"Here Come the Girls"

37 years after its original release, a song by the late great New Orleans singer Ernie K-Doe (best known for "Mother in Law") has come back to life. "Here Come the Girls" became a hit in a British tv ad last year, and now the original K-Doe album the song came from will be re-released.

The CD release party is Saturday night at the New Orleans Rock and Bowl (better known as the Mid City Lanes). Admission is $10, but all ladies in evening gowns get in free!

"Taking place on the seventh anniversary of Ernie K-Doe’s internment, the event will include 101 formally attired ladies, dozens of gentleman clad in black and white tuxedos and K-Doe’s band, the Blue Eyed Soul Revue."
