Folks, here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red hot hoochie-coocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hi de hi de hi de hi
Ho de ho de ho de ho
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Ho oo waooo waoooo
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown and showed her
How to kick the gong around
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-whooooaaaa-ahhhh-ohh
He-de-he-de-hee-de-he
Ho-oh-ho-oh
She had a dream about the king of Sweden
He gave her things, that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car, with the puh-latinum wheels
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-oh
Skeedle-a-booka-diki biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
A-booriki-booriki-booriki Hoy!
He gave her his town house and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted it all a million times
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
He-de-he-de-hee-de-hee
Poor Min! Poor Min! Poo-oor Min

Of course - Blues Brothers! For some reason the film version I remember most is the one in the superb Cotton Club (and yes, I know it wasn't performed by Cab Calloway).
My ex-wife liked this song, so it’s ruined for all time
that PSD button is excellent
Just to prove that you never know what William will play.
It's like a music history lesson

You do understand that call and response in music/song was long a part of black culture before all of that right?

In 2020, The Blues Brothers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Can someone explain to me why people like this song so much? I despise it, and mute RP every time it is on.

After being introduced to Cab C. through the BB Movie, I actually got to see Cab perform live back in 1988 in London.
Just Brilliant

Blues Brothers forever!!!!!
My son, aged 12, loves them too. And especially CCs act. Great show.
I hope it will never die.
A little cinema near by shows the movie once a year for easter,
since 40 years, except this year.

I forgot how amazing this is, both as a song and a movie scene.
There is a bank a couple of doors from the Ellington and five blocks from the Howard in DC. It has a wall size picture Cab and the Duke jamming. Pretty cool for a bank.
because it is annoying as hell I gave it 3
Gave it a 9 just because its the blues brothers
A great song supporting one of the best films ever made ![dance](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/eusa_dance.gif)

BEST LYRICS EVER : )
Love that the lyrics attempts to include the more complicated (non-replied) scat singing.
Audience participation ..... and orderly!
This was among the best parts of "The Blues Brothers," IMO.

My mom saw him live when she worked at a theater in the late 1930s. Loved him then and still does. I guess that sentiment influenced my opinion. The Blues Brothers only strengthened it.

I wouldn't say they were desperate for an Aykroyd-styled invite...but I'm sure it didn't hurt...and it certainly put them (back) in front of a young audience that was more or less clueless at the time.

No one took this album seriously in 1980. Dan Aykroyd really pulled off quite a stunt when he got so many incredible musicians together for this soundtrack.

If you like this song, you must check out Cab Calloway and cast in "Stormy Weather." What a movie!!!
Twice I've thought I found a girl who loved me then I found out they were really just a Minny.
This was my 5 year old son's favorite song until he was 7. Now that he's 9, he wants to listen to Imagine Dragons and Maroon 5. I miss the good old days.
I'm a young guy and have never seen the Blues Brothers, so it's not that weird I never heard this song at all.
Then an hour ago I read about a reference to this song in Over The Garden Wall, really like it, and add it to some of my playlists.
An hour later RP plays it. Yet before this evening I never even knew about it. Awesome stuff!

Aside from Duke Eliington, Cab Calloway was probably the next most influential band leader of that era, as far as jazz innovations were concerned. It's probably a little unfortunate that the gimmicky (yet catchy) "Minnie The Moocher" is the one song most often played by this musical titan. Sort of like the way that "Rockit" will always follow Herbie Hancock around.
just watched the movie for the nth time... and I just can't stop enjoying every second of it!
