So Swifty got me thinking (bad news I know), what songs do you spin that constantly get people coming to the booth in droves?


Here's a few for me...

- Oh, Lady Be Good (Benny Goodman Live at the Rainbow Grill)
- Black Beauty (Hal Smith's Roadrunners)
- King Porter Stomp (Kansas City After Dark)
- Black and Blue (Bechet)
- I've Found a New Baby (Vince Giordano)
- Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me (Bechet). Yeah. Still popular here.

*giggle*
Are people going to give away their charms to so many people at once and risk hearing their beloved bests become the next national "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me?"

Seriously, though, the one that I've had people ask about most often, lately, is:
Duke Ellington - "Kinda Dukish / Rockin' in Rhythm" - Soul Call

Dangit, Ryan, now you've got that song stuck in my head and I'm down from 10% productivity here to 2%. *digs out MP3 player to assuage song-stuckness*

No kidding. I can't stand to listen to "Blue My Naughty Sweetie" any more. Ben and Jerry's Half Baked is good and my favorite flavor but I can't eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner . . .

Seriously. I need to keep my mouth shut. BMNSGTM being a prime example of such. Bastards!

I so knew you'd never actually answer this question Reub.

For the record, I can only handle playing that song (as much as I love it) about once every 3-4 months at this point.

This used to be one for me but almost everyone's got it at this point.

I know I've got another one from an unexpected soundtrack that I get lots of questions on but it's not coming to mind right now.

James Dapogny's "Do You Wanna Jump, Children?"

Big 18, "Blues on Parade"

Fleetwood Mac, "Don't Stop" with the USC marching band.

Eminem "Without Me"


And, for the record, I have no idea what "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me" is. It looks like I'm even more out of touch than Reuban claims he is.

Is Artie Shaw's Man from Mars one of them?

Ah - "Blues in the Bucket" - The Spencer Wyatt Big Band, from the Majestic Soundtrack.
