This style of big band music was an early item that became rock music. There are several early band members in the HOF who are there under the early influence category
Though the movie "1941" is a comedy it includes an excellent look at Big Band Swing music as it then was. It also well depicts how, with no TV, broadcasting live radio from ball rooms was a major form of home entertainment. I live in a California university town that took big to the Swing Revival. The owner of Mother's went as far as forming his own 14 piece Swing band which took three stages to hold. With his leading the singing & intense movements, every Thursday night was like an earthquake had hit. Not only were students "getting down" with period correct clothing and dance steps, the old timers came out for one more time around. Though they no longer threw each other threw the air, there was more than one white-haired couple who proved they could still "cut a mean rug". Though the revival only lasted a few years, what a recorded legacy they left!
This is a cover. I've heard the original. This one is an homage to a great big band of the past. It's easy to see how a number of them like Louis Jordan are in the Rock HOF as early influences. I hope the Daddies will be going the rest of their lives.
@@joestephan1111 Who did that original that you heard? Note that Steve is credited for writing the song, although it also quotes bits of several swing era classics.
All aboard! Eins, zwei, drei, vier! Well, the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line Had a thing for the ladies for which he did time He reaped a little more than he could sow Of the pleasures the Mormons in Utah know He could not restrain himself when he saw a nice caboose Say ding (ding!) Say dong (dong!) That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong The Ding Dong Daddy had a sensual soul Lonely women flocked to him and he loved them all The train went in the tunnel, in the dark he proposed The bonds of matrimony in the sweetest prose The ladies got together and decided they'd been had This ain't Salt Lake and you ain't Don Juan, man We gotta give you credit, we was happy for a time But you're the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line Say ding (ding!) Say dong (dong!) That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong
I found out about cherry poppin daddies and the legend of the ding dong daddy from a rollerblading video in 1997 called video groove 6: toys beneath our feet. good times.
I just made me a YT video compilation of all the songs that I liked from the VG6 tape. Thank god for the music credits at the end of the film. Golden times indeed…
This is fantastic! I didn't know about the modern swing/big band revival, it's awesome! The film noir in the video is a nice touch. Very well produced and tight!
Since the "Q-Line" made it's debut open in Detroit, Michigan, city known as "The D" now, I think of that city every time I hear this song: The Ding-Dong Daddy of "The D" "Q-Line" ? Thank you for posting. Peace!
Just saw you guys at winterfest on friday, for the 2nd time. Had a blast! been a fan for many years, but did you play drunk daddy at this one? i came in at dr. bones

This swing revival didn't last long enough. I love this music. They need to bring it back.

Love the name of this band 🍒💥👨🏻🦰🧔🏻♂️
Amazing track, Its criminal this only has 17thousand views!
Whoever wrote the arrangement for this - whether it was Steve or one of the college-kid jazz guys he recruited for the band - he knew his business.

All aboard!
Eins, zwei, drei, vier!
Well, the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line
Had a thing for the ladies for which he did time
He reaped a little more than he could sow
Of the pleasures the Mormons in Utah know
He could not restrain himself when he saw a nice caboose
Say ding (ding!)
Say dong (dong!)
That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong
The Ding Dong Daddy had a sensual soul
Lonely women flocked to him and he loved them all
The train went in the tunnel, in the dark he proposed
The bonds of matrimony in the sweetest prose
The ladies got together and decided they'd been had
This ain't Salt Lake and you ain't Don Juan, man
We gotta give you credit, we was happy for a time
But you're the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line
Say ding (ding!)
Say dong (dong!)
That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong

1:38 what's that lick from? It's so similar to something but couldn't figure out
Woot! You guys are awesome, so happy to see a video of one of your classics!
These boys swing for the fence.

Was this actually inspired by anything related to the Los Angeles Railway?
Yes. The song is based off the actions of a real man named Francis Van Wie. www.sfexaminer.com/news/the-ding-dong-daddy-of-the-d-car-line/
@@swineherd_ Oh thank you very much! I always knew it had to be based on a real story.

MC Large Drink!
George Strait.
No wonder Norma's done.
The Daddis are still making music. Blame the record "proffessionals" who think Taylor Swift and Killin CopRap is great music.
