This soundtrack is still one of my most favorite albums ever...fantastic from the 1st track to the last.

[@billwilliams8866]

Hi Peter, this is still my favourite opening to a movie.

[@lilylittlemonster5]

@@billwilliams8866 Totally agree. The panning over the bayou just sets the tone for the movie. The pace, the rhythm just captures New Orleans.

[@scottgray5678]

Mine too, this was my gateway album into a lifetime love of zydeco and cajun music and New Orleans! My other big gateway album was "Louisiana Spice: 25 Years of Louisiana Music on Rounder Records."

[@ChristopherPlatt]

@@billwilliams8866 I came here looking specifically for this song over The Big Easy opening credits flyover. 35 years on it is still a remarkable and memorable scene.

[@TheSaneHatter]

Hearing this song play over the opening credits of "The Big Easy" was worth the price of the whole movie.

[@izacnewton5761]

still the best version

[@timhale748]

Agreed

[@billj8513]

Hands down the best

[@pjmichaelsrocksyou]

Just saw The Big Easy for the 1st time last night. Loved it. I have this song stuck in my head now.

[@dextercooper3090]

I Loved how Zydeco Gris Gris blended in during the beginning credits while an ariel shot from the bayous with houseboats till the ships were lit during the night.

[@carolynsteele1027]

I went out and bought the album the next day after seeing the movie❤

[@thedealer777]

Oh yeah! You gonna like dis cher, ...a WHOLE lot, ...GUAAARRUUNTEEED!!

[@katherinerturman]

My Favorite as well....Love the movie, but the soundtrack is Fantastic!!~

[@ReflectorGwen]

This song & genre gets the tors tapping and buns shaking!

[@renyyoung2883]

Don't understand a word they are saying but love love love this song! Everytime at Mardi gras i have to play it with other great Zydeco music

[@TheSaneHatter]

I think it's all about voodoo and werewolves.....

[@TheWanderingCajun]

Al'Tout partout au ras du bayou La mousse ce balance dans les gros chêneverts Cocodries dormir en cyprière Fuefollet (swamp gas) danser en cimitière Vent plein de cris des loups-garous Pieds tapé un rythme là fou M' là connaît jolie Zydeco et la trapé grouiller aux os Zydeco chaud apé vini plus chaud Gens creoles crier -- la grand eau Plie bien fret capé mouilli Pas capab froidir sang qu'apés bouilli Beaux et belles ca fait ses projets Et maman fait gron Loin, loin dans le cyprière noir Tout quelqu'un créole crie pour Zydeco

[@ChristopherPlatt]

I'd like to see an accurate English translation. As usual Google Translate version is pretty puzzling.

[@TheWanderingCajun]

@@ChristopherPlatt on youtube, check out the video where they perform it in what looks to be a cave. He sings it in English and in Cajun French there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXPag5eaocqEgJo

Louisiana is the best place to ever be, bar none

[@JamesPoli]

I would love to verify that. Certainly one of the best women i have ever met is from New Orleans. I often think about her

[@jeffcollins9995]

@@JamesPoli Its verified, take my word for it

Hey Toi, allons dancer !!!

[@johnryder1713]

Never had much contact with this kinda music prior to this movie, but loved every note, didn't Quaid sing one song on it?

[@scottgray5678]

Yeah he sings (and cowrote with Terrance Simien) "Closer to You".

[@shaidr]

Does anybody know where this live version comes from? Not available on Spotify or anywhere else

[@michaelkazich4605]

I too would love to know this

[@sdubon7800]

Big Easy soundtrack

[@linshanhsiang]

What about the song that plays over the ending credits? It's not on the soundtrack,,,!

[@orgonsolo6291]

Party tune deluxe!

[@ralimis]

Fuckin' tune

[@howlinhonky]

anyone know if this was this on any Beausoleil album or just on the big easy soundtrack

[@garryragan9975]

yep, it's the first track on BeauSoleil's 2002 release 'Bayou Boogie.' Highly recommended!

[@dextercooper3090]

@@garryragan9975 I've got on Amazon Music unlimited

[@shaidr]

@@garryragan9975 it’s not this version though. Where does this version come from???

[@howlinhonky]

@@shaidr 4 years later I still haven't found this version on any other album

[@tecumsehtm]

Me either. It’s the best version. Maybe it was recorded for the movie?

[@andrewbutton5580]

This song is so terrible it almost makes circle into the likeable catagory because everything is so bad. Kinda infectious because its so off key. They should force inmates to listen this over and over. i had this soundtrack on CD when it came out (admittedly, some of the songs on that soundtrack are fabulous), and I finally broke downand pulled it out of my cd player in the shop player when this tune was playing and I ended that disk with power tools right then and there.

You must be fun at parties.

It sounds great when you’re on your 18th beer or third bottle of bourbon
