Here's a scene from the British tv comedy series "Jeeves & Wooster" where Bertie sings the jazz song Nagasaki written in 1928 by Harry Warren and Mort Dixon.
The clip is from episode 5 called "Hot Off the Press" from season 3.
What do you think about Hugh Laurie singing Nagasaki from Jeeves & Wooster? Is it extremely invigorating as Jeeves puts it? Tell me.

The Nicholas Brothers perform “Lucky Numbers”
Enjoy this video clip with The Nicholas Brothers tap dancing to "Lucky Number".
The video clip is from The Black Network, a 1936 short with a fifteen-year-old Harold and twenty-two-year-old Fayard Nicholas performing “Lucky Numbers” by Cliff Hess.
About 45 seconds from the end you can hear a riff borrowed from the song Nagasaki (from 1928 written by Harry Warren, who also wrote Chattanoga Choo Choo).
If you like this clip you'll also like Jumpin' Jive with Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers and Glenn Miller Orchestra with Chattanooga Choo Choo featuring Dorothy Dandridge together with Fayard and Harold.

Glenn Miller Orchestra with Chattanooga Choo Choo featuring Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers
The Glenn Miller Orchestra played both swing and sweet music. I can't say that I'm particularly interested in his sweet music (ballads). But his swing music is good, here is a video clip with a really swinging version of Chattanooga Choo Choo with song and dance by the Nicholas Brothers & Dorothy Dandridge.
I'd love to be able to tap dance like them. So much energy!
