Slim & Slam was a 1930s musical partnership formed by Bulee "Slim" Gaillard (vocals, guitar and piano) and Leroy Elliott "Slam" Stewart (bass). They produced novelty jazz numbers featuring Slim's distinctive vocal style with scats, hipster argot and nonce words.

Their biggest hits were "Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)", "Cement Mixer (Puti Puti)" and "The Groove Juice Special (Opera in Vout)".
