Iko Iko

There is no way for me to end this series of posts without doing iko iko by Dr. John. This song is a favorite of mine.

Carnival Time

This is another that most have probably heard as well. Carnival Time by Al Johnson.

Mardi Gras Mambo

While I'm at it and all of these songs are coming back to me I should post this one as well. This one is the Mardi Gras Mambo. This is one that most have probably heard, but a few might not. Enjoy.

they all asked for you

This is a good one as well. It is by the Meters. I still can remember the first time I heard this song as a young boy. It is called "they all asked for you".
I guess it has been about 15 years since I last I have heard this song and while listening to it I was struck with a sense of sadness that I have yet to sing this song to my boys. I might just let them listen to this post when I get home. I might just need to buy the mp3. Enjoy.

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.....

The Olympic Spirit

Olympics Beijing 08
Official Beijing 08 Logo

You have to wonder what the Chinese were thinking when they created their official Beijing 08 logo. Given the recent events in Tibet I could not help but help try to raise awareness of what is going on. If you have not heard about what has been going on in Tibet then please take the time to get informed.

So why has the United States not withdraw from the Olympics? To answer that question all you have to do is follow the money. I won't get into that in this post, but I can say this. If the Olympic torch passes anywhere close to Chattanooga I am going to be there waving the sign below.

Also, check out this site. They have some other interesting Beijing 08 logos. http://www.beijinglogo.org/
