The Swing Shift debuts a new episode Tuesday at 3 PM on The AIR.Folks who turn in will find themselves confused and delighted. You can tune in at The AIR Website, or just settle down right here on this embedded radio player…
Tuesday afternoon gets a little goofy as The Swing Shift brings you unconventional covers handled in the style of Big Band Swing Music. The show kicks off with Richard Cheese and gets stranger from there with Big Band covers of songs by Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Queen, Dire Straits, Poison, Bob Marley and even King Crimson and Emerson Lake and Palmer. Performers include Buddy Rich, Ella Fitzgerald, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Woody Herman, Johnny Favourite and more.
It is, as they say, delightfully strange. Check out the playlist:
