The Heebie Jeebies as a dance began in the USA in 1926 - the phrase is famous for the Louis Armstrong Hot Five record where he scats for the first time on record. By 1928, the Heebie Jeebies dance craze had made it to the UK, where it was briefly popular. Here, British composer Vivian Ellis gives us his take with this Heebie Jeebie song!
