A useful guide to 1940's American culture

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Dear all,
I have just seen the most enlightening history lesson. It was only about 4 minutes long, but it had everything in it that you need to know about the USA in the mid to late 1940's.
It had swing/big band music, vintage aircraft (P51 Mustangs and T6 Texans) fashion from that era, and a fine study of the change in society that took place as the men went off to work and women took their place at the wheels on industry.
Where did I see this excellent piece of film? The History Channel? National Geographic?
Nope!

MTV.

The new Christina Aguilera video for Candyman.


Ding Dong! :shock:

If thats what WW2 dancehalls were like, take me back in time, baby!
(Just listen to the lyrics. They are rather naughty. Talk about 'double entendres' :lol: )


Sorry, I shall go and take a cold shower. A man of my age! I should be ashamed!

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Thats the one! My late parents used to tell me about all the fun they had at the Big Band dances in the 40's. Now I know why!
I like it purely for the music of course!
Much better than all the current heavy bass with delightful lyrics such as "am goin' to pop a cap in yo ass, beyatch", whatever that means!
