About This Song
About "Makin' Whoopee! (with Rickie Lee Jones)" by Dr. John
A sly, swaggering duet where Dr. John and Rickie Lee Jones trade winks over a woozy New Orleans shuffle. The song's playful courtship becomes a knowing, jazzy romp, its grin masking a tender, tipsy melancholy. Vivid horns and piano conjure a smoky parlor where affection and irony dance cheek to cheek.
