Jake had a vision. It was his, the only real one he'd ever had, and he clung to it. It had always been the blues. Even back in the Rock Island City orphanage (that sweaty kid factory) Jake and Elwood were saved by the music. Actually, saved by a gray-haired janitor everybody called Curtis. He wore sinister midnight shades, a narrow black tie and a porkpie hat that he kept pushed back on his head. Curtis wrapped his waxy brown hands around his guitar neck and played the most dangerous blues this side of Robert Johnson. The nuns scorched the brothers’ days with holy threats and Curtis rescued them by night. Down in the coolness of his basement he taught them the blues and set in motion their mission: to live the healing message of music.
Silent Elwood never did put more than two sentences together, but all those lost words burned from his Special 20 blues harp. And Joliet tore that voice from some hidden darkness, twisting his chubby body, snarling at the heavens, a born sinner. They used the basement because it was secret and because the echo gave them a nice dirty sound: Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walker, slapping like a bad dream around the chilly room. And then one night, Jake brought in a gleaming E string he said came from Elmore James’ guitar. He held it tight and as it glowed in the bulb light, Jake sliced Elwood’s middle finger and then his own. Now the solo boys with soul in their blood were brothers. Jake and Elwood Blues … the Blues Brothers.

Ahh the blues brothers. I remember me and bro were getting drunk watching their movie. At the beginning they talk about buying used cop cars. Well we thought that was a good idea. So my bro goes down to the city auction and scores one for 400 bucks. It’s a wonder we didn’t wind up in jail. We raised so much hell in those cars. They were fast and handled good. If we messed one up like bend the frame we would just go get another one. Really honest to good it’s the truth. That was back in the 80’s. Not sure you could even get one now. This movie will always be special.

It was December the sixth 1983
I was doin' time for armed robbery
At four in the morning, I was sitting in my cell
I heard a whistle blow, and I heard somebody yell
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
Our warden said Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot you're all gonna get the chair
And Scarface Jones said It's too late to quit
Pass the dynamite, don't you give me any shit
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
On the 47th hour the nerve gas got our men
We're all back in our cells but every now and then
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine

In one recording I came across recently by another band, the second stanza ended as, "Pass me the dynamite, 'cuz the fuse is lit."

[@rolandofgilead43]

this is the best version of this song but The Beach boys did a cover around (1970)-(1971) in concert i don't think it was ever recorded it's so damn good check it out but this version is better i think

[@nathanwolfson2966]

The L.A. Express make this version the best.
