Sidney Bechet said "Muskrat Ramble" was a ripoff of a Buddy Bolden tune...."The old cow died and the old man cried".......so a ripoff of a ripoff for Country Joe
From 24 seconds to 46 seconds the trumpet is playing the "Cheer".......don't be distracted by the clarinets and trombone parts......it is the melody Country Joe used@@sunkintree
"And it's one, two, three, "What are we fightin' for? "Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. "Next stop is Vietnam. "And it's five, six, seven, "Open up the Pearly Gates "Well there ain't no time to wonder why "Whoopee, we're all gonna die." --Country Joe McDonald
when I first heard this song that's exactly what I thought. upon further investigation the ory family sued over 30 years later. it was thrown out of court because they took Too long
One of the swingy-est rhythm sections ever - very "Count Basie"-ish!
Country Joe may have won the lawsuit because Kid Ory's daughter brought her lawsuit too late but who is he kidding? Total rip of Muskrat Ramble.

I don't hear the similarity at all. Are my ears broken? This sounds like a joke that's flying over my head

Por "Muskrat Ramble" Kid Ory cambio para mal. Ya no era amigo de sus amigos
Read about Mr. Ory in the January 2021 issue of Smithsonian magazine!
Just finished reading it. Also enjoyed the half page at the conclusion of Ory's story, "FASCINATING WOMEN".
Fantastique
I'd rather listen to the the original version!!
"And it's one, two, three,
"What are we fightin' for?
"Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
"Next stop is Vietnam.
"And it's five, six, seven,
"Open up the Pearly Gates
"Well there ain't no time to wonder why
"Whoopee, we're all gonna die."

and it's 1,2,3 what are we fighting for, don't ask me, I don't give damn next stop is Vietnam
Cannot understand why all these Blues and Ragtime songs are called Jazz by some people. I hear more emotional depth from my blender.
Lamest comment possible.
