single, 1950
Written by Paul Bascomb
A slick swing-blues number à la Louis Jordan, with hot sax licks in between real cool half-spoken lyrics: "I might look funny but I got plenty loot / I got enough to make an elephant a swagger suit." And "Keep cool / You fool / I know the Golden Rule / I got this money / From a gal named Honey." The man wants a car, and insists it must be pink! For those who like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, this here is the original. (Note, online there are several sources that say this was released in 1960, but I think it's more likely 1950.)
