A bunch of Mills Brothers tunes. My grandmother loves them, and hooked me on them.

They always seem to surface at odd times.

This was my grandfather's favorite.

I like yellow bird.

That is a good one. I don't have the MP3 of it, and don't hear it often as a result.

I was listened to Dean Martin's version of You Always Hurt the One You Love last week, and it just didn't measure up to the Mills Bros charm.

I'm in a Big Band phase at the moment. Gene Krupa's Isn't That Just Like Love? playing atm.

I can't find the version on youtube. Here's Glenn Miller's version, but Krupa's features a woman, and it's much better.

I picked up several Mills Brothers albums on vinyl a few years back. I remember a Mills Brothers album that had a blurry picture of a booze cart with crystal decanters, actually one of my favorite all time album covers of all time, I wonder if that was your album?

It was.

It is a classy cover, for sure.

Good memory. It does have Yellow Bird too.

Yes, that cover says it all to me.

Never heard the song before. Pretty catchy tune. I can see how it sticks with you.

Few of the Mills Bros tunes aren't catchy. Watch out, you'll be bopping down the lane in no time.
