305: THE ANDREWS SISTERS - STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmjNIq49398

Nominator: rwlh (13/15)

Initial Score: 60.26 [#229]
Revised Score: 61.20 [#277]
Final Score: 61.60 [#305]

(First Thoughts: Well, its certainly an inspired choice. A bit too old-fashioned for my tastes, but... well its different and different is worth points for novelty value.)

Ive never played Mafia 2 or Fallout 76, so I never knew this song was on their soundtracks. Thats kinda neat. Pretty sure Ive never heard any version of this song before, but theres been enough covers (this being a cover itself, but lets not get into that) that its plausible I heard one somewhere a long time ago.

I like this. Its not the type of thing thats ever going to be my favorite, but its interesting to look back at music from a time I dont know a lot about and I do have a noted animal bias. (Not really a fan of monkeys or buzzards, but Ill take what I can get at this point.

...other than bandicoots apparently, but lets not start that conversation again.)

[Final Thoughts: A nice and incredibly retro pick, which is a welcome change of pace from everything else.]

I asked you for areas of music you weren't well versed in, and you said you knew "the greatest hits from the 50s through the 80s." That's why I thought it might be nice to give you a song even older than that. Also, you mentioned not being familiar with Broadway songs, so this filled that niche too.

Clams Casino was more of a "I really like this, let's test it out" pick rather than any specific set of criteria.
