Could be worse.

Here are a couple more along the same lines, including some 1946 hep cats in saddle shoes swinging with bobbysoxers in penny loafers to the music of Benny Goodman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMVHlrWtmDw ; and from a decade later, 3 bee bop pigs, with an assist from Shorty Rogers and Stan Freberg, giving a square wolf a lesson in playing cool: https://www.b98.tv/video/three-little-bops/ .
