DJ Chrisbe’s Song of the Week #3: Spooks

22.03.2010 by Chris

Louis Armstrong Recording Studio 1959


This funny song in a medium tempo range starts with a squeaking door and a deep laughter. Is it spooking in the house?

Often there is a murmur in the dance crowd when the intro starts and the majority of the dancers don't know the song: Is that a Swing tune? Yeah, it is!

There are strings and a choir supporting the orchestra which gives the song an additional mood.

Title: Spooks
Artist: Louis Armstrong feat. Gordon Jenkins And His Orchestra
Recorded: 13.4.1954 New York, NY
Tempo: 152 bpm
Dance:
Lindy

I like this song! Steve Leggett on allmusic label it “utterly goofy”. Make up your own mind!
