The guy on the washboard is great.reminds me of my grandad and his cronies.great stuff.

Fantastica , great lyrics too: Ella was a dancing girl who started getting fat, Every day brought two more pounds to Ella, Till one day she found she'd lost her job because of that, Then to make it worse, she lost her fella! And so she sailed to Egypt to forget, But she made such a hit that she's there yet! If you hear of a gal who can shake and quake Till it makes you think of a nervous snake, They're speaking of Egyptian Ella! She weighs two-twenty but they don't care, They like 'em plenty that way out there, She has the love of every fella! She does a dance and when she starts, by the River Nile, The boys all take their old sweethearts and throw 'em to the crocodiles! Every sheik in the audience jumps up, and yells that she's immense, How they love Egyptian Ella! The boys hang around, but she plainly states She doesn't care a fig about dates, And they can't make Egyptian Ella! A sheik tried to kidnap her once, I'm told, But she shook so much that he lost his hold, He couldn't take Egyptian Ella! So the Pasha wrote her a royal note with his royal fist, It said because of the dance she does, she's on his royal waiting list, And that's how fame of a diff'rent sort Has come at last from an indoor sport, To our own Egyptian Ella! All the other dancers, from the desert to the Nile, One by one admit that they are jealous, For although they dance each night and wear their sweetest smile, Ella's tent's the one that draws the fellas! And yet her dance is something they can't steal, For nothing else could do it but an eel! If you see a girl with two big hips just like the rudders on two big ships You’re looking at Egyptian Ella With eyes of passion that blink and stare, a disposition that's almost there You can bet upon that Dardanella She does a flip and then a flap and seems to have the knack last night she flip flapped from the mat and very nearly broke her back If you want to know why men by scores have given up kilts and wear plus fours, Blame it on Egyptian Ella!

This is the best version - best sound quality, the sax intro is solid, great clarinet support, good vocals from Erika, the band has gotten the entire tune in its fingers. I'm surprised that no-one has commented on the quality and commitment of Shea's cornet playing. She's driving this performance forward, and her playing is spot-on, both in solo and ensemble.

My feet won't stop moving... this is the real stuff and these musicians are awesome!

You ever listened to a pack of Foxhounds, burning up a trail? Tuba Skinny reminds me of my Louisiana childhood. With my dad, Friday night on Bayou Serpent, listening to a chorus of Walker Hounds' voices, each distinctive, yet blending in perfect harmony. Taking turns, pausing, coming together in hair-raising wonder. What a thrill. Fixed on the blending notes bouncing off the cypress trees and calm waters. That's what Tuba Skinny does. They take me back to bayou and a magical time. Sometimes I just can't breathe. Sound becomes more important than air. We ran Gray Fox. No guns. No drinking. No animal was ever caught or hurt. All races went to ground or up a tree. The fox would give the dogs the slip when they had had enough fun. Foxhunters run fox just to listen to the hounds. Tuba Skinny takes me back to the bayou. What a pure sound.

First time I've seen the washboard prodigy on one of their videos. He's awesome! This band is just so good!

These guys are consistent in producing great music, it is hard to not like most of their numbers.

Louis Armstrong would feel right at home in this ensemble. Man are they good - it doesn't get 'Mo N'awlins' than this.

The Clarinetist is on point! - seamless transitions between the registers. This band is awesome.

I grew up with Dixie band music in 1960'/ 70's because of my Dad. Loved it ever since. You guys are so lively and interesting, masters with your instruments. A twinge and a trick with each piece of music. You are great musicians, each segment perfectly directed. Love the dress code as well, sooooo laid back and casual - befitting your style

All these 'Older' Tuba Skinny videos are the best. Old standards are well-played and sung.

The tenor sax playing makes this piece what it is! That Arab-style melody plays from start to finish.

I just WISH I could play the sax and clarinet like them. Been playing over 30 years.

Must be my favourite of all Tuba Skinny . Thank you .

People that don't like this are really missing out and must have a very limited appreciation of music. I will see them someday if I get the chance.

If I had a time machine, I'd only need to go back 10 years and move to New Orleans.

Erika and her drum are something special.

I think I'm becoming addicted to Tuba Skinny!

Jeez, Americans with cameras! Shove it in your face, they just walk in front of one another, authorised by possessing the camera. They’d be fighting a lot in the U.K. I can assure you. Not claiming we are better mannered, just that we are less ‘pushy’. Erica is great here, this tune was written for her. Egyptian Ella, I love it. Thank you TS.

The best version of Egyptian Ella! What rhythm!

If there’s a more perfect band out there, I haven’t found it yet.

Love! Love! Love!!! Tuba Skinny!!! xo

This is an absolutely brilliant rendition and performance. Tuba Skinny is the best in the world. Fair absolutely brilliant individually and collectively. Erika Lewis often sounds like a reincarnation of Bessie Smith and the other brilliant singers of her day. Erika really captures that sound.

" Best"...well..that is a tall order.. they're daggoned good enough for me...and they are one of the HAPPIEST bands, fo sho. I want to get the words to this song.

Oh My Gawd that song kills it

Tuba Skinny! Timeless New Orleans Jazz at its best. Name this one Egyptian Erika. I love it when she growls.

And now it's even better with the clarinet and sax!
