Minnie the Moocher
1931 song by Cab Calloway
Minnie the Moocher
"Minnie the Moocher" is a jazz song written by American musicians Cab Calloway and Irving Mills, and first recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his swing orchestra. Famous for its nonsensical ad libbed lyrics and scat singing—particularly its refrain of "Hi de hi de hi de ho"—the song became one of the most recognizable recordings in American jazz history. In performances, Calloway would have the audience and band members participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of call and response.
