I remember hearing this play while interrogating the guy at the Bamba Club... It seemed awfully fitting, albeit with reverse rolls; so much so, in fact, that I kept having to go check the logs because I was getting distracted.
@DefendedHomestand There seemed to be a large emphasis on cheerful music in the 1940s and 1950s, possibly an attempt to lift peoples spirits despite the horrors and paranoia of the war. Mafia II's radio tracks convey it well.
Cole: "Do you realize what could happen to you after court, Ms. Fitzgerald?"
Ella: "There's one thing that I am sure: he ain't going to hit me no more! So, I tell you that I doesn't care if I was to die in... THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!"
This is why the old music is and always will be better. Back then people like Louis Jordan could just have a laugh and sing novelty songs like this and nobody would care, but If this was released nowadays it'd get banned for being 'racist'. People are too serious thesedays.
This tune is so much like Lord Kitcheners - Dr. Kitch song.....brilliant...don't think I've ever heard this before...if so was a very long time ago....love the comical aspect of the story..
I'll give you that the lyrics are great and the performance was great, but the thing that strikes me (no pun intended) most about this song is how catchy it is. It finds its way into your brain and simply refuses to leave, as all great songs do!
Sweet, thinking that I have discovered Louis Jordan and Fats Domino because old Jamaican artists started off ska in the late 50's listening to these musicians from US... well, it is good to hear this calypso version, which is totally awesome.
I love this song. This is an old style Calypso. No subject is out of bounds for Calypso, the idea is to give the songs a 'light' touch (if I can describe it that way) however serious the subject!
AA-HA!! This is the song playing in the background in the 1947 scene from the movie "Raging Bull"(1980). To celebrate, i'll have some spaghetti and meatballs with pacimora sauce.
Tomas have you seen a movie called The Burning Bed" this song paved the way for that tv movie it was made i the 80's starring the late Farrah Fawcett.
