Actually, Los Lobos did this eons ago. Check out "Just Another Band from East L.A. compilation. I think there is a live version on it if I recall correctly. And although Squirrel Nut Zippers may or may not do this cover, I want to say Big Bad Voodoo Daddy does it. (So your swing band is covered...)Edited By camarkim at 1:27 pm on 7/28/2003

I thought this was Los Lobos, perhaps going undercover for some reason. In particular it reminds me very much of their cover of that Jungle Book song mentioned earlier in the comments.

I guess the only explanation is that in the beginning people liked it.. marked it as such, and then they never come back to re-rate the song as it gets too much play, or because after a time it starts to grate on their nerves..

when it came on.. I stopped winamp... started it again to see that it was still playing.. guess I should just open a browser and watch for the next song to show up in the play list.. :(



I don't mind this and hardly detect any overplay. How many *weeks* has it been since this was last played? Good in the RP mix.

There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many better Entrain tunes than this. I'd love to hear some others on RP.

I not only remember Kid Creole, I remember his first incarnation in Dr. Buzzard's Original Savanah Band, a great band with a real hip-swinging sound that disolved far too soon. I highly recommend them.

It reminds me of the Jungle Book song too, but I don't hold it against them. I wouldn't give it a 10, but I think it's a fun, upbeat song to have in the mix.

Fine be that way...force me to go watch the Jungle Book video...or at least that part of it.

I guess that'll help justify the $15.00 I spent on it a few years ago.

This original is probably hard to find, but if you want to hear for yourself, check out the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy version on the Swingers soundtrack.

as a fan of Disney's jungle book toon, I can honestly say that I don't recall King Louis singing a song similar to this.

Either way, this song kicks, but I wouldn't want to hear it several times a day, it'd get old...but in moderation it's great :D

After monitoring all the fuss on the "comments" board, I now understand it. This is good little tune, even if it is a rip. The latin flavor is good on the palate.

In any case, King Louie and I like it!
