Quite possibly the only good thing that came of the swing revival of '97. 1997 was a phenomenal year for modern-rock and pop music; we haven't seen a year like it since and most likely won't again. At least we'll always have "Hell".

Great tune. Another benefit of the short-lived swing revival thing was Andrew Bird sorta making his debut with the album "Thrills." Check out the tune Glass Figurine.
I actually viewed the swing revival as a generally positive phenomena, but I agree that the Zippers were the best thing to come out of it. Hearing this single actually caused me to go out and buy the album (which I realize is a commonplace for a lot of people, but is very, very rare for me). I only wish the band had been around when I was 10 and obsessed with the 1920s.

This posting inspired me to break out Hot and listen to while washing the dishes. It brought back many memories.
Another great song from the album, "Prince Nez":
