  • "Doin' the Jive" is a 1938 song composed by Glenn Miller and pianist Chummy MacGregor. The song was released as a 78 single by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra on Brunswick. Doin' the Jive was recorded for Brunswick on November 29, 1937, and released as Brunswick 8063 backed with a Big Band arrangement of Antonin Dvořák's 1894 "Humoresque" and as Vocalion 5131 backed with "Dipper Mouth Blues". The song features lyrics sung by Kathleen Lane and the band that introduced a new dance, "The Jive": "You clap your hands/And you swing out wide/Do the Suzie Q/Mix in a step or two/Put 'em all together/And you're doin' the jive". There is rap dialogue between Glenn Miller and Jerry "Buck" Jerome. The solos are by Jerry "Buck" Jerome on tenor sax and Irving Fazola Prestopnick, known as "Faz", on clarinet. A second version was released with Tex Beneke in the dialogue with Glenn Miller from a June 20, 1938 NBC radio broadcast from the Paradise Restaurant in New York City featuring Gail Reese on lead vocals. Glenn Miller biographer and confidant George T. Simon reviewed the song in the March, 1938 issue of Metronome magazine, describing it as "much swing, fun, and good Kitty Lane singing." The band contributes vocals along with Glenn Miller and Jerry Jerome. The song was arranged by Glenn Miller.
