From May '61, some #1 New Orleans stylings from Ernest Kador, billed as Ernie K-Doe. Benny Spellman sang bass here. Written by NOLA legend Allen Toussaint, who was actually single at the time. Allen's granny was horrified the first time she heard the lyrics, but she forgave him. Ernie later became a radio DJ and opened a pub called the Mother-In-Law Lounge. He died in 2001, but his widow kept it open until Hurricane Katrina destroyed the place. It reopened, but she died on Fat Tuesday in 2009.
