Description: Hugh Laurie and his band perform a tune which was based on an English folk song called The Unfortunate Rake. This arrangement was made famous in 1928 by Louis Armstrong and has the feel of a New Orleans funeral march with its slow, macabre start and rhythmic finish. The composer is unclear but often credited to Irving Mills from sometime in the early 1920s.
