In the ORIGINAL Blues Brothers movie, the one with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi, the Blues Brothers and the band have a concert ';gig'; in the Palace Hotel Ballroom. Elwood and Jake show up late so Cab Calloway (the REAL person) fills in until they come. The Brothers sneek in because they are on the run from the police and Calloway spots them after singing ';Minnie the Moocher.'; He points to Murphy Dunne (on the electric organ) to start playing ';the song'; and says to the crowd, ';Now ladies and gentlemen, it is the distinct pleasure of the management to present to you the evening star attration. Here they are, back after their threes year exclusive tour of Europe, Scandinavia, and the subcontinent. Won't you welcome from Calumet City, Illinois the showband of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues. The Blues Brothers!';
I believe the song also plays when the police are chasing the Blues Brothers through the mall in their car.
If you don't know the answer but know where to find the song, tell me.What is the name of the song that is playing when Calloway introduces the Blues Brothers at the Palace hotel?
