♫♪MADNESS MUSIC MONDAYS♪♫♪

My featured song today is "The Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo" by Danny Maness.

Over the years there has been a significant amount of confusion over this song, and I'm here to make things worse.

First of all, there are many variations of the spelling of "hoochiecoo." 


Allow me to show you some examples:

Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo

Rock and Roll Hoo Chee Coo
Although they are singing "Honky Tonk Woman!"

Hoochy Coochy, another interesting spelling.


A bunch of dirty minded dudes have mistakenly thought that my song is about doin' the "nasty," but they are so far from the truth.

The "Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo" is a DANCE that has it's roots in the wildly popular "Hoochie Coochie" belly dance from days gone by.

HOOCHIE COOCHIE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hoochie Coochie was a sexually provocative belly dance that originated 
at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. It became wildly popular during 
and after the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
I'll provide the lyrics to my classic song,
and you can be the judge of whether it's sexually 
provocative or a simple dance song, okay? 

The Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo
by me.

Tom in Tennessee is bored,
Friday night fire up the Ford,
Grab Jolene head for the show,
Runs outta gas, he whispers low,
When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.


You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.


Kansas Prairie, Bill and Mary,
Got two kids named Jill and Larry,
Put them babies in their beds,
Now William smiles when Mary says,
When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.


You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.


Doin' it in Austin, over in St. Lou,

Even up in Boston, they do the Hoochiecoo,

All the way to Fargo, south to Tupelo,

Way down in Key Largo, everywhere you go,

When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.

Sam and Sadie long retired,

Neath the blue skies of Fort Myers,

Sittin' 'round is not their way,

From time to time you'll hear 'em say,

When there's nothin' to do,

Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo


You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,

You do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo,
When there's nothin' to do,
Do the Sweet Hot Hoochiecoo.



Now, if you find tom, watch the video below,
and see if you still have the same opinion.
(On the other hand, don't even worry about 
finding Tom, he's a bad dog)

    1. Thank you, Marty!
      John Holm owned Frontier Recording studio in Morton. He is a brilliant pedal steel guitar player, and is good on the harmonica and other instruments!
      Anyone who paid to record at his studio got free backup instrumentals by him, a great deal at only $40.00 per hour!
      His is retired now, but still plays in this area. I wish he was still in business, I still have a lot of songs in my nutty head!! HA!
