What are you listening to in 2024 ?

Any fans of the generally-inaccurate-but-full-of-heart 1953 Titanic film?

This was sung in the film by a very young Robert Wagner:
 

"Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" was on the radio earlier, it's a 1936 song, with music and lyrics by Louis Prima, who first recorded it with the New Orleans Gang. Brunswick Records released it on February 28, 1936 on the 78 rpm record format, with "It's Been So Long" as the B-side. In 1967 Prima voiced King Louis of the apes in the animated Disney feature, The Jungle Book. Prima died in 1978, but his music continues as some of the best jazz and swing music ever recorded.
 
In 1966, Abi and Ofarim had their first hit with "Noch einen Tanz", an English version of which, "One More Dance", was a hit in the UK two years later, peaking at No. 13.[10] Their greatest success in Germany was in 1967 with "Morning of My Life", which was written by the Bee Gees. In 1968 "Cinderella Rockefella" hit the top of the charts in a number of countries including the UK.[11] They performed live concerts in New York City and London, and they toured Europe before separating in 1969.

This doesn't sound at all like a Bee Gees song...
