Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were sort of a novelty act in the late 90’s that blended ska and swing into an energetic ball of fun. I remember as a middle schooler thinking how cool the music video for “Zoot Suit Riot” was— basically a perfect blend of punk rock culture (RIP to chain wallets, you are missed) and the vivacious spirit of the Roaring 20’s all rolled into one. Makes me want to grab a round of Tiki drinks and drive to New Orleans to get lost in the French Quarter for an entire month before emerging back to reality.
Standout Songs: “Zoot Suit Riot”, “When I Change Your Mind”, “No Mercy for Swine”
