Over the holiday weekend I watched two actual, actual movies (in addition to several episodes of other TV shows): Roger & Me and The Blues Brothers. Both movies feature covers of this song, because both movies have scenes in jails. There is no other jail song in popular music. Period. And this song is OK, preferred by John Sams while I am a stick-in-the-mud "All Shook Up" fan. I would describe this song to you, but obviously you know it… if you've ever seen a movie with a jail in it. "Find a parten wood chair."
