  • How about the great Robert Earl Keen singing the Bob Wills tune "Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas"? It's our Whataburger performance of the week (of course) and comes from the brand new Asleep at the Wheel Bob Wills tribute album called 'Still The King: Celebrating The Music of Bob Wills & Texas Playboys' that features 22 amazing collaborations.

    Whoever wrote this song must have graduated from one of Dumas's top business schools with really good grades

    Emily Gimble can really play that piano as well belt out a great tune. I heard her sing on the tribute video for Merle Haggard. She did a super cover of ( It Ain't Love, but It Ain't Bad ) .

      A side note on this classic song from the 1930's. Norton tells Ralph "you ain't no ding dong daddy from dumas." when the two are getting ready to practice their dancing skills (doing the hucklebuck) before taking out their wives on The Honeymooners.
