Dancin' woozy in the space age

Been a couple of weighty days, musically speaking. I think it's time for something light and playful. Like a little cat. But I have cat allergies. How about a song instead? A song to be played for a drunkard dancing with a lampshade.

Oranj Symphonette were some jazzers who got together to do fun romps through the Henry Mancini songbook. They expanded the palette to other like-minded guys on their second album. This tune was written by Burt Bacharach for a movie of the
same name, which apparently flopped. It was sung by Peter Sellers, which is always a plus. No vox here, but the plunger mute has character to spare.
