The Frim-Fram Sauce

"The Frim-Fram Sauce" is a jazz song written by Redd Evans and Joe Ricardel.

[1] 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".

[2] Safire quoted singer Diana Krall on the meaning of "shafafa": "'It's all about sex,' she replied innocently.

"[2] The song was made famous by The King Cole Trio whose recording on October 11, 1945 (Capitol 224)[3] reached the Billboard charts with a peak position of No.
