LOUIS JORDAN - AIN'T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS- 1956

[anotherbluesguy]

I'm here because of my mother spinning her 78's when I was a kid. Never been to LA or Madonna.

[bbloomfield2016]

@anotherbluesguy LA Noire is a video game, and Madonna is an actress in movies...

[ofirharlev]

I came here thanks to Mezzo

[CitySkin09]

Drunk Madonna making a fool of herself in "Swept Away" is what brought me here.

[georgeberg23]

Fuck L.A. Noire and The Muppets!!!!!!! I came here because of George Oppen, bitches!

[MrTerryh68]

SWINGIN'



[ridovem]

I came here because of LOUIS JORDAN!!! So swingin' clever, honkin' sax, and 60 years ahead of his timeline, Jax! ^..^

[Dafydyl1297]

A 1947 hit on Billboard charts.

[agratzi]

thumbs up if konachan brought you here

[uberuberpwnt]

L.A. NOIRE RULES, SO DOES RED DEAD!!!!!!!

[Wulfcrusher]

This song's featured in LA Noire? I was planning on playing it in a few weeks, but I'll have to get right to it tomorrow!

[AwesomeOPanda]

Wow Lot of guys upset because people know the song of a game, be glad that lots of people still get introduced to good music through games and movies, instead of being all hipster about the song.

[roxrox2]

@AwesomeOPanda I tend to agree with this. I'd rather that there be a new generation of listeners to classic music, instead of a handful of arrogant audiophiles who think that it's "too cool" for people to start listening to, or like people are late. Those people were probably born well after the song was made anyway, so whenever you found out was too late too, you fucking wanks.

[TheVivvav]

Fuck LA Noire, this was in the Muppet Show.

[donteatmytaco100]

OM&M is why im here

[TimeForBold]

Wtf, I'm here because my parents had this CD when I was young, not because of some manky ass video game

[Dogmicspane]

Wait. LA Noire takes place in 1947! This song is from 1956!!

[jammymor]

@Dogmicspane I think the original version was 1947.. I believe this is a remake of the song.

[Dogmicspane]

@jammymor Oh. I hear it. The music is faster paced. That game is super realistic!

[TheVivvav]

@Dogmicspane Typo on the uploader's part. It's from 1946.

[doowopcharlie1]

I believe it still is called swing music

[the50sjazzfan]

I came here because I'v just posted a programme on Louis Jordan and this takes me back to my youth.

[JenkinzFilmz]

I came here because Louis Jordan.

[mrthomaslione]

This has been sped up?!>

[pauldegroover]

Original Vintage Rock'nRoll!!!

[zippydude12345]

i came here because i actually know the song

[kkaayynniinnee]

CS_Italy? 

[DerMitten]

I came here because of Loius' great tunes not because of some clever french connection mais oui, d'accord? Tres Bien......

[cocofloresta]

when I heard this song on a car of L.A.NOIRE I started doing the rhythm and the whole city was destroyed

[w8geek]

@ADAMTHEKILLJOY ...and intelligent people knew the difference between "new" and "knew", as well as "there" and "their"....

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

@w8geek touche!!

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

@w8geek that is the joke well done.

[KeiIshiyama]

@ADAMTHEKILLJOY Fuck you.

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

its only a joke jeez

[KeiIshiyama]

@ADAMTHEKILLJOY No. That's white man's ignorance at its finest. There's nothing funny about that.

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

@KeiIshiyama I am half african I am no mean a "white man" get the facts right.

[KeiIshiyama]

@ADAMTHEKILLJOY My apologies for the harshness, but I'm sick of hearing all this shit about white men being oppressive pieces of shit to anyone who isn't 100% white. Whenever I hear a comment like that, I can't help but hate it.

Hopefully I didn't seem like an ABSOLUTE jackass. Clearly, I can tell I was trying :P

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

why is this 1956 and la noire is set in the 1940s hmmm your going to have to run that one by us again sister.

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

@ADAMTHEKILLJOY oh wait its a remake duhhh.

[DonVincenz]

unreal song

[Horidikanas]

Never played LA Noire before but I'm strongly considering it. This song is awesome! It has been on replay for the last hour or so!

[swefox]

I like this song.

[brianab31]

What is LA Noire? If they're playin' this then it must be AWESOME! Do tell, kids!

[whodovoodoowedo]

@brianab31 it's a video game set in the 40s, based around noir detective films that kinda stuff. its featured anachoristically, as this version of the song came out after the game is set. 

[NeddyRedux]

No dislikes, sweet!

[chowderhead318]

Thumbs up if you came here because of L.A. Noire!!! :D

[psychomantis108]

[wolfsniper27]

@JesterGav it isnt a cover its the same person  that sang the original

[TheReaper951]

@JesterGav This is the Original

[whodovoodoowedo]

@TheReaper951 no it's not. this is the 50s version for the type of music that was around then. there was a swing version in the 40s made by the same person!

[MichaelHansenFUN]

[joanystar]

Love this song! My Mom used to sing it all the time when I was a child.

[deaddoc]

I'm looking for someone who has a copy of a 78 my folks had that was hilarious. It was called "Chicka Bita Boogie." The whole barnyard gets jumpin' and they go off on a "boogie ride."

[claporte1]

Man. This rocks.
