Mr. Peanut Goes on a Peanut Bender!
Comment:
2-CD set: Absolutely no doubt this is too much of a good thing (unless of course you don't consider it a good thing)."The Peanut Vendor" (el Manisero) is a catchy little Cuban tune from 1930 or thereabouts which has been covered, sampled, & re-done by countless jazz & pop performers ever since. The hook is so easy & infectious that it turns up all over the place --
if you start listening for it you'll hear it from lots of African bands & lots of jazz musicians, though I doubt there are any rock or punk references. (Prove me wrong!)
Anyway, how this compilation got out of control - my friend Enid told me she had 18 versions of the Peanut Vendor she wanted to mix up with any that I could dig up -- I mentioned this to Nest of Vipers , & she immediately sent me 9 more different versions - & the race was on. This 2-CD set is probably not finished yet - but is already likely more than anyone will ever listen to in a sitting. It might work as tiki bar background music, though. Disc 1 is a roughly chronological assemblage of what I had in my archive, then disc 2 starts out with Enid's demented tiki bar collection, ending up with a powerhouse assortment from Nest of Vipers. And, as if that weren't scary enough -- there's room for more on each disc!

Feedback:
What, there are 49 versions out there of a song I don't even know. This is driving me nuts... Great cover (and I mean the artwork).
i heard a modern day version in a dance club, ran up to the DJ to get the name and artist, and have picked up a few versions over the years, all of them here, but NOT the one i heard that night by an artist long since forgotten. a long-winded way of saying -- way cool. would love to bop to it someday.
Those perfidious peanuts! I need a beer just reading the playlist! Legume-arvelous!
Your nutty, dude.
God, thats bad.
Love it, btw...fun as can be.

This mix is the nuts!
The question is: dry or honey roasted?
Joey's nuts taste salty to me
Great googly moogly! That's a lotta nuts. I have a perverse curiosity to hear this. If it's JdV, it's GOT to be good.
the memory of the now now defunct "Mr Peanut" on HWY 101 in SF smiles upon you!!!!
like lanhamyodel says . . .
Uhm, I'm shell shocked...
What'd it cost to make mon ami cacahuFtes?
first class.
Magnificently insane!
Cripes! This is f*ing legumes!
Well this is getting a berth in "Never Too Much Of A Good Thing" even if I have to kick out Corrinna to do it! Great work, especially Enid (-:
Interestingly, several of the recent additions to NTMOAGT are Latin American imports: this and Perfidia and Perdido. It's a trend.

And all featuring the letter P... Hmm...

Thanks for the education (you really know how to drive home a peanut).
As classy as Mr. Peanut himself!
I'm having an allergic reaction just looking at this.
A track i never knew about ( i have since downloaded the Esquivel version ) and i have to say an impressive achievment.
Good lord, man!
Insane. Have never heard this song.
Only just noticed this nutty confection. If you're interested in a second volume (God help you) I've versions by Chet Atkins, The Jeff Rowena Group, Karl Denver & Stanley Black...
