‘It’s Not Unusual’ Performed in the Snappy Style of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers’ Dance Music

Postmodern Jukebox teamed up with Welsh musician Jack Amblin to perform the classic Tom Jones song “It’s Not Unusual” in the snappy style of music that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced to in the 1930s. Amblin’s use of different percussion instruments, including a washboard, seemed to mimic the distinctive sound of the dancer’s shoes.
