Background Harry Connick, Jr. transforms songs from classic childhood films into big band songs. He called the album "a fun record, but it's definitely for adults." In a 2003 interview, Connick compared getting children to appreciate music with getting them to appreciate broccoli. "If you give a kid fast food every day, that's all they'll be open to," said Connick. "If you give them broccoli, they may not like it, but they'll know it is out there and be open to it. You have to expose kids to music – jazz, classical music, rock and roll – and they'll be open."
