OK I'm going to stop here before I get to the 50's 60's era phenomenon of "Italian men singing jibberish sounds" which comes i think directly out of this but then rides the wave of some of the contemporary celebrity culture via dean martin and the rat pack and whatnot that then becomes more familiar in the US musical canon.

tl;dr 50's music much weirder than usually appreciated.

edit: lemme give myself some tags so i can find this thread #Lounge #ElevatorMusic #MusicHistory
