Boom Boom Lyrics
I'm gonna shoot you right down,
right offa your feet
Take you home with me,
put you in my house
Boom boom boom boom
A-haw haw haw haw
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
up and down the floor
When you talking to me,
that baby talk
I like it like that
Whoa, yeah!
Talk that talk, walk that walk
and talk that talk,
and whisper in my ear,
tell me that you love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that,
you knocks me out,
right off of my feet
Hoo hoo hoo
Talk that talk, and walk that walk
This is my favorite John lee hooker song. I always get this song stuck in my head. Actually this is my favorite blues song of all time. I think it's the first blues song I've ever heard to get me into liking the blues.
If you like it, it's in "The Blues Brothers" along with the song "Boogie Chillun"
HEY, Hey!!! Can't believe there are no comments on this masterpiece. Basically he loves his woman. If only I could find one like this. LOL.
The story of the waitress/bartender seems strange to me. John Lee Hooker arrived in Detroit in 1943, and that year he married two women, Alma Hopes and Sarah Jones. In late 1944, he married the sixteen year old Maude Mathis by whom he had 5 children, and with whom he remained for 25 years until 1969. The woman at the bar, according to some is called Willa, Willow according to others, and still others say Luilla. What is strange is that around 1961, or when the song was released, at the home of John there was almost a crowd: his wife and 5 children. Could John take home also Willa/Willow/Luilla? In my opinion "boom boom" is a classic of blues, and inspired the infamous reggae chart Snow - informer. Snow made a discussed parody while singing "a licky boom boom down".
