Louis Armstrong - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

Click More Info - Lyrics
Louis Armstrong, 1952

There was three children from the land of Israel
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Took a trip to the land of Babylon
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

He took a lot of gold and made an idol
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

And he told everybody when you hear the music of the trumpet
And he told everybody when you hear the music of the flute
And he told everybody when you hear the music of the horn
You must fall down and worship the idol
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

But the children of Israel would not bow down
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

So the king put the children in a fiery furnace
He heaped on coal and red-hot brimestone
Seven times hotter, hotter than it oughta be
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Well they couldn't even burn a hair on the head of Shadrach
Laughing and talking while the fire is jumping around

Old Nebuchadnezzar called "Hey there!" when he saw the power of the Lord

And they had a big time in the house of Babylon
. . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

As I recall, Mickey Rooney plays a drummer who gets accused of murder. Lot of music in this little corker: Louis Armstrong (with Jack Teagarden, etc), Vic Damone. My mother loved this song, played it all the time. We got a pointer puppy, and named it Shadrach, Then we got a stray mutt, that was literally starving, and named it Jackal. I like the way this is shot, almost entirely with one camera.
