thanks man

[2ndviolinist]

@jojona74lac You are welcome.

I have about 5 Louis Jordan albums. The man was a pioneer and a musical genius; also brilliant at writing these hilarious novelty songs that are timeless. Listen to 'Deacon Jones' OR 'Five guys named Moe' and you'll see what I mean.

[2ndviolinist]

@rankingtrevor Used to play in a band that played several Louis Jordan tunes including 5 guys named Moe. There's Big Moe, Little Moe, Four-Eyed Moe, No Moe

i have played mafia 2, but i first heard Joe jacksons version(which is better btw)

[brianab31]

@Briggzbom YES! It's because of Joe Jackson that I am familiar with Louis Jordan. Joe's versions of Louis songs are great. However, you must give props to the master- esp. given the era and his inventiveness.

What is the use of getting sober? No point to it if you ask me cause i love my whiskey.

[Broblem12]

Love this!!! It is so funny and so real. I think that Louis Jordan and his band were masterful. A tip of the hat to 2ndviolinist. :)

[BGDD27]

because there's alot of comments on the subject i'm gonna ask, what is mafia II? i'm guessing it's a movie or a game. i clicked this because the name is funny.

[2ndviolinist]

@BGDD27 A game. See below.

[Dalek22comments]

[aldrickbarber35]

I love this song and he is so right !

[RunningFromthe80s]

hahaha "shut up boy!"

[zestytoaster]

mafia 2 was a mediocre game, but the soundtrack is phenomenal. we should be happy its turning more people on to the best music ever written

[sirstrongbad]

@zestytoaster disagree with your first point, but couldn't possibly agree more with your second.

[Kaneownzu]

Drink aaaallll day and drink aaaaaaaaalll night and son you know that dat ain't right. But well papi if you just gimme a chance i ca- shut up boay

[redslownight]

"Shut up boay..."

[Kaneownzu]

I would make a comment about mafia 2 but i feel like someone will rip my head off.

[2ndviolinist]

@Kaneownzu Having never played or seen the game I have no clue what that means.

[Kaneownzu]

@2ndviolinist people seem to get pissed when they see someone says "HEY THIS WAS IN MAFIA 2!!!

[sirstrongbad]

@2ndviolinist a game set between 1945 & 1951, this song plays on one of the radio stations featured in the game.

[wesm65]
