  • shiver me timbers!! and cut bait!

  • John Valby does a good edition of this.

  • OPEN THE DOOR YOU FUCKIN WHORE ITS BARNICLE BILL THE SAILOR!

    TO HELL THE WITH THE DANCE N DOWN WITH UR PANTS SAID BARNACLE BILL THE SAILOR!

  • Bix was very young but played very good.

  • Im not him now!!!

  • America in the 1920's was pure party and debauchery. Hence the "Roaring 20's", Then the slap in the face in 1929.

    Again in the 1980's.............lesson not learned.

  • much censored version even hoagie did a ruder version

    BUT this version features gene krupa on drums and benny goodman!

    what a line up!

  • Imagine being about ten, and you find your older brothers records. You start hearing George Carlin...Eddie Murphy...and BARNACLE BILL! The version I have on lp is very dirty.

  • george harrison love this music

  • Cajmere and Dajae reworked this great man's work in the house music timeless classic, "U Got Me Up." Being from Chicago, blues and house music are in my blood so this discovery will allow me to die a fulfilled man. hahahaha!!

  • @jvincentp1 have you got a link to the song? I'm really curious now!

  • @mojoman4147

    throw this into youtube search!

    Dajaé - U Got Me Up (Cajmere's Underground Goodies Mix)

  • @jvincentp1 brilliant! I love it :D

  • my grandfather used to always play this song when he was in the navy in WWII

  • my grandfather used to alwya play this song when he was in the navy in WWII

  • Even in his deteriorating state Bix,much like another "tortured genius"Charlie Parker,was still capable of delivering beauty!Thanks for posting

  • No problem, glad you liked it

  • I wish I was Barnacle Bill. I'd like to drink her wine and eat her pies.

  • "i'm all lit up like a Christmas tree..."

    Timeless stuff...

  • I know! I do laugh when he says "I'll drink your wine and eat your pies" :)

  • Carson Robison wrote over 500 songs mostly country western tunes- he is mentioned in the opening verse of Hillbilly Heaven by Tex Ritter because Carson was a powerhouse f a musical influence in the early days- Carson had a split tongue due to an accident as a youth He used to whistle for many country records because he could effect a very interesting whistle

  • This was an "all-star" session under the direction of Hoagy Carmichael, who provided "vocals" with Carson Robison and Joe Venuti...

  • An all star session indeed. Quotation marks around all-star are superfluous. You could not have put together a better jazz band than this in 1930. Bubber Miley, Bix, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman, Venuti & Lang, Gene Krupa. And they made this record that sounds like it's from a Betty Boop cartoon. I love it but wish they could have made better use of the lineup. They did record Rockin' Chair the same day, but I wish there was more.

  • I have Rockin' Chair on a 78, along with Georgia on my Mind as the B side. I'll try and upload it soon :)

  • Actually this isn't the first time this song was recorded. That honor goes to Bud Billings' (a pseudonym of Carson Robinson) who recorded it on 12/28/1928. The song was written by Robinson and Frank Luther. Luther was on the recording, but he was not credited, on the label, under his psuedonym, Joe Billings.

  • Thanks for that little gem :)

  • This record was recorded on May 21, 1930. It's Bix's first record date since his breakdown and illness with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra in September of 1929. Besides Bix the other soloists are Benny Goodman (clarinet) and a brief solo on tenor sax by Bud Freeman. Gene Krupa is the drummer and can really be heard throughout.

  • I don't think this was censored at all--it was actually issued. With the primitive technology of those days, it was hard to hear Joe Venuti say "shitter" (I've also heard "shithead"). He was considered a real cut-up, and he would do something like this -- RG

  • I think compared to the original lyrics it was censored?

  • Yeah if you check on Wikipedia you can find the original raunchy lyrics for Barnacle Bill, This is definately a sanitized take on the song,

    I always wonder if any record company from that era put out an uncensored version with most of the lyrics intact.

  • I love this version!the trumpet playing is amazing,and the gruff voices of the band,fit the character of bill perfectly-thanks for a childhood memory...
