  1. this song kinda makes me happy and it makes me laugh and wanna dance and it like plays a clip in my head about tom and jerry when goes to like a mad part.and my favorite part is 1:50 is whe it starts to sound like tom and jerry till the end.it makes relly wanna go black and white like in the 80's and dance in cartoons.the instuments are relly amazing i relly like how they put the trumpet relly loud.and its not in the back round so if we were to rate it i would 10 the best out of all the songs we listened to.

  2. The song is pretty good and the only instruments they are are using are a piano, saxophone, and trumpet. The song in the beginning makes me feel kind of excited it sounds like a song from Tom and Jerry or another different old cartoon,but they might also play this in a fancy restaurant. It also makes me feel very happy. This song might also be in a mario game. Lolz this song is kind of funny cyaz thx for reading comment lol........

  3. I think this song by Duke Ellington is happy and full of joy. When I listen to this, I imagine I am in the 1920s, a live band is playing this song at a party in a very elaborate, fancy, and brightly lit room. People are all talking, men are wearing tuxedos with bows and women are wearing those elegant dresses woman wore long ago. Some people are dancing too. That is what I think of this song.

  4. I think the music is calming and it makes me feel like expressing myself in a way that is ice and it also reminds me of a TV show called tom and jerry this music or part of it was been played when tom was walking with jerry tied to his hand, but what I really think of this music is that the instruments in it make me so happy and it also stops me from thinking of something to far so I just know it instead and it relaxed me.

  5. I think this piece is really a cool song, just listening to trumpet making sounds I’ve never heard a trumpet make. It reminds me of lots of things like a parades in the 1920’s to Tom and Jerry music and then for some reason Mary Poppins. And then the rhythm of the cello as gets plucked is one of my favorite sounds in music.

  6. I think that this song is cool because it is different than all the other songs we lisented to and it is old but it still sounds cool. I can tell that there is a trumpet in here and a saxephone. In the old days this music was the bomb you can tell that it is from the 1920's because no one is singing and in those days they didn't have singers.

  7. I think that the song was cool..... It had alot of instruments used.... But other than that this wasn't one of the songs that had somone singing in it so i liked it even more. Well it is super diffrent from all the other songs i listen to so its cool. Plus you have no one singing and you definetly can tell that it is from the 1920's because never had that much singers back in the days. So instead of singing the always use instruments.

  8. I think this song is actually pretty good because I can feel the rhythm. It Is also very jazzy, and soothing. When I listen to this song, I am visualizing a very old cartoon character walking down the street whistling, with his hands inside his pockets. And I am also visualizing Mickey Mouse whistling and riding his boat at the same, and Mickey Mouse is also dancing. The instruments that are played in this song are the trombone, trumpet, and the saxophone.

  9. The song is classic jazz that's for sure.It was made by duke wellington. You can hear various instruments, like the saxophone, the trumpet, occasional drum. The song makes you feel jumpy and it reminds me of the city at night. It has plenty of band players.

  10. I like it. It isn't like anything that I have ever heard before. It is very creative.I can imagine a black and white cartoon and Mickey just whistling on by with his hands in his pockets and like he has no worries in the world. It sounds like there is a Saxaphone, cello, and trumpet and so many more that I just can't name.I would not mind listening to this again.

  11. what i think about this song. this song makes me want to clean up because when i had to watch old movies with my mom and dad they played this song when a person cleaned up. so ever since i heard this song it makes me want to clean up which i hate to do. this music is nice but boring at the same time although if i heard this song i will clean up and like it though
