I found this video clip with Jerry Lewis from the movie The Nutty Professor via a comment made by leazwell. Jerry Lewis has made perfect examples of the phenomenon that I call "the music made me do it". Look at him in the films Errand boy or Cinderfella.
In this video clip he cant help himself, he just has to dance to the song Leap Frog performed by Les Brown and His Band of Renown.
The nutty professor explains:
"I got carried away by the music, it was a toe tapper"
What songs do you consider a "toe tapper"? Please tell me.
I've featured a very different version of Leap Frog before in my blog post "Jazz as a conversation" but it was also a example of "the music made me do it".
What do you think of Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor? Please comment.
