*OPEN* Five Guys Named Moe
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 11:04 pm
I heard a version 2 weeks ago playing in the background in an antique shop. Long story why I didn't ask shop assistant about it.
It was definitely not a Louis Jordan version - those are all way faster than this one.
This one sounded like the Mills Brothers backed by musicians. I've no idea WHO it really was though, that's just about the best description I can give.
The tempo was relaxed, as I say, more than the Louis Jordan versions, but not down at 120-130. It also had a slightly more 2-beat feel than 4-beat. Perhaps somewhere around the 'Jump Session - Slim & Slam' tempo and rhythm.
Definitely not from the past 20-30 years.
The song was definitely Five Guys Named Moe.
Any ideas for the performers?
