Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher

moonwalk or back slide invented by the great englishman charlie chaplin in the year 1916 from the movie pawnshop

Nothing this man did is better than his performance in the blues brothers....he excelled at 80+years old

hello to anyone who reads this comment if anybody decides to at all. if not its your choice and/or your decision and for that i cannot and will not decide for you. however i just watched a video about a older man named henry and this was one of his favorite musicians and so i just felt compelled to come to check this musician out myself. because i too am a big fan of older music no matter the decade as long as its from older times and i really enjoy this. however i really do recommend you check henry and his story about his personal love for music out

if you do decide to go see for yourself all you need to search is

"man in nursing home reacts to hearing music from his era"

the video is by music & memory

thank you for you're time

have a nice day!

Foundational Black American greatness

Reason I know him because Blue Brother

This man pulled off the drunken master before it left China.

Not bad, but I prefer the Brothers Moving version...

I wonder does his family or children get anything from this. He’s at 15m views… That’s a ton of money

he was the king of coke :D

Cab Calloway was the epitome of a showman.

2023 yes!

My nana loved Cab Calloway (she was born 1908!) and so did I. She used to sing this with me as a child ^^
Yes. I know it’s technically about a hooker, but that just raises her up higher in my estimation 😂

Love this type of music

Blues Brothers brought me here😅

❤ it.💕

Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍 👍 👍.

Cab Calloway - so multi-talented! Great singer, dancer, songwriter, composer. And I never get enough of watching the Nicholas Brothers dancing to the Cab Calloway band.😊

у неё было такое же большое сердце как у кита !

Bro! Unbelievable 🔥

SENSATIONAL!

He look Alike the devilish dice of cup head

This is one of the things that made the U.S. great, the freedom of expression. Nowadays it’s sold by the pound.

That is not the right song

x

I discovered this through a video I saw on ig of a group of street performers singing it

2023 and watched it for the first time

폼미쳤다..

With 12 course meals it wasn’t only her heart that was as big as a whale.

2023 we still here baby ❤❤❤❤🎉

Its 2023 and just adore this man.

He was definitely him ong, a moocher minnie was

... but still lacks the wise and caustic remarks of Reginald Jeeves
😇

Man he was great.

I wish I could have been at the show that night. That has to be the most energetic preformance of that time.

Only 1920s kids will remember this song

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 (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho)
Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee (hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee)
Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey)
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was kokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho)
Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho)
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 platinum wheels
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh (ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh)
Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop
(Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop)
Ah-brr-iggy, brr-iggy, brr-iggy, haw (ah-brr-iggy, brr-iggy, brr-iggy, haw)
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them all a million times
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Oooh (ooh)
Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

What a talent. He gives his all to each performance. That's "ENTERTAINMENT"
