A
song written by
Willie Dixon and recorded by
Muddy Waters in
1954 for
Chess Records, built on what is arguably the most familiar
blues riff in the world (duh-Dah-duh-dah-DAH...duh-Dah-duh-dah-DAH...repeat eleventy hundred times). The lyrics elaborate on the theme "
I am a badass" with lines like:
I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I'm gonna mess with you.
Depending on which interpretation you believe, a "hoochie coochie man" is either a sexual powerhouse or a hoodoo magician, though both meanings are used in the song.
