day 288: Minnie the Moocher

Minnie the Moocher, by Cab Calloway.

The first time I sang this song at karaoke was in Louisville at IRE NICAR, at a sort of “oh I guess we’re doing this” informal karaoke night, and there were… a number of people there? A good number. I don’t think I had ever sung the whole thing before, but I was most likely the only person in the room that once saw Cab Calloway sing this song live and in person which was a treat I probably appreciated for the singalongness of it.

Also, the Blues Brothers.

A horn section! I made some minor efforts to break it up when it should be broken up with different parts.
