blues brothers- minnie the moocher

Here's the extended Cab Calloway song from The Blues Brothers movie

I loved this song growing up. When I rented the DVD a while back I noticed every song on the DVD version was longer. In this version, Calloway has more verses in the song and there's an extended cut of the Blues Brother sabotaging the police cars as well. You won't find this on the TV versions.

Calloway wanted to sing another version of the song and he wasn't happy when the producers asked him to sing the original version. This is great display of Call and Response in action, and something that makes American music very different than European music.
