This happy and playful song is a swingin' ode to 50's pop and rockabilly. All the hallmarks of 50s pop are here - greasy guitars with plenty of tremolo & spring reverb, saxophone, trumpets, an upright bass, and some jazzy drums. Recalls the work of The Stray Cats, The Reverend Horton Heat, and The Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
