The Cherry Poppin' Daddies new single “Kings Of Swing“ is available now: “Kings Of Swing” is the latest single off The Daddies’ upcoming album “At The Pink Rat“, which will officially be yours in full on July 26th, 2024! Here is what Steve Perry had to say about his original idea for “At The Pink Rat“ and how “Kings Of Swing” fits into that vision: “At The Pink Rat“ was originally conceived in my head, as a live, Broadway type stage production, but any thought of that got kiboshed by the pandemic, unfortunately. “Kings of Swing” was the opener that would set the stage for the proceedings to come. It details the emergence of an East coast, rust belt, group of teenagers who work in Italian restaurants by day and by night are the impresarios of what essentially amounts to a punk rock Speakeasy housed in a strip mall. In this WW2 era decorated club they are the house band and they play original, hybrid Swing/ Punk Rock material. The audience is all dressed accordingly and are Lindy Hopping and throwing aerials all over the place during a frenzied performance where this band are the Kings of the scene. It’s kind of Saturday Night Fever meets Swing Kids in a destroyed once grand, art deco, urban landscape like say Buffalo, NY.” Written by Steve Perry / Toilet Brain Music - ASCAP Vocals - Steve Perry Piano - Andrew Oliver Bass - Arcellus Sykes Guitar - Chris Ward Alto Sax - John Nastos Tenor Sax - Willie Matheis Trombone - Chris Shuttleworth Trumpet - Dana Heitman Drums - Ken Mastrogiovanni Visit The Cherry Poppin' Daddies Online: Official Website: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Tiktok: @thedaddiesofficial Lyrics Chaps and Kittens Lads and Lasses And all you punks who flunked your ballroom dance classes Let's welcome to the bandstand The raddest dads in your mother's Netherlands You know 'em They roll 'em So cajole 'em Stone legends Cherry Poppin' Daddies I’m from a place where the best of our days are through Woo Woo Skies are all grey I’m at home where the jazz is blue Woo Woo Factory windows smashed in the heart of town Woo Woo I’m from a place that no longer exists It’s where I got my crown Givin’ up on havin’ tomorrow-ho Kings of swing Everybody out on the floor say hey Kings of swing Share the romance all in your head whoa Kings of swing Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey Jump Up Swing Out Kings of Swing Swing Kings of Swing Woo We were the Goombah kids and we played with style Ahh Ahh Worked with our hands by day but at night we’d file Ahh Ahh Into a spot concealed by a strip mall door Ooh ooh Down to a punk rock rose colored room We made 1944 Givin’ up on havin’ tomorrow-ho Kings of swing Everybody out on the floor say hey Kings of swing Share the romance all in your head whoa Kings of swing Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey Jump Up Swing Out Kings of Swing Kings of swing x6 Givin’ up on havin’ tomorrow-ho Kings of swing Everybody out on the floor say hey Kings of swing Share the romance all in your head whoa Kings of swing Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey Jump Up Swing Out Kings of Swing Swing Kings of Swing Woo x4 Gents and flappers Backbeat clappers Swells from hell who rolled in dapper Get hoppin' to the showstoppers Those festive western juice poppers Salty singin' Sultry swingin' Give a big 'un Let 'em hear ya Cherry Poppin' Daddies
