Re: Can you name this unknown tune play by Martin Family ? Link?
I'm sorry.
I know the song but I don't know the title search a lot of songs :-(.
But there's another thing I want to write down.
There are some links that doesn't work anymore.
The cause (I think) is that there's something wrong with Http.
Those links start with http://https//www.youtube......
and I don't think that's going to work.
I really don't know what the cause is.
I hope that my link#2 works.
It works only if I copy the link from www.
For some reason http:// is putting in front of it just like that
Re: Can you name this unknown tune play by Martin Family ? Link?
yeah, sorry, I just noticed the fact my link doesn't work because of https://...
Here is the link with http:// instead https://, now it should work (link#1)

Re: Can you name this unknown tune play by Martin Family ? Link?
Hi Marc,
You are finally right, the first one is "Si tu veux amuser", congrats, not easy to get
Is this tune a rare one? I am not really sure to have listen to this one before and the name does'nt recall me anything?
Is it a savoy family composition?
Could you help me getting the lyrics please? I know you are the specialist for this
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,
From the notice book :
"Marc composed the bridge of this song. He had heard a zydeco song that was similar to the other part. The song is played in D in the C accordion. Ann put some Creole words to the melody vaguely based on the Louis Jordan song 'Let the good times roll".
Hey, tout quiqu'un, allons amuser
Si tu veux amuser té gain pour dépenser l'argent !
Reste pas là après galoper ta bouche
Tu vis juste une fois et quand tu mouri t'es gone.
Quitte les bons temps rouler, quitte les bons temps rouler
Mais je fous pas mal si t'es vilaine ou beau
Quitte les bons temps rouler, quitte les bons temps rouler
Mais je fous pas mal si t'es vieux ou jeune.
Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
Il you want tro have fun, you've got to spend some money !
Don't stand there, running your mouth
You only live once and when you die you're gone
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Well, I don't care if you're ugly or pretty
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Well, I don't care if you're old or young.

The second song is indeed Mon Vieux Wagon, but it started with another one and I had listen to a lot but still with no result :-(
Of course Marc was the first who found it , great and thanks
The first song is Si Tu Veux Amuser (If You Want to Have Fun)
Found it on a CD from the Savoy Doucet Cajun band Sam's Big Rooster
Also with singing and Lyrics
I can't find other versions till now.
