Topic: Dr. John stankyness

I am in love with this song. The lyrics are fantastic. Found it by accident while Spotifying today. Should be added to lists of "two chord songs."

Love it! But now I wanna know the origins - I thought it was an old Irish Drinking Song.

Cool song, BGD ... as you say, a perfect one to add to anyone's repertoire, but especially someone learning.

I always love Dr. John's swamp rock. He's got a great groove, a great feel, indecipherable lyrics, and his left hand plays much better bass lines than I'll ever conceive.  Plus he has great hats.
