Whats your favorite swing (jazz) song? (I need one for a dance)?

In The Mood, or Pennsylvania 65000 by the Glenn Miller Band.

what about Frank Sinatra's "I've got you under my skin" or "The way you look tonight"

You're talking about your birthday jam, right? I know, I'm a Lindy Hopper! When it comes to selecting your song, just remember one thing, pick a song you like! I'll give you a couple of my favorites. (I'm going to give you some instrumental numbers, then some songs with lyrics.) When it comes to birthday jams, the go to song is "Shiny Stockings" by Count Basie. This was Frankie Manning's favorite song, and he danced to it every one of his birthdays: http://www.amazon.com/Shiny-Stockings/dp/B000V8IUZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1257267839&sr=1-1 Another good one, if you want something a little more mid tempo, the check out "Half Tight Boogie" by Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five: http://www.amazon.com/Half-Tight-Boogie/dp/B000QLAUBM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1257267898&sr=1-2 Now for songs swing sweet lyrics... One of my personal favorites is "You Make Me Feel So Young" by Frank Sinatra. I think it's an incredibly cute tune: http://www.amazon.com/Make-Feel-Young-Digital-Remaster/dp/B000TE0N54/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1257267964&sr=1-1 ...or there's "How do you like your eggs in the morning?" by Dean Martin: http://www.amazon.com/How-Like-Your-Eggs-Morning/dp/B00160R8MQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1257268010&sr=1-1 There's also lots of sweet songs by Indigo Swing, like "How Lucky Can One Guy Be", "My Baby Just Cares For Me", "Swing Lover", and "My Baby Comes 'round At 8": http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=Indigo+Swing&x=0&y=0 ...and if you want something a little more west coast swing, then I'd go with "Dancing In The Moonlight" by Toploader: http://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Moonlight-2001-Remix/dp/B00138IVXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1257268169&sr=1-1 Last but not least, my general birthday jam song has always been "I feel that old age comin' on" by Wynonie Harris: http://www.amazon.com/Feel-That-Old-Age-Coming/dp/B001VF0QQ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1257267819&sr=1-1 Anyways, I hope that helps! Have a good birthday and a great birthday jam!
