came out so I went home and ordered the album. Loved it! The whole album was fire. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys this song.
If you love the song, you'll love the history behind the "Zoot Suit Riots" of the 1940's
@fortwintee1 who gives a crap about that?
Still listen to these guys on occasion throughout the years... they are more than just the Swing revival stuff. Very eclectic sound of swing, jazz, rockabilly, rock, punk, ska, americana, soul
Not the original video from the 90s. Still good tho. One of my favorites
Uh... ok... no offense, but what does your comment have to do with mine from 10 months ago? I am aware there is another video for Zoot Suit Riot, but this is the one I am most familiar with as with a lot of people. @@ChelseaAllen-sx5xv
This might be the most lit song ever. I'm 15 and very glad I don't listen to the "popular" music of today💀
Check out Streetlight Manifesto, start with "We Will Fall Together"

Yes, kids. For about 8 months in 1997/1998, Swing music was all over the radio and twentysomethings were actually going out to learn swing dancing.
Hadn’t thought of this song in AGES! Loved it so much! This brought so many good memories back 💕
I haven't heard this song since I was a teen in high school. It came on the radio during the 4th of July and now it's stuck in my head. Damn you, Cherry Poppin Daddies!
Cherry Poppin Daddies......band names you can't use anymore 😂
This song was once performed live on *Nickelodeon* of all networks during _The Big Help-a-Thon_ in 1998, right when _Zoot Suit Riot_ was hot on the charts. Every instance of "beer" in the lyrics was muted out during the broadcast, but the guys in charge of the dump button weren't always on-time. Some times, the dump button was pressed too early, while other times, the dump button wasn't pressed for long enough.
@@drewzuhosky6826they were just simpler times 😂
you couldnt use it then really
The ska punk era of the 90's was truly unique. Don't expect anything this creative or original to ever happen again.
The re-emergence of Horn based music came to prominence from the mid 90's and onwards... ska, swing, and then Latin-pop was quite a progression
This is not the original video from the 90s. Still good tho. . Love this song.
@@ChelseaAllen-sx5xv What is the original video from the 90's?
Ah, you never know!
That just says to me you aren't digging deep enough. Or by creative and original you actually mean "that I like quite as much"
If you want weird fusion genres of the modern day go dig up some bridge city sinners or amigo the devil.
Perhaps some synth jazz like stargazer. Or big band folk like bellowhead.
The best swing revival band from the 90's. All the others were too serious, except the Squirrel Nut Zippers perhaps.
Big bad voodoo daddy is another good band Big bad voodoo daddy.
@@eromicafrancisco5477 Yes, great choice
Squirrel Nut Zippers can match this vibe, dound anyone else can.
I can't believe I first heard this song the summer of 1998...25 years ago. Egad.
Me too. But this is not the original video. Still good tho
This is one of her best songs sung live before her death! Tysm for posting this. This is the real reason, we always love her, for her jazzy truth telling lyrics!! All the other videos I've seen on UA-cam have been so not her singing. Im glad this was posted because she was truly talented❤ RIP my lady🙏We still love you & your music!🤗❤️
Built a juke box last year and this song is now in it ...
I saw this video when I was 8 years old back in 1997. The song stuck with me because I remember the clown at 0:43. If not for that moment I might not have looked you guys up again 13 years later!
This is actually the second video for this song and it was released in 1998. Released in October 1997, the original video received minimal exposure, having aired only once on MTV as part of 12 Angry Viewers, a program in which twelve music fans critique a series of music videos, where it received almost unanimous disapproval.
The original video is on youtube.

I was born in the wrong century, love this song..
I grew up in the 90s. Best era ever. More into Alice in chains. And grunge music but this is one of the best songs ever🥰 check out the original video of zoot suit riot. This is not the original. Love both tho.
I just want a few nice suits. Is that too much too ask
It was hell being in middle school when this video came out. “Do YoU kNoW wHat ‘ChErRy PoPpIN mEAnS?’”
I feel old I was in 8th grade when this song came out and I loved it back then and still today
Man I dunno how this pops in my at least once a month for years and I go around singing it for days.
FasciNatinG 😅🎉😢😮😊😊😂😅
"Weird Al" Yankovic spoofed this song as Grape Fruit Diet!
And Al wrote actual lyrics for the scat middle 8: "no more pie now, no more creme brulee" 😂
This retro swing stuff was real popu;ar for a moment in late '98 to early '99.
probably around the time "the mask" was out
Like a lot of folks in the comments, i loved this song for its sound back in the day (and still do). It wasnt until i had actually read about the Zoot Suit Riots about 20 years ago that i realized the dark times this song is actually about.
I took three girls to my prom and we all walked in together and I was decked out in my zoot suit, hat and chain and everything, and this song was definitely playing in my head. It was 2004 and these were the halcyon days…
This song, done in instrumental only of course has long been a staple of our local high school's pep band. When my older daughter was a cheerleader there was a kid in the band who would wear a violently blue zoot suit and the two of them would swing dance while the band played.
I discovered this song in 2014 during college when I saw Urban Legend… as soon as I heard this song in the background I knew I found something epic. I grew up listening to Benny Goodman and was surprised to find out these guys formed in the late 80s/early 90s. Love it
This song is in the urban legend movie??
This is not the original. Check out the original video. Both are good tho. But I like the original video
One of those upbeat, catchy songs that have a depressing background
True, but turning a past negative into an ongoing positive is never a bad thing. ✌️
true it is based on a real incident between zootsuiters and american sailors during shore leave during ww2
This song was on one of my may NOW That's What I Can Music CD's back in the day. While my CD's are long gone, I appreciate the talent and music of this band. Thank you.
You know what's great about this video? It was directed by someone who directed porn. It's also the same guy that would, a couple years later, direct One Step Closer by Linkin Park.
@TheDuffyLONER64 ~ You sound like my son (born the same year as this video), he's got a freaky wealth of obscure, overlapping knowledge about music and movies.
This explains why the shots were so intimate
Yes, Greg Hippolyte Brown, aka Greg Dark. Very talented director.
Really love this song...so cool to listen to this stuf when I'm hotrodding around with my old vehicles.
When cherry Poppin daddies came out in the 1990s best song I ever heard I'm 59 years old love the song Alex
this style of dance should be in the Olympics
Outstanding song just heard this on the radio but never knew what the song was called until today. Totally love it!!!
Check out the original video. This is not the original 90s video. Still good tho. Love this song
this song is why I love jazz and swing dancing
I was the only person I knew listening to this in 1998 lol awesome!
We played this song in Grade 7 Big band, when I barely knew how to play the saxophone. This song got me hooked to playing in a jazz band
As of writing this I'm in 7th and just played this in a concert with clarinet 😅
Paging Todd in the Shadows, your presence is waiting... surprised he hasn't made a video on this one yet
Always nice to see a fellow Shadowdweller (or whatever he calls us fans).
The 1st time i heard this song, i was enjoying a night of Cosmic Bowling, and i got down to dancing and swinging
The drums go hard asf in this song
Just great music👌
This song keeps popping up in my brain lately
Throw back a bottle of beer😂
Their album was one of the 1st cds I ever bought. Great memories of my Sony diskman
Oooooooh yeah, I remember this
The dancers in that video were professionals! I've never seen anyone in a bar or concert dance like that!
When I was about 5, my father introduced me to this song. Once I hit high school I learned what the band's name meant. XD
I seen them in concert twice.. Both shows were like this video.. Same vibe and everything
A truly cool 5 minutes of the late 90's when this little handful of bands were into late 40's style swing and cigars and those zoot suits!
always loved these guys and i adore swing dancing,,, wanna do that so bad,,, but no one wants to do it,,, sad,, looks like such fun and a great workout to boot
My old neighbors! Those were the days!
This 1998 song was definitely AFTER its time. And that is a complement.
I remember when Bare Naked Ladies opened for Cherry Poppin Daddies at a venue in LA. I always imagined a high school girl asking her father for permission to see that show and being shut down every time.
I had many jobs where I had to wear a suit but I will tell you what zoot suits are beyond awesome!!!!WOW time to put yours on for New Years 2020!!!!!PARTY ON!!!!!!!
I didn't know it then; but this is based off a pretty horrific event that took place in the 40s. It was called Zoot Suit Riot. Look it up- then watch this video again. Crazy.
Love this song. The thing that impressed me the most when I first heard it was the bass player. I play bass and don't think I could handle this line. It's not that it is super fast or anything, but the guy's note choices are just crazy. And they fit perfectly. But nearly incomprehensible for my brain to get around that almost random walking he does. Very cool song.
I'm a drummer and their drummer is awesome. I really liked how he worked the Toms.
You're not kidding. I did the bass tab of Weird Al's parody Grapefruit Diet which itself doesn't follow note for note, and I'm still not satisfied with it. Not for the faint of heart that's for sure.
Great song, great band. A unique piece of Los Angeles history.
This is not the original video from the 90s. Check out the original video. Much better in my opinion. But I still love this video🥰
"Poop chute riot, boof a whole bottle of beer"
It's funny I'm 27 and prefer older music than any of tje newer stuff I love this song
My band and I have this song to play for our twirlers and at football games. Fire 🔥
At a campus nearby this swing dance is popular with the college crowd. My parents danced to swing bands at the waterfront clubs in Portland many decades ago.
...This song is about a 1943 Los Angeles race riot, that started with some sailors on furlough from World War 2 randomly attacking some latino kids for what they were wearing.
Zoot suits - using extra fabric to be very large, when the wartime effort needed all the resources it could get.
No excuse to start a riot, but when someone has been at sea for months, fighting, with no women around, they might be upset at others having a good time at home "now you know where your women come for love". Again, I am not condoning the attacks, but explaining why they occurred.
@skovner You left out an important detail: the kids were Mexican, their clothes had no bearing on the US military's logistics.
I can drink some beer 🍺 now 🎉😂❤😢😮😅😊🎉❤
My amazing ass dad showed me this, and I'm very happy
This song makes me want to jump, jive and wail
Remember this song???IT is time to put on the zoot suits for New Year''s and thow back a bottle of beer!!!!!!!!!Happy 2020!!!!! They look and ing awesome!!!!!!
This didn't age well
@@jordandunton3029 no it did not
Back when I was six years old, this was me and my fathers song, after he passed away I kind of stopped listening to it and just recently started listening to it again and I keep telling myself why did I ever stop?
Also squirrel nut zippers and big bad voodoo daddy
Where are bennys clits o ring
this is a riot to listen too-wish they had clubs here n dallas playing this -- exciting it is
Ah, the swing revival! What memories!
Man, the 90s were fun.
The song was written in 1997 but there actually were zoot suit riots. Since 1943 it’s been illegal to wear a zoot suit in LosAngeles. It’s not enforced anymore. They were racially motivated attacks by U.S. military men on black and Hispanic males who were wearing zoot suits. Finally the servicemen were confined to base and wearing zoot suits was made illegal.
Back in the day I caught these guys as an opening act at a club in Georgetown. I instantly fell in love and bought this record and played until it wore out. Actually, I think it was a cassette lol
What I didn't realize is that there really was a zoot suit riot. In 1943 a group of U.S. sailors marched through downtown Los Angeles carrying makeshift weapons and attacked anyone wearing a zoot suit. The violence lasted nearly a week!
They were racially motivated attacks first and foremost, look it up.
Aw jeez, can't save this to a playlist? It's a riot!
This is a true story. Crazy.
Yup....1940s riots by the military on Latinos in L.A. .....over Zoot Suits snh
There needs to be a 4k version of this video on UA-cam, and I’ve already tried
This is not the original video from the 90s. Check out the original
They play those instruments so well too, it is such an art!!!!💝🤑😊💞💚♥️❣️💯🍕💋👍💌🌹💪🍰🐅
All that talent!!!🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🏆💚❤️
Grapefruit diet, throw out the pizza and beer
Awesome song! I love it!!!!
these guys and squirrel nut zippers should have hooked up and did an album together. Brought this music style back
Reminds me of The Flyin Lindy Hopper's "Monsters of Swing" events in Ventura back in the day...
