Louis, 1966
Written by Louis Armstrong and Irving Fields
This novelty song has similar vibes (though nothing in the melody) to Cab Calloway's "Keep That Coffee Hot." It's got, in addition to Armstrong's wonderful trumpet, clarinet, piano, and banjo, giving it a bouncy down-home feel. Armstrong sings and scats with abandon; it's probable that he meant this title as a sort of winking joke, "cheesecake" being a term for risqué depictions of the female body. Gobble gobble!
