There was a movie in the early 70's called 'Southern Comfort' based around some national guardsmen on exercise down in the swamps of Louisiana with Cajun people. In the film there was a well known Cajun band called 'The Balfa Brothers' playing a song called 'La parlez nous et Boire' and sung in Cajun French (I have the L.P.).......This is exactly the same music, not sure about the lyrics though!

Couldn't agree more! Exactly Right! Traditional folk cajun song from 1981 Walter Hill's star studded epic masterpiece! Much older tune that maybe even pre-dates the french settlers in the bayou!

Back in the day i LOVED a movie called Southern Comfort (1981) and its cool Cajun soundtrack. One song in particular called Parlez Nous A Boire by The Balfa Brothers was my favourite. Listening to it decades later on KZbin i clocked the similarity between the tune of that and this? I could sing the lyrics of Whats The Colour Of Money to Parlez, they literally have the same tune and with this track releasing AFTER Southern Comfort in 1987? I looked it up and YES Hollywood Beyond talked about using that Balfa Brothers tune as a basis. So cool!

They only want blood,as they say. But when this was a hit here in the UK we still had our own "greenback" if you like,the old green £1 note that was replaced with the £1 coins they introduced in the 80s. There is a splash of red on our £50 notes.
