FAMILY GUY, StewieFOX

Frank Sinatra, watch out! A certain family guy is going swinging.

Seth MacFarlane, the mastermind behind the irreverent Fox 'toon, revealed on last night's Tonight Show that he's prepping a big band album.

MacFarlane says Universal Republic Records came to him with an offer to do a recording, probably based on his experience poking fun at the genre on Family Guy, "and I took it."

Fans can expect "swing arrangements of classic tunes. We kind of deliberately touched stuff that the Deans [Martin] and the Franks [Sinatra] and the Sammys [Davis Jr.] didn't do yet," MacFarlane said, before grabbing the mic and offering up a rendition of "Cream in My Coffee" backed by The Tonight Show band.

It's another thing he can add to the Family Guy Live show the next time he's in Vegas.
