EVERYBODY LOVES THAT HADACOL - English Version - Basin Street Six - 1950

Here is a song that originated from the jingle for a "patent medicine", HADACOL. Very popular in the dry counties of the south because the "dietary supplement" contained 12% alcohol as a "preservative". Apparently, there were places you could go, "health bars" I guess you could call them, where this tonic was offered in shot glasses. There is a pretty interesting article about this in WIKIPEDIA. Check it out. This is the Cajun version of the song. An English version was also released. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this. I believe there was another version in Creole.
