One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Mardi Gras Mambo” by The Hawketts!!!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

It will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

My radio show, “Prime Time Theme Attic,”  is on Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET but is on hiatus because of the pandemic.

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey…at least sometimes!

Mardi Gras is coming up next week and every year I devoted part of my show–if not the whole show, to music and themes around the event!

Unfortunately, this year Mardi Gras will be more Yardi Gras, but you have to find your fun where you can get it.

Some of the songs that I played have turned into some of my favorites!

The show would not be complete without the smoky saxophone and greasy groove of “Mardi Gras Mambo” by The Hawketts!

The video captures some of that spirit!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Mardi Gras Mambo” by The Hawketts!!! (Unnh!)
