Outside of the country community, Jambalaya (On The Bayou) is a song by... (insert name of pretty much everyone). When I showed Mrs BathroomWall, here first react was "At last, a Carpenters design". If the truth be told, the first time I heard it was sung by Professor Longhair and I thought it was originally by Fess's fellow New Orleans native, Fats Domino. Only then was I lead to the Hank Williams original and the nuance of the king of country taking a Cajun theme into the mainstream market.
