yeah, sour note, though. i had to take my sis-in-law to tulane... some kinda o.d. lived in new iberia at the time, and she vehemently refused treatment. so i talked her into getting in the car, and we'd go see mardi gras. 90 miles later and she's unconscious. but i managed to get her to the hospital in time. that's 10 years gone by. now she has quit smoking, drinking, drugs, and hanging with that sort of .........
I lived in New Orleans for years , I love the city and miss it so much. This song help bring back all the old thing i use to do there . i live in New Mexico now love the song, Lcohorn
Brings back memories from the college days. local club DJ closed with this song most nights for a while......"one last bump & grind with ur main squeeze" was the way he put it!! Great song.....I have the album(yes, album!!) but no turntable!! Thanks for posting tis one!!
@blue66shelby Hi, the video was about "Greater" New Orleans area. But above that (not counting the Nemo scenes) a lot of the film was shot in New Orleans.
I love this song but love it better when it is sang by Travis Thibadeaux... We actually get all groupie like when he does his version. Mean no disrespect to Leroux just showing there are different versions
@allursia1 LeRoux did it first because it's their song. LeRoux's version is the definitive version to me and many, many others. If you like other people's versions, that's okay. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
Actually got to sing with these guys in Destin Fla and was like a little kid.....oh my God the Harmony was so spot on......too bad they only had this and one other hit cause they are really goooooooooood
@bikeyoda I understand, I did it for a little special surpirse for my 2 year old son at that time that loved nemo. I know it's not mississipi river, but I was never around that area when I was filming to make that part of the video
Who remember's when they came to Night Town in Destin!!!! Late 70's I was there who else was??? This song defines New Orleans. Now the Big Easy has a Super Bowl title. The Big Easy is Back, GEAUX SAINTS!!!!
Allllllllllll the way from Bourbon Streeet, to Esplanade, they sashay by, they sashayyyyyy byyyyy
Lol, I LOVE this song. It never gets old. my cousin made up a song to the tune of this, talkin about how she hates Zachary so that's why she works in Baker. Lolol. I forgot how it went, but more than likely so did she rofl
If you can listen to this Song And Not Want A New Orleans Lady I Dont Know What you could Want. I WANT A NEW ORLEANS LADY. If Anyone Knows A good One Who Needs A Good 28 Year Old Man In His Prime Who Is A Loisiana Man Born In New Orleans Let Me Know! WHO DAT YALL
I was born in Biloxi in 69, My parents were in the air force and joked me about how I was conceived off of Main St during Mardi Gras...We left before Camille Hit, and I have never had a chance to go back, but I consider this song, one that defines me! Thanks!
I was lucky enough to have seen this talented band in Memphis, and even luckier to talk to them after the show. What a bunch of gracious guys to hang around and mingle with their fans. Love this song and many others by them.A Classic!
to JOEJACKASS and 66jtm.... if you'd get OUT OF THE TRASH CAN, maybe you would find the New Orleans women they are singing about.... I happen to be one of them.... and any man who talks like you wouldn't be fit to wipe my high heels on
to JOEJACKASS and 66jtm.... if you'd get OUT OF THE TRASH CAN, maybe you would find the New Orleans women they are singing about.... I happen to be one of them.... and any man who talks like you wouldn't be fit to wipe my high heels on
Actually, this song was written about the New Orleans Prostitutes from Bourbon Street to Esplanade. Them Creole Babies, Thin and Brown and Down Right Lazy... Prostitutes are a Lazy Lay and easy for the Bucks. LOL!
A great song, although, when they sing "from Bourbon Street to Esplanade... you are showing photos of Esplanade Avenue that runs in Metairie and Kenner and I believe you had shown the Esplanade Mall as well in one photo. That is incorrect... as the Esplanade they are singing about is Bourbon Street that connects to Esplanade at the end of Bourbon Street and that Esplanade has nothing to do with the one in Metairie and Kenner. I lived there for over 30 years previous to Hurricane Katrina.
I know, but at the time my wife was working at Esplanade Mall and I'd thought I'd take a nod at other "famous" Esplanades in the Greater New Orleans area.
The first one is a pic from Esplanade Street in the quarter, if I remember correctly not to far from where ruby red's use to be.
The rest are from the Esplanade mall and street of West Esplanade just to show other Esplanades in the area.
You remember Ruby Reds! I used to live in the French Quarter back in the early 80's and I'd eat there all the time. Great Burgers with huge amounts of chedder cheese. Oh and just thow the peanut shells on the floor. I miss those days... LOL!
sure do....had family who use to work/manage there. They were the originators of the "thrown" peanut shells on the floor. They did this way before O' Henry's ever did.
Why did Ruby Reds go out of business, was it because of the Poker (gambling) games that used to take place after the place would close at night? I knew the guy with the crutches, that was the grill cook there... we were roommates for a short time. Is there any connection between the former Ruby Reds and Ruby Tuesdays?
I wasn't aware Ruby Red's closed, that really bites. My dad used to take me there when I was a little kid to dance to the jukebox and my brother had his first grill job there. Damn I miss home.
Its amazing how us Cajuns can leave home but we always come back. No other place in the world like south Louisiana. Laissez Les Bon Temps Roullez. sha!
What else is there? Great friends like you just across the border who drive over and allow us to share our Joi de Vie (joy of life) with you. As soon as the weather warms a little my wife and I will be in San Antone on the river walk listening to Mariachies (Sp?) and eating real Mexican food!
@aorphia Great burgers. Also lived there in 80-81 worked down the street at the Dream Palace. The Radiators used to play there on some weekends. Port of Call had some great food too.
Never knew any New Orleans Ladies but Always loved the song. I bought the album after hearing the song from a friend. still loving the great harmony of it......
They're not lazy, they just know how to take it easy. I love New Orleans and will be there in 2 wks for a 4-day weekend!!!!! I go every year and wouldn't choose any other place to spend my hard earned money.
Saw LeRoux at the lundy-gras celebration in Gretna this past monday. Always loved this song and couldn`t miss a chance to see them live. What a great time was had by all!
New Orleans belongs to us hun...its everyone not just blacks...Whites live there too, I am a proud New Orleans lady so keep you snide comment to yourself..ya hear cherie?
The very first time I heard N.O. Ladies I feel in love with it.
I was the Capitlol Records regional promo rep out of Atlanta at the time. We almost broke the record nationally, but it was a huge song from DC to Miami and all points south..
I will never forget a night in Little Rock, LeRoux was co-headlineing with the Cars and both bands and crews met SWEET SWEET CONNIE..
feel in love with this song first time i heard it. it also helped that the most beautiful girl in the world was singing along with it and that made it that much better.
Love love this song. So many memories. I was born in Houma La. but didn't grow up in La. Went to New Orleans for my honeymoon and my daughter was conceived there! La. holds a special place in my heart and this song does too.
When music was really music, I especially love the flute in this one. Not to mention the fact that you can actually understand the words. Great song,greater memories,thanks to all you guys who know how to bring it all back. Roll Bama Roll!!
OMG how the years rolled back with the words of this song. They sashayed by...I remember being gripped by the idea of being able to "sashay". Gorgeous song great memories. Thank you Gazork!
You're welcome, Dawn. Glad you liked it! Yes, this is a real memory-jerker. One of those songs that people would remember, if only it were played on the radio anymore!
we have terrible snow storms but you guys have wicked bad storms here in the south. no wonder you guys love them hurricane drinks you need them to get through the storms. but i love you guys for lsu
Tonight, I was thinking of my friend who drove me to the LeRoux concert. He was 15 years old and it was the last night I saw him. He was killed shortly after in an automobile accident. I will never forget him because he taught me so much about faith in his few years. And it's hard to believe, but it's been 30 years. Jadealana29, I came to cry with the song, and instead rejoiced at your post!
Still a great song, I love it...born and raised in New Orleans. No place like it before hurricane Katrina. Now it will never be the same again. May something new through the years come from it.
I envy you. My husband and I go to NO once a year, every year!! We love it and when our kids move out we're planning on moving there. We're gonna eat breakfast EVERY morning at Mother's Diner,have lunch every day at the Market Cafe (in the middle of Decatur St.)eat at Margeritaville's every night, and eat benets at Cafe du Mondes for our midnight snack!!
Actually it has been - check out Bayou-Degradable by LeRoux. I've got an autographed copy my mom got when she saw the last in NO. This has been several years ago, tho. I hear the bassist Leon Medica lives somewhere north of Nashville. I met his son a couple of years ago. Great band - nobody sounds like these cats! Le bon temps roulet!
My wife and I just got back from Vegas where we got married. We live in Texas, and our first vacation was in New Orleans. New Orleans is a thousand times better than Vegas. The people are so much friendlier. This is a woonderful song, and reminds us that we need to return to "Nawlins" when we have the money to go on vacation.
I LOVE this video! I never heard the song before moving to the south from California 9 years ago. My girlfriend turned me on to it, we saw this video for the first time together about a year ago and loved it from the very first time. We even try to skip along with the girls at the end of the video holding hands! we just laugh and laugh! Now whenever I hear this song on the radio, all I can see are the 2 girls skipping. I have to see this video at least once a month. THANKS FOR POSTING IT!
i got this album in a bargain bin in the mid seventies. it fast became one of my all time favorites. It drove my rocker husband insane i played it so many times.
song is also sung by wayne toups aka cocaine wayne for those who live in louisiana and know who he is. great singer and performer just like every other musician he has a drug problem. anyways getting to the point he sings this song in french, and makes its sound ten times as good.
I'm pretty sure he is talking about Esplanade Street not Esplanade mall in Kenner! In case you didn't know..

I will never forget a night in Little Rock, LeRoux was co-headlineing with the Cars and both bands and crews met SWEET SWEET CONNIE..

Love love this song. So many memories. I was born in Houma La. but didn't grow up in La. Went to New Orleans for my honeymoon and my daughter was conceived there! La. holds a special place in my heart and this song does too.

Tonight, I was thinking of my friend who drove me to the LeRoux concert. He was 15 years old and it was the last night I saw him. He was killed shortly after in an automobile accident. I will never forget him because he taught me so much about faith in his few years. And it's hard to believe, but it's been 30 years. Jadealana29, I came to cry with the song, and instead rejoiced at your post!

I appreciate the fact that the video shows ladies like you'd pass on the street any old day of the week and celebrates their beauty.

Still a great song, I love it...born and raised in New Orleans. No place like it before hurricane Katrina. Now it will never be the same again. May something new through the years come from it.

Actually it has been - check out Bayou-Degradable by LeRoux. I've got an autographed copy my mom got when she saw the last in NO. This has been several years ago, tho. I hear the bassist Leon Medica lives somewhere north of Nashville. I met his son a couple of years ago. Great band - nobody sounds like these cats! Le bon temps roulet!

My wife and I just got back from Vegas where we got married. We live in Texas, and our first vacation was in New Orleans. New Orleans is a thousand times better than Vegas. The people are so much friendlier. This is a woonderful song, and reminds us that we need to return to "Nawlins" when we have the money to go on vacation.

I LOVE this video! I never heard the song before moving to the south from California 9 years ago. My girlfriend turned me on to it, we saw this video for the first time together about a year ago and loved it from the very first time. We even try to skip along with the girls at the end of the video holding hands! we just laugh and laugh! Now whenever I hear this song on the radio, all I can see are the 2 girls skipping. I have to see this video at least once a month. THANKS FOR POSTING IT!

song is also sung by wayne toups aka cocaine wayne for those who live in louisiana and know who he is. great singer and performer just like every other musician he has a drug problem. anyways getting to the point he sings this song in french, and makes its sound ten times as good.
