This is a cover of Sir Lancelot's Shame and Scandal in the Family, originally written for the 1943 movie
"I Walked with a Zombie", the lyrics have been rearranged by a number of artists over the years but the song
is largely unchanged and has since become an international classic.
Mike P's Version is a bit more acoustic oriented, and in turn makes for a great campfire jam. Let's go!
