There’s No Playlist Like That Certain Playlist: Coffeetime Homebrew ep 157

Screenshot from a Video Varieties short film from 1949 showing the four Striders singing in front of a backdrop curtain pinned with signs of pancakes and other things found at a diner/soda shop. Two of The Striders have put on caps and round glasses as if to imitate hipsters of the time as they scat and take the tune uptempo for some bop singing.
The Striders enjoying that hipster fun!
