No, it didn’t, did it? 
It does sound very McLaughlin, despite lacking even a hint of guitar.

Another arrangement that catches the spirit well with quite different instrumentation - the original:

Those are pretty awesome. It took me a while to put my finger on it, but those songs remind me a lot of some of Abney Park’s music…
(possibly not the most similar example, but first one that came to mind.)

Cool – but I’m not getting into the singer for some reason . . .
Here’s another electo swing group:

This one’s not as good:

OK, that was awesome. I’m a sucker for a wah-wah pedal, and they definitely made that song their own. Thanks for the link.
Even so, I kinda’ feel like it was missing something. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think, maybe, it could’ve been… an accordion!
This is more my speed when I think “zydeco”. Put that squeezebox front and center, I say.
Or you could go all gypsy punk. It’s in more of a rhythm section role, here, but I don’t make the rules, I only follow where the accordion leads.
In summary: The accordion. It’s not just for polkas, anymore.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

But without the Gene Kelly timeline, it can’t claim to be legitimately part of the Down To Earth expanded universe.

I keep getting tempted to watch that as it is available on one of the library streaming services.

It has its moments.
But, on the whole, too much purple spotlights and spandex.

I liked it. I have unironically enjoyed the soundtrack quite a few times. Now, the film itself is rather laughable in many ways, but that can be fun, too.
