My fiancé is from New Orleans and introduced me to this group about 15 years ago and I have such great memories of this song and falling in love. I can't thank these guys enough.
@MistaMeowmers
The scene in Chef with this song has got to be my favorite scene from that movie. They just sing it so well, a lot of feeling (I know they're acting but still.)

Mista Meowmers I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure that Jon Favreau just turned on the camera at that point and said, "Let's do some silly stuff and embarass the kid", lol
@MistaMeowmers
Steven Wauford wouldn't be surprised haha
