Pop Songs Get Old Hollywood Sound With Postmodern Jukebox
It's time to turn the radio dial back to your grandparents' generation
Postmodern Jukebox posted a video in February featuring a woman with her hair in 1940s-style victory rolls and a polka dot dress crooning into the microphone while a jazz band plays a bouncy melody behind her. But a few bars in, you notice that she isn't singing an Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday song. Instead you hear, "I'm gonna pop some tags / Only got twenty dollars in my pocket ..."
It's Macklemore's "Thrift Shop," of course, reworked into an elegant vintage arrangement. While most of Postmodern Jukebox's songs garner a respectable couple hundred thousands of views, their cover of "Thrift Shop" is by far their most popular, with a cool two million views on YouTube and counting.
