Stool Pigeon

I don't intend for Do What I Tell You to Do Friday to turn into Listen to Songs With Horn Sections Friday; that's just how it's turned out for the first two weeks. This week's song is one I first ran across when I was compiling a set of mix CDs of songs from the '80s that I didn't actually remember from when I was growing up. It's an insanely catchy jazzy Latin-y big band number about a mobster ratting out his pals to the Feds. I know, it sounds like a subject for They Might Be Giants, but it's not treated as a novelty song -- the band is really committed to making this song swing. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kid Creole and the Coconuts' "Stool Pigeon". Hot-cha-cha-cha.

While you're feeling suggestible, you may also wish to check out my latest Onion crossword (as a Word document with one incorrect clue fixed, or in Across Lite format). And if by some chance you just happen to be one of the people Lorinne auditioned for this morning, I think you should cast her. Trust me, I always know best.
