Casey Abrams Of Postmodern Jukebox Talks Us Through His Favourite Songs To Jazz Up

What Is Love

This video was fun to make because I love the Shout style. It was cool to do a bunch of crazy things like put Jacob [Scesney], the sax player, on my shoulders and run around. Also, very special to have pro-wrestling legend, Austin Creed (aka WWE's Xavier Woods) in the video dancing and playing trombone!

Stacy's Mom

I loved that Haley Reinhart was in the back of this video on the countertop just dancing. Also, I got to play the melodica on this one!

I'm Not The Only One

This was special because it was my very first PMJ video. As I was driving to meet Scoot Bradlee for the first time, I was talking to him on the phone about which song to cover that night at the PMJ Residency in Los Angeles at Hyde on Sunset. I had just heard this song on the radio, and we decided to cover it fresh that night!

Thriller

This one's great because I play a wolf that pops out at the end to haunt Wayne Brady! Wayne Brady is dope.

Africa

This was an epic shoot and I got to act for the first time in a PMJ video alongside Scott [Bradlee] and the legendary Snuffy Walden, who took a rocking guitar solo. Felt like I was in a movie. 

Umbrella

I had the opportunity of singing and dancing with my friends, jazz and tap legends, Sarah Reich and Melinda Sullivan. Not to mention I had a scratchy voice that night, but realised it made me sound more like Louis Prima. Feels like I'm in an old Singin' In The Rain-type movie.
