Minnie the Moocher: the Harlem Renaissanceby tabyjean32,495 views
I have a suspicion that this song was possibly inspired by "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band. I don't know for sure that it was released first, but it was an international hit (well, it was in the USA as well as Britain), and its intentional faux old-time sound did bring out some other mild imitations.

This song was originally recorded by Cab Calloway in1931 so it has nothing to do with 'Winchester Cathedral'. The Cherokees version is sort of a a jug band version that has it's own quaint appeal.
