The original Flatfoot Floogie was written by Slim Gaillard in 1938, and was a huge nationwide radio hit. It has been covered by the likes of Benny Goodwin, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and many others. A famous WWII bomber was named for the song, the name changed slightly to honor the Brooklyn roots of the pilot: Flatbush Floogie. 

My version does not attempt to duplicate, or even sound much like, the original. But in my mind's ear, I hear  the same hepcat jazz feel of the early Swing Era. I hope you do too.
