Just Like Fred Astaire

"Just Like Fred Astaire" was 1999 a song by the indie band James from their album Millionaires. A well publicized battle with the estate of Fred Astaire which involved the usage of his name in the title almost overshadowed the song itself. It is a bouncy love song and led to some accusations of selling out from their fans.
