Adam, thanks for posting the comparative renditions. This is indeed a great song! Here's a rendition on Youtube recorded by the Bratislava Hot Serenaders about ten years ago. And yes, it is performed in vintage style.

Rocky, that was indeed a (surprisingly) great rendition of the song. I particularly liked the Westie, who seemed to be enjoying himself...
