Flat Foot Floogie (with the floy floy (naturally))

Quentinfool

Hello,

I've been looking high and low in books fake and real for this tune. I've checked all the links i could find, and it's not yet in either of the django wiki books. I'm really looking for some simple chords at this point, I can do most of the basic versions in the gypsy rhythm book. Naturally, the more info i can get about this favorite song o' mine the better.

Supposedly it's in the real books : "The Real Little Ultimate Fake Book-3rd Edition" and "The most amazing colossal ultimate selection"

Peace

It's real simple...I believe the A part is just I vi ii V. The bridge is the same as Honeysuckle rose.

Wow, thanks for the fast response. Anyways, I've been plugging in the progression into band in a box and i can't get it to sound right. I've been using the key of Fmaj. (I vi ii V-> F Dm Gm C) but I don't know how many measures of each chord and their order (or it just a straightforward I vi ii V order) .

is it something like:
|F |Dm| flatfoot floogie with the floy floy
|F |Gm| flatfoot floogie with the floy floy
|F |Dm| flatfoot floogie with the floy floy
|C|C| floy doy floy doy ....

then bridge(which sounds fine)
?

Well hopefully some of my confusion hasn't spread, thanks for the help

This is what it sounds like to me, just like MH's ...

[F] Flatfoot [Dm] floogie with the [Gm] floy [C7] floy

Chords get two beats each (two chords per measure in 4/4). Basically the Rhythm Changes.

Fun tune!

Found this at my library ... it's supposed to have FFF.

Here's a lead sheet...you'll have to do some adjusting, though.
