A pre WWI song I once heard Louis Armstrong sing. Who is Dr. John? I’ve heard of Dr. Phil but he’s probably as bad a singer as a doctor.
Dr John is a piano player and songwriter from New Orleans. Had a hit back in the 70s with “Right Place, Wrong Time”, but he has been writing, producing, and playing with just about everybody in blues and rock ‘n roll for 50 years or so.
I heard that line in a song he did, called “How Come My Dog Don’t Bark When You Come Around?”, but he covers a lot of old blues and jazz songs, so he probably got it from Louis.
Oh, I mean the line in that song was actually about a decapitated head singing “I ain’t got no body”, which I just realized is the Louis Armstrong song you were talking about. Duh.
Anyways, I thought maybe you heard the Dr John song where he made the same joke.
