Th row Me Something, Mister We can all agree that a party isn't really a party without music. And given that Mardi Gras is one of the greatest parties around, the music that surrounds it should be too. But you don't have stick to "Mardi Gras Mambo" on repeat. There's so much more where that came from. Here are some of our favorite Mardi Gras themed tunes. Most are by New Orleans artists, but there's some moon pie/Mob-town love represented too. Hopefully next year we can add a Pensacola original to the mix (hint, hint Timberhawk boys, we're looking at you on this one).
