You may know him from "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy," "Stagger Lee," or "Personality," but his catalogue goes deeper. I don't even think I heard this until yesterday. Essentially it is in the tradition of the street cry genre including Gershwin's "Here Come de Honey Man" and the immortal "Peanut Vendor" (aka "El Manisero"). Gotta do a post on those street cry songs, I guess. But for now enjoy the advert for a NOLA delicacy shouted by a true shouter.
