“It Ain’t What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It)” was a calypso song written by jazz musicians Melvin “Sy” Oliver and James “Trummy” Young, first recorded in 1939 by Jimmie Lunceford, Harry James, and Ella Fitzgerald.
This is a madly infectious ska-pop version recorded in 1982.
“All things are in flux, which is just a balance between the downbeats and the upbeats, and if you are loose enough, you’ll get the dotted note… Otherwise you will fall from either one.”
— Efrain Toro
