Serge Gainsbourg - Chez Les Ye-Ye
1963 French pop song. Serge pulls out a switchblade a little awkwardly about halfway through. Translated lyrics here.
Retrolectro Swingtoon LIIb (Palm Dance with Boogalox aka Minimatic - Chez Les Yeye)
Here's an Electro-Swing version of the same tune. I ran across it listening to Electro Swing | Jazz House Mixwolf Session 2016 #1. Louis Armstrong makes a brief appearance here at the 1:56 mark.
I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You - Louis Armstrong
Here's the whole tune. Louis recorded this in 1932.
Jamie Berry-Sweet Rascal
Here's the Electro-swing version with Mistique burning up a square meter of carpet.
People get excited, then they get upset and out come the knives. Peace, love and understanding are all very well, but how's a girl supposed to know whether a guy can defend her or not? Well, you might want to see how well he handles a knife. Love and hate are like two sides of the same, human, coin.
Update March 2021 replaced missing Louis Armstrong video.
