There`s something about how this song is constructed, something amazing with a female mc and collection of fans responding along with those red carpet sax riffs at 33 seconds. Amazing and this 1941 always gets me thinking of Ted Williams hitting .406 in the same year gets me thinking 22 years later Aldous Huxley dying the same day JFK got assasinated.
I enjoy the sound too. Actually, I enjoy the big band sound in general, and combine it with baseball? Double bonus!
