... (loves me some Cab -- look at Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Prince, Otis Day and SO many
others... and tell me Cab Calloway didn't show those fellas a thing or two).

I could SWEAR he performed this near the very end of a W.C. Fields movie.

Have you seen "Reefer Madness -- The Musical"?
.
Maybe came out in the 90's and it's fan-fucking-tastic. I recommend it, um... you know... highly.

I would add this tune to the play list for dinner parties and such. My wife asked me not to but somehow I would always forget to 'uncheck' it in Itunes playlist.
