Favourite Blues Tracks – Wang Dang Doodle – Howlin’ Wolf.

Posted on by Opher

Well the Blues does many things. Some think it’s all about feeling Blue. That ain’t so. This is an example of a Rockin’ Number by Howlin’ Wolf. Willie Dixon sure did a job with those lyrics. There was plenty of humour in there. Willie was the greatest writer of Blues lyrics ever. He could do mean and nasty, down and dirty or fun. This is very tongue in cheek with a smattering of sexuality.

The blues could be fun, dance orientated, good time music or sad reflective themes.

 

 

Howlin’ Wolf – Wang Dang Doodle Lyrics

Tell Automatic Slim , tell Razor Totin’ Jim
Tell Butcher Knife Totin’ Annie, tell Fast Talking Fanny
A we gonna pitch a ball, a down to that union hall
We gonna romp and tromp till midnight
We gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
Tell Kudu-Crawlin’ Red, tell Abyssinian Ned
Tell ol’ Pistol Pete, everybody gonna meet
Tonight we need no rest, we really gonna throw a mess
We gonna to break out all of the windows, we gonna kick down all the doors
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
Tell Fats and Washboard Sam, that everybody gonna to jam
Tell Shaky and Boxcar Joe, we got sawdust on the floor
Tell Peg and Caroline Dye, we gonna have a time.
When the fish scent fill the air, there’ll be snuff juice everywhere
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
