Name That Dude

Happy birthday, Kid Creole! The Kid was born on this day in 1950 in the Bronx as Thomas August Darnell Browder. He started his music career as August Darnell with a group called Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. He took the nom de clef Kid Creole when he started his own band, The Coconuts. 

I am a fan of The Coconuts, particularly the satirical song featured in this video.


Another favorite is this one about some lowlife who just got out of prison and is ratting out his former partners in crime. I can think of several who could and should be doing that about a certain crooked businessman turned TV personality turned office holder. Such a turn of events would be even better than this video.
