I love the way you walk
I love the way you walk
I'm crazy 'bout your walk
I love the way you walk
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
If you need to look
Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
You my babe, I got my eyes on you

All due respect to the many rock bands of the 60s covering old blues tunes, but sorry boys, you can't hold a candle to the originals!

Here's Big Head Todd and JLH, "Boom Boom". From one of the YT commenters: "...The drums come in like a Tsunami bruh. Amazing...".

Mr. Hooker?
Wasn't he a character on Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood?
Legal department said he had to go after three episodes.


Mr. Hooper was the store owner on Sesame Street. I don't think there was a Mr. Hooker on either show.

  Just for fun, translate his lyrics into the Queen's English.  Now sex it up with some bluesy sound.  Not quite the same.  Very white sounding though.

If the previous LZ gets a 7.9, then, since they stole from the black blues artists, JLH should get a 15.8 for this.{#Bananajam}

Sounds like they were having fun, but it's a bit like hearing about a party that you weren't invited to. Doesn't do anything for me, I'm afraid. Noisy, tuneless and almost lyric-less into the bargain.

Well, the music is exciting, I can listen to John Lee, it's fun, he's a blues titan, but with these lyrics, such as they are, he always sounds constipated. It's the soundtrack for a Dulcolax commercial.

pretty effective too, I heard the opening and thought about the Viagra commercial.
Posted 12 years ago by SheRidesABeemer    [ Reply ]
Damn TV commercials: The opening riff from this is used on a series of Viagra ads. You know—for the man who knows how to use bottled water to cool an overheated Camaro; can pull a truck out of a mud hole with a team of horses; can improvise a fix for broken boom rig on a sloop. ED won't slow him down.

Like I said, damn TV commercials.

When you rock as hard as John Lee did...you can wear anything you damn well please!  I saw him do a blistering set at Gillies Night club probably around 1986 in Dayton.   He tore the place up and then sauntered out with a pretty woman under each arm and a sly smile that said, "The blues have been good to me!"

 

The women would be under his arms. . .  :)
