| skibbenr (halifax, ns, canada) | Posted: Nov 03, 2011 - 19:29 Ha! When this came on I had to check right away to see if it was King Bob. Obviously a few others had the same thought. I love the Queen's version! |

| gosvimmink (portland, or) | Posted: Aug 01, 2011 - 10:21 This sounds like one of the songs in Diddy Kong Racing, perhaps a snow level |
| 2cats (Oklahoma) | Posted: Jan 24, 2011 - 12:28 Come on you guys, this is a classic. |

True enough, but this unholy amalgam brewed for the tourist trade isn't it. Some original Little Nathan or Zachary Richard, however, would provide a more accurate ear exam for zydeco tolerance.WayUpNorth wrote: Hearing this song just makes me feel sick about what's happening in the gulf right now and the impact it will likely have on the area... Update - the impact of the horrific oil spill is less than originally thought, and ecological recovery is (for the most part) occurring faster than projected. Didn't have to be that way. A real miracle and lesson there.The moratorium on drilling, however (both actual and defacto through permitting), is currently wrecking communities, families and all of the support industries including agricultural and fishing that are intertwined in a fifty year relationship in South Louisiana. A case of experts from afar with no knowledge coming in and assuming people are too dumb to help themselves or understand their own community. Imposing kneejerk theory on their proven practice. Decreases national security, increases the transfer of US wealth to the Middle East. A second disaster, manmade as well. The music moved all over after Katrina, but is slowly heading home. Come down to Acadiana and see for yourself. Lafayette is a good town to start with. You will have a great time, meet some wonderful people, eat incredible food and get the first hand scoop on the complicated issues surrounding oil, fisheries, estuary preservation and the future of an area very different from the tourist traps of the French Quarter. C'est si bon, mon cher! Venir ici et passez un bon temp! |
| juanrico (Mexico city) | Posted: Nov 22, 2010 - 10:52 Organic and Playful! Long live Queen Ida and Louisiana! |

Thanks for playing this — it made the whole situation suddenly very "real" for me. The power of music ... |
| Bluesgrrl (New Orleans) | Posted: Jun 16, 2010 - 05:52 Need more Zydeco!!!  |

Love the cajun accordion on this, but I could do without yer woman's voice. Sacrilege I know, but I'll take Karen Carpenter's version :) |

| Alpine (N39d39mW121d30m) | Posted: Apr 13, 2010 - 16:35 Just last night I downloaded 6 Hank Williams tunes. This was one of them. |
| Marley (Portland, Or) | Posted: Feb 09, 2010 - 12:49 Reminds me of the Blues Festival we have here every 4th of July weekend. One day is always Zydeco day. I think Queen Ida has played before. |
| pherthyl (Victoria, BC) | Posted: Feb 09, 2010 - 12:49 I remember liking this when I was a kid. Now it seems way too simple and repetitive. 3 |

| Pyro | Posted: May 01, 2009 - 13:22 As a native Louisianaian, I must say this version really sucks wind. The band's ok, but her vocals —  |
