For lj_inertiam and lj_rfd

Rick, Rimma,

This purports to be a Boingo song. That's definitely NOT Danny singing....maybe Steve?

What do you think?

Here's what net boigoloids have to say (without listening):

---

St. James Infirmary
(aka)
St James Infirmary Blues

Live and studio versions exist

originally performed by Cab Calloway

briefly played on Farewell video (the black and white clip that goes from Danny to a lady singing, the lady being Marie Pascale Elfman.)

studio/film version. Sung by Danny, with the Mystic Knights, also from the film "Hot Tomorrows"

And in case there's any confusion, Marie Pascale Elfman is the ex wife of one Richard Elfman, Danny's brother. Together, they are the proud parents of Bodhi Elfman, who done went and married hisself an annoying twerp in the form of Jenna Elfman.

I bow before your, obviously, superior knowledge of things Boingo.
