31. Girls from Mars - One is Never Too Old to Swing


Made this one for my cousins in Seattle, who have been teaching me all sorts of neat moves to spice up my swing dancing. These are all tunes that I find work well for six-count, though fewer than half would be considered "Swing" tunes by a purist. I tried to set up the list so that the tempo varies from song to song.


Thanks to Wildhearted Outsider for "Stay" and "When the Boy's Happy," to Gerry McDonald for "A Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache," and to Joey de Vivre for "Ain't No Sin" and the kick-butt version of "It Don't Mean a Thing" (whence the mix title).
