Musicians inside my skull are playing and singing "The
Java Jive." The words make little
sense, but the tune is catchy. It's the
kind of song you can have fun with.
Ben Oakland and Milton Drake collaborated to write the song,
which was published in 1940. The Ink
Spots made a hit recording of it that year, and since then it's been recorded
by just about everyone else.
You can hear it by clicking on this link. That'll take you to the YouTube slot of the
Ink Spots recording. From there YouTube
offers a lot of other versions of "The Java Jive."
