don't mess with my toot toot

While involved in some semi random political conversation over email the last few days I was reminded of a few songs that I grew up with. I guess it never really dawned on me that most people outside the New Orleans area would have never heard these songs before. This song is called "don't mess with my toot toot".

This is not the version of the song I remember growing up with, but it is close enough.....

I heard this song when I was about 13 (in Virginia, quite a ways from New Orleans). The original Zydeco artist is "Rockin' Sidney," and the spelling with which I'm familiar is "My Toot Toot." (A little double meaning there, perhaps?)

Thanks Joe. That was the version I was looking for. I did not think tu tu was right but at imeem.com had it as tutu so I went with that. I like Rockin Sidney's version much better. It has a much faster zydeco beat to it. I will change the title of the post......
