Slap That Bass
Reg Keho, a bass player who seems to be going mad, a lady maraca player, and five lady marimba players work over the xylophones for your amusement in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
For the life of me, I don't think anyone really knows how to play their instruments; people mimed and lip-synced to recordings in the soundies. But they certainly overplay it amusingly!
