Boy, that sure did suck.

Lounge no, but did the swing/big band revival of the 90s catch on outside of the US?
Inlander:
Only insofar as a bunch of people saw the movie Swingers.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy toured Australia a few times, but I think that was about ten years after the swing craze had peaked.
valley_parade:
Oddly enough, I saw a thing in the newspaper advertising a show they're playing at a ski resort near here.
Surprised they're still around, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

Man, when I think of lounge music, I think of jazz with a lot of sax. This sounds more like... I dunno, like if muzak were its deformed bastard child several interpretations removed. Like if elevator music was pleasant. Also, aren't bachelor pads supposed to be sloppy and messy and unkempt, with mismatched furniture and possibly dirty laundry strewn about, a rather large entertainment center, and nothing but beer and leftovers in the fridge? Because that is definitely not what this music makes me think of.
Jetson-core is the best suggestion.
Edit: Space Age Pop is a loose term that doesn't necessarily specify this particular flavour of music, just the era, and wikipedia says that lounge music is related to this, but isn't this. So my point still stands.
Also I never knew there was a "revival" in the 90s. I guess it wasn't as prevalent as you thought?
