Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra - Old People Don't Whisper

With its understated, playful use of the conventions of swing music, “Old People Don’t Whisper” is a song that pokes fun at itself with undeniably charming results. The line “we’ll just talk louder year after year” is followed by an articulation of the bass and brass section that edges on perfection. Just wait until you catch your reflection in the mirror, wielding an ear trumpet and a smile.

I owe a big thank you to my Oberlin buddy Harris for some of the coding and for file-hosting (*hearts Harris*); you can hire him to build your website just because he's that awesome.
