What a fascinating washboard player Robin is ! Salute !

Yes. On You Tube you can hear the original 'Fingering With Your Fingers' played by the Mississippi Sheiks (1935). Tuba Skinny follow the original faithfully.

Tous excellents ces musiciens (et les danseurs aussi!)

Tuba Skinny coming to Australia next March, bliss!!!

Robin's solo is exceptionally good.

That was so good! I didn't want it to end!

Absolutely wonderful magnificent real talent, and Erica Lewis awesome" the goddess is in the wings"

What a great solo, Robin! You certainly are the best washboard player I ever heard!

Great tune!

When I saw Tuba Skinny in April of this year I asked them the name of this song. They told me it was "Fingering with your Fingers".

Here I am again, a dollar short and a day late I just found this outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed the TS videos.

It sure sounds a lot like "Exactly Like You" with music written by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and published in 1930. If it isn't Tuba Skinny's own arrangement of that, it's awfully close and whatever they're playing sounds like it's based on that. Really great! Thanks for uploading this. This band really jumps - just wish Shaye would play the piano more often.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

wow, really enjoyed it!

Son muy buenos estos músicos yo también soy baterista

Sax tenor...bárbaro.. tremendo

that drumming instrument just rocks!

John Doyle on Sax . . . YES!

Grandioso!

Looks good when ONLY Man & Woman dancing to good big easy style music.

Great music

Thanks for the input. I thought it sounded like "Exactly Like You" also. Glad you are enjoying the Tuba Skinny videos.

Yowza!! Now I just wants to go to N'awlins and sit in with Tuba Skinny! You guys are the bees knees! I gots me a new YT fave. Got any arrangements for the musical saw? Now that's music... yassuh!!!

Agreed this tune (originally by the Mississippi Sheiks and not by Jimmy McHugh) is very similar to 'Exactly Like You'. But the Middle Eight is different; in fact the Middle Eight sounds like that of 'Ice Cream' and uses the 'Ice Cream' Middle Eight chord progression.

I did finally look up and was surprised to find the washboard thing is considered a musical instrument.

This is not "Exactly Like You" by Jimmy McHugh. to my ears. Any other offers?

Is Olive Oyl dancing?

Does anyone know who wrote this and when?

All of them are great, but Mr Doyle and Mr Bleach add a certain je ne sais quoi...

Chords are different.

This is , indeed, "Fingering With Your Fingers". The Mississippi Sheiks basically stole it note for note from Jimmy McHugh's "Exactly Like You", with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, which had been published in 1930 and then changed the "Middle Eight" to make it sound livelier in 1935 - but without changing anything else, even the tempo - a cheap way of creating a new song, instead of a new arrangement of "Exactly Like You". But Pops Coffee is absolutely WRONG when he says the Middle Eight sounds like it's from "Ice Cream". It's not even remotely similar ! Here we go again with the same stupid argument with him where he finds a similar chord progression but completely IGNORES the totally DIFFERENT MELODY and then tries to say they're the same or very similar, when they're not. It would be fine if he simply pointed out that although they sound completely different, the chord progression of the Middle Eight is similar. Jazz is far MORE than just similar chord progressions. Without the melody, every single song with the same chord progression would sound the same, which is absurd. The blues, for example uses many similar chord progressions over and over again to create thousands of different melodies. The same is true for a lot of country music.
