I forgot a "but" in that post but you can assume it's there.

Speaking of which, I was surprised by the mention of "Funky Butt" in that Jazz Masters of New Orleans book

"...Bolden's singer, Lorenzo Stall, would offer these words to the melody known (still known) traditionally along the Mississippi as Funky Butt, known commercially as a theme in St. Louis Tickle, and known in New Orleans as Buddy Bolden's Blues".

I think there was also some mention in that book of a nightclub named the "Funky Butt". I wonder if the "Funky Butt" song had a particular dance movement associated with it which was called the"Funky Butt"and if it looked anything like the 1988 hit R&B song by Experience Unlimited (EU) "Da Butt" (also given as "Doin Da Butt" and "Doing The Butt"). That song was featured in a Spike Lee movie whose name escapes me, but that YouTube video was recently pulled. Here's another video of that dance as performed in a school talent show:

In case anyone is interested, the words to that song are found here.

Does anyone know where I can find the words to that Bolden's "Funky Butt" song and more information about it, including its date?
