Viper's Drag

"Viper's Drag" is a stride piano composition by the jazz pianist, composer, and arranger Thomas "Fats" Waller.

[2] The song has been performed by Waller and countless other jazz artists, including Cab Calloway, who recorded a big band swing version of the tune on November 12, 1930 as song 10246-1 on the DOMINO label, album 4686[3][4] and Judy Carmichael, who recorded it for her Grammy award-nominated Two-Handed Stride on the Progressive label in 1980.

[5] There are two versions by New Orleans piano masters Henry Butler and Allen Toussaint.

It is the title cut to an album by Henry Butler/Steven Bernstein and the Hot 9, on Impulse (2014).

It can also be found on "American Tunes"—the final recording from New Orleans jazz and R&B pianist Allen Toussaint, released on Nonesuch Records on June 10, 2016.
