The Frim Fram Sauce

Music by Redd Evans

"The Frim-Fram Sauce" is a jazz song made famous by Nat King Cole in the 1940s. It was written by Redd Evans and Joe Ricardel. In 2002, journalist William Safire said frim-fram sauce was a variant of flim-flam or deceit[2] and "ussin-fay" was pig Latin for "fussing", meaning "playing about fretfully". Safire quoted singer Diana Krall on the meaning of "shafafa": "'It's all about sex,' she replied innocently." "The Frim Fram Sauce" was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Armstrong and appears on a number of her albums
