I want to be a D.J.

I've been primpin' my Facebook with playlists, including song clips with great titles, like:

The Witch Queen of New Orleans (Redbone)
Paying the Cost to Be the Boss (BB King)
Nobody Loves Me But My Mother (and she could be jivin' too)--BB King
Chicken Ain't Nothing But a Bird
Are You All Reet?
Is You Is Or Is You Ain't? (above three as performed by Cab Calloway)
You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy)
Stop the Wedding--Etta James
Love Me Like a Man--Bonnie Raitt
Mr. Jelly Roll Baker (performed by Leon Redbone).

I want to be a DJ; my show would be called "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" and I would play all kinds of wonderful songs.

For now, enjoy the following video of Cab Calloway (Fred Astaire said this was, in his opinion, the best tapdancing ever put on film). And then, all you hep cats get up and dance!
