Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go
When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go
So the lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
So Moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go
He made old Pharaoh understand
Let my people go
Yes, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land.
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
Thus spoke the Lord," bold Moses said
Let my people go
"If not, I'll smite your firstborns dead."
Let my people go
God, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go
When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go
So the lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
So Moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go
He made old Pharaoh understand
Let my people go
Yes, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land.
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
Thus spoke the Lord," bold Moses said
Let my people go
"If not, I'll smite your firstborns dead."
Let my people go
God, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go."
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go

Sometimes the cover is just more catchy than the original. and this time that's teh case. :-)
This needs a whole new rating category. Something like “Points for ambition and creativity, but maybe not”.
Please please play the original
This again? It's amazing that the only song Satchmo ever recorded is this one. Or so it seems here on RP...
Why does Bill play this? Because he CAN 😜!
Man it seems like this song is on a lot, even though it just shows 2 plays in 30 days.
Meh. Kinda weird. Armstrong: Awesome. Disco: OK I guess. This remix: kinda icky. Just my opinion! Not everybody likes pickles in their ice cream.

Well, but I guess, no one's rating for Louis - at least I don't.
And not liking doesn't mean "hate", by the way.
why hate?! I think Louis would have liked it!

Is it Passover already? Might prefer to hear the original now though...
Love Satchmo, and not averse to an off the wall remix - but for my ears this just doesn't work. I don't like to skip button, but employing in this instance. Sorry :-(
I am not sure how I feel about this? I kind of love and hate it at the same time.
I just sat and listened to this, jaw hanging open and genuinely speechless. I did not expect a dance remix of Louis Armstrong, let alone this song, to be a thing. Wow.
Not sure whether I like it or not. Not going to rate it yet, will need to hear it a few times.

Always something new, hidden treasures. This is why I listen to RP....Gracias
oh...this is dreadful

Good point. Now that it's over, I'm reducing my own rating to zero. Can't speak for 4lex.

That's an ill-conceived sentiment that is sooooooo hackneyed in the RP comments. Some of the listeners here have minds more open than yours and still think this is pretty bad.
Because it is.
I changed my mind from "What the hell, who dares?!" to "Pretty awesome" before the song ended. Open your minds too! :D

ummm... ok
NO! Just no.
I don’t think The Great Satchmo would approve… bu tI certainly do not!

I wasn't aware of the existence of pirates who not only like disco but Satchmo as well. There's so much to unpack here.
I feel sure Cameron Frye would want to weigh in as well.

I could swear this number is actually closer to 10, but maybe I listen to too much RP.
This is so bad it's entertaining
That moment when your boss walks into your office to find you standing by your chair dancing to this song. Oh well.
Um, no.

Amongst the worst things that have happened to my ears in a while. Ouch. Go sit with the Jive Bunny in the corner.
No, this is just no. Too much pronounced 'dancy' beat. If they did this to Skokian I might just shed a tear of disappointment.
WHY
Jesus Mary and Joseph this is bad biblical - proportions bad
Satchmoses?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should! Could have been done in Egyptian Reggae style...?

While I consider myself open to all types of music, I do feel this particular remix is just a bit of a lazy effort and not really adding anything to the mix...
Drums sound pretty hollow, like an early '90s synth drum and the addition of the beat is just about all that changed, apart from the structure.
A for concept, F for execution from the Belgian jury.
