@Schizopantheist Holy Wow! My jaw has been on the floor for the last hour watching random suggestions from a Ross Sisters clip I saved ages ago because I thought it was cute!
Tell me again why we cringe at the lyrics of the music our kids listen to today??!!! My 17 year old daughter is gonna croak when I show her these after school... lol
Thanks for posting this - I have been playing this for 30 years (from a version by Boogie Woogie Red:-) and have it on youtube- but its the first time I heard this wonderful Fats original - brilliant!!!!! - shame he died so soon after.....

This is (of course) great, but I really prefer the Stuff Smith original. It's a lot peppier.

This song is something of a rebuttal to those who think such music comes from a more innocent, virginal era. Fats was naughty!

Fuck Marijuana and narcotics and such, they can go to hell. The real way to get high is listening to Fats Waller Play piano.

If You'se a Viper. But Fats Waller released it under the title, "The Reefer Song."

Everybody's here but the police, and they'll be here any minute. Love this joint. Fats was the man.
