Big Easy Part II: Electric Boogaloo

Sittin' on a sack of beans

Sittin' down in New Orleans

You wouldn't believe what I've seen

Sitting on that sack of beans

Apache Rose Peacock – Red Hot Chili Peppers

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright

Hear him with the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?

Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot

Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop

House boy knows that he's doing alright

You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?

Brown sugar just like a young girl should, no

Brown Sugar – The Rolling Stones

Note: Fun little fact, this song was recorded in a local studio

 just over the bridge from where I currently live. 

The soul and heartbeat of music is strong here in Alabama.

There's a man in New Orleans

Who plays rock and roll

He's a guitar man

With a great big soul

He lays down a beat

Like a ton of coal

He goes by the name of King Creole

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Hip shaking King Creole

King Creole – Elvis Presley

Did you see him on the street?

Did you pass him at your feet?

Did you think aloud,"how dare they

even look me in the eye'?

And he loves the girls.

And he loves the boys.

Going to make twenty dollars

before the weekends over.

So set him up,

Let him fall.

Turn him over in your hands.

God save the King of New Orleans.

King of New Orleans – Better Than Ezra
