Kelly (currently recording "can I stay one step in front of the Feds" for a fall 2054 street date, assuming he is paroled).
The Song of the Day is from Snatch. It's actually from the late '50s, and you can hear how much this track is influenced by Fats Domino, Dr. John, and it fit the mood of the movie perfectly. So, let's get to it:
