Big Chief” is a song composed by Earl King in the early 1960s. It became a hit in New Orleans for Professor Longhair in 1964,[1] featuring a whistled first chorus in a rollicking blues piano style and subsequent lyrics written in a Creole patois (whistled and sung by King, uncredited). The tune became very popular in New Orleans, frequently performed by local musicians such as Dr. John, and is now a staple of the repertory of most brass bands and musicians in the area.

The more I think about the whole thing, the more the relationship between Richard, Jacob and Smokey feels like a computer security program designed to protect Jacob, and the more the events of Season 5 look like a hack to get past that security program. In this episode Richard looks like someone who just noticed that his system’s firewall is down and he hasn’t patched his OS in three years.
