  • This song has that Old Western movie feel to it, like the brave hero trotting off into the sunset.

  • we love the fat man

  • His music never gets old. 

  • Such a simple song, yet so full of atmosphere and feeling! One of Fats' greatest! Don't let anyone kid you - there was PLENTY of great music before the Beatles.

  • There's no place in the world like New Orleans.

  • Fats is very underrated. I've never been to New Orleans. I've been to NYC many times. Love it there. Been to Memphis once. The music on Beale street was like heavan to my ears. New Orleans is still one city I still want to visit. I love the food the music and the culture.

  • COOL AS MUD MAN! GO AHEAD FATS DOMINO MAKE MY DAY!

  • Dude is 82 and still going strong. Guess you don't have to built like Jack LaLanne to live that long.

  • @anchovysardine Who'd of thought 2 weeks later Jack dies

  • @anchovysardine Duke Ellington started every morning with chocolate cake and ice cream, and he lived to be 82. Long life is mainly between the ears. :)

  • he makes me want to be fat

  • go fats, you're the man!

  • Its rare to see a video with over 100,000 views, but no dislikes. This one truly deserves it.

    Laissez les bons temps rouler.

  • soooo so good!

  • Fats Domino is brilliant, i love this stuff!

  • great man and songs

  • This song reminds me of mom.

  • Great Song. Antoine(Fats) Domino is still the greatest.

  • Im suprised he didnt write a song like "im floatin, im floatin in new orleans!" after being rescued from new orleans after hurricane katrina!

  • I just love Fats Domino and how typical to learn that he was such a great guy to meet -re mikeb439!  He gave us so many great tracks but don't forget about the other great guy - I am talking about Brook Benton. He too made a fab recording of this one.

    Cheers

  • There was a disc jockey in Miami called Butterball. When this song first came out he said, "I can't see Fats walking to the corner let alone to New Orleans". Good laugh. Brings back many pleasant memories

  • Wonderful song.....Fat's best ever. Great pictures of the old South too. Don't worry about New Orleans cause the South will always rise again.

  • I just love this song! I am using for a school project, in fact I am using ur version

  • thank you for this nice music, its great

  • I'm walking to Biloxi.

  • SCWOODBURY - that is a beautiful video of NOLA and Fats. It doesn't get any better than this.

  • A great song about a great city that has you smiling and crying at the same time.

  • this is THE new orleans theme song yall! new orleans gona live on! aint nuttin gonna bring us down! LONG LIVE THE FAT MAN!

  • If Fats Domino walked as much as he sang about walking, he wouldn't have been so fat.

  • I didn't mean anything bad about him. I love listening to his music. It was just an observation of his size and what he sang about a lot.

  • Now you've really fucked up.

  • Not exactly a kind statement, but as funny as it is true

  • This song wins.

  • whoops i meant 12 oz boxes 0.0

  • I feel what you mean. If I was in another city, and they said "oh your from Chicago, you must want deep dish" I would spit on his counter and walk the F out......jagg

  • Music would be a better place if people got back to blues like this.

  • There is no place on earth like New Orleans I live n Texas now I looked 4 the stuff they had only in New Orleans

    If I said Orched Pototoes, Hot Sausages R Pickled meat 4 beans some will know what i mean

    I was told I wanted Hot Smoked sausages ARGH!!!

    I am use to 5lbs bags of grits from N.O... not 12 lbs boxes

    Even Subway is different in N.O. across from Delgado I could get brown gravy on my sandwich

    Popeyes served grits 4 breakfast on Canal Street

    I Miss NOLA & the LakeFront

  • i know exactly what you mean luvsailor, i had to evacuate to chicago to live with some of my relative's when katrina hit...thank god it was only intil january of 2006,i was soo blessed to have been able to come back...new orleans is my home, there is no place like it on earth!!..

    i'm from the lake front just two blocks from uno..i hope that you get the chance to come back, and and may god bless you.

    long live the FAT MAN,and all thing's n'awlins!!:)...and WHO DAT?!...GEAUX SAINTS!!!

  • I wanna visit New Orleans someday =(

  • Thank you so much for posting this. A friend of mine and I were talking about the economic meltdown and how warnings came out, just like they were with the levees two years before Katrina hit. I put on this song just because it seemed to fit the situation, and we were both in tears, grown men, warm tears. What a lovely, lovely song, poignant but determined. I can think of nothing more heroic and decent.

    Thank you again.

  • heroic?

  • God Bless.

  • I love this song. Thanks for posting.

  • He´s the best ever..

  • God I miss my home. I live in Florida now but I miss New Orleans. I remember my Dad and I drove past Fats Domino's house one day and he was in the yard. We stopped and talked with him. One of the nicest gentleman you would ever want to meet. Thanks for the video.

  • Lol, not everyone gets to do what you do, I think I was lucky to be able to send him a letter, now I just have to wait around a month before he hopefully replies with a few kind words and his autograph. I can't wait!

  • he looks so nice and genuine...love his music

  • @mikeb439 Wow, what a nice story. You are lucky you got a chance to meet such a great and talented artist. Thanks for sharing that story with us.

  • @mikeb439 lucky 

  • @mikeb439

  • @mikeb439 yeah right...and Elvis was my brother

  • @mikeb439 He Is !!! 9th W/D Greatest

  • i had forgotten about this song...what a great treat to hear it again and it means more now than it did as a teenager...thank you for the great vids too

  • Great pictures. I was very lucky to be in New Orleans before Katrina. Its a great city.

  • This is one of those sad songs that i love.

  • oh man, i'm crying.

    i miss my home. ohio isn't where i'm from, nor where i (want to) live. lord, take me home.

  • the FAT man is great

  • Love this song, Fats! you are a Legend.

  • This was my theme song after Katrina & Gustav, then I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Fats Domino at Tips when the documentary was first aired. What a beautiful, humble man!. THANK YOU- I am thrilled to have shaken your hand e. A VERY ,VERY HAPPY 81st - I hope your birthday is as joy-filled as some of the time I have spent enjoying your wonderful music.. Josephine, Mike & I wish you many more years of love & peace. God Bless.

  • I listened to this song after Katrina too, when I had no choice but to stay where I had refugeed or whatever to.

  • Man this is so cool.

  • Happy 81st BIrthday, Mr Domino. You are one of the greats.

  • listenin to this song and thinkin of Katerina, it makes you cry..

  • it really is sad.they played this on :when the levees broke" on hbo by spike lee.and it was a really emotional show

  • I remember Fats as a kid in the fifties. He sang Blueberry Hill and Valley of Tears as I sat in the backseat of a 49 Hudson and enjoyed my first real kiss. AH! 3rd grade memories.
