The album Friendship The Wrong Idea by T Dorsey Family (Mountain Branch) Swing And Sweat With Charlie Barnet is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that will get you moving and grooving in no time. The album features the talents of the T Dorsey Family and their unique blend of swing and sweat, as well as the legendary Charlie Barnet and his iconic sound.

From the opening notes of "The Wrong Idea" to the closing chords of "Swing Street Strut," this album is a non-stop party that will keep you dancing all night long. The T Dorsey Family brings their signature sound to each track, with tight harmonies and infectious rhythms that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head.

Meanwhile, Charlie Barnet's contributions to the album are nothing short of legendary. His saxophone solos are masterful, and his arrangements are nothing short of brilliant. Barnet's influence can be felt throughout the album, and his presence elevates the T Dorsey Family's sound to new heights.

Excellent musician type parody. First time I heard it and knew it was a gag!
Billy May wrote and sung ( Slappy Happy) this as comically as possible .
Love that extended twang sound very common in WB road runner cartoons.

Love this wonderful satire of so many "off the cob" orchs,that,to me,were mystifyingly popular during that time.

Incredibly, Charlie married (legally albeit briefly) 11 times

Sammy Kaye really threw a fit when this record came out, and switched to Varsity Records in retaliation against Victor. I think he took it personally how the recording company actually pressed it under the name 'Sing and Sweat with Charlie Barnet', since it was an obvious dig at his own 'Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye'. But tempers appeared to have cooled a few months later, and he returned back to Victor after Varsity went bankrupt.

Barnet spoofs Kay Kyser head on in the intro to the vocal, adopting a fake southern drawl and crediting May as 'Slappy Havert', a clear reference to Kyser's own Sully Mason (who May appears to be intentionally imitating). Plus, the band is playing Barnet's own theme song, 'Make Believe Ballroom' behind the vocal intro, similar to how Kyser always ran through a riff of his theme song, 'Thinking Of You'.

Billy May was just 23 when he co-wrote this song with Charlie Barnet. The beginning of a great career.

Both styles have their pluses and minuses but all the bands of this era had one thing in common, a superb standard of musicianship and arranging that has never been bettered

I thought the main target was Lawrence Welk. Kyser was himself a joker. The last chord surely mocks the late-Thirties craze for Hawaiian and South Seas sounds.

Barnet ran the tightest, most purposeful swing outfit of the day, disciplined in performance if not when off the stand. As a teenager he had resented the displacement of hot jazz by more danceable rhythms during the Depression: music slowed down like the economy.

By 1939 both were doing so again. Barnet must have dreaded another influx of sweetness from Welk, Lombardo and the like. Even Tommy Dorsey was getting slack before Sy Oliver came on board.

Luckily for Barnet, the war quickened the tempo anew. Swing had a second wind before bebop killed it. Barnet tried to bop but it was too shapeless for him. He hung up his reeds in 1949, as finally as Artie Shaw.

I've always found most of the intentionally corny Swing Era sides kind of tiresome, but I have to admit that this scathing satire of the Kay(e)s -- Kay Kyser and Sammy Kaye -- is quite amusing. The hard-swinging sound of the Barnet orch. bore no resemblance to that of the sticky-sweet outfits of the day, as this one's flip side, the eminently grooving, "The Right Idea" attests.
