Why Don't You Do Right?" first appeared in 1936 as "The Weed Smoker's Dream", composed by McCoy and recorded by his band, the Harlem Hamfats. The song was subtitled "Why Don't You Do Now" on the original release. McCoy later rewrote the song, refining the composition and changing the lyrics entirely. The new tune was titled "Why Don't You Do Right?" and was recorded by Lil Green in 1941 (with guitar played by Big Bill Broonzy). The recording was an early jazz and blues hit.

And just a year or so later Benny Goodman made a Big Band arrangement of the Lil Green version because Peggy Lee loved singing it in her dressing room while they were doing a movie together. That version of course was a big hit and became a staple of Peggy's career.

You're clearly confused. The new lyrics makes it a new song entirely...using a melody for multiple songs is very much normal...but there's no new tune, goofball. If you'd used the word "song", instead, you'd have been correct. What Hugh Laurie's singer here is doing seems to be mixing together some lyrics from each. The original: Sitting on a million, sitting on it everyday Can't make no money giving your stuff away Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Faye's a betting woman, she bets on every hand She's a tricking mother for you everywhere she lands Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too May's a good looking frail, she lives down by the jail On her back though she got hot stuff for sale Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Sitting on a million, sitting on it everyday can't make no money giving your stuff away Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Put your stuff on the market and make a million... too Hugh Laurie's version: (**where it's different) Sitting on a million, sitting on it everyday Can't make no money giving your stuff away **Why don't you do right**, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Fay's a betting woman, she bets on every hand She's a tricky mother for you, everywhere she lands Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too May's a good looking frail, she lives down by the jail **On the back though** she got hot stuff for sale Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Sitting on a million, sitting on it everyday can't make no money giving your stuff away Why don't you do now, like the millionaires do Put your stuff on the market and make a million too Put your stuff on the market and make a million... too I just find it interesting that those changes were made....though, mostly the first change; the second could even be a slip of the tongue, but the first one seems deliberate, maybe to mess with people more familiar with the lyrics for Why Don't You Do Right.

This song right here is the reason I go to jazz music whenever I get high. I realize that most of my friends immediately go to the obvious choices (i.e. classic rock, reggae, and even R&B,) but for me, jazz is the ultimate pot-smoking soundtrack. It just doesn't get any better than a reefer (or edible) and some of the finest music on earth. :)

Aitor Molina And for good reason. Weed Smokers Dream was originally recorded by the Harlem Hamfats, and was later refined by Kansas McCoy into Why Don't You Do Right, which was recorded by Lil Green in the early 40s. Which in turn, is the song that Jessica Rabbit sings in the bar scene of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. :) Always preferred the Peggy Lee version though myself.

It is not just music that is inspiring under THC, intellectual discussions are also much supported by the weed. If you find and listen to the geostrategic videos by Doug Macgregor or Larry C. Johnson you will see a lot of thankyous and accolades but only rare discussions by this bunch in the comments section. But note the difference in the comments here! Some people even go so far as to say that cannabis was the inspiration that finally ended the Vietnam war. See why the establishment is so negative on the practice?
