WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

"Swamp Pop" - The Meters

Posted about 1 year ago
The song, titled "They All Ask'd For You," was recorded by the original Meters during the '70s and was based on an ancient New Orleans nursery rhyme, as interpreted by drummer "Zigaboo" Modeliste. It can currently be found on Funkify Your Life: the Meters Anthology (Rhino), one of OffBeat's "100 Essential Louisiana CDs.This track I took from my copy of " The Very Best of the Meters", and was written by Arthur "Red" Neville and George Porter, Jr.

  5. waydutch says NRBQ did an adaptation of this too they called "Down at the Zoo". Don't have access to it right now but think it was their "God Bless Us All" album.
