I've never understood the "overplayed" or "I've heard the song too much" criticism.
That has nothing to do with how good a song is.
And this one is great.
There is no universal definition of a 'good song' - it is a matter of personal opinion. Your opinion changes over time, especially when subjected to hearing a song too frequently. That's my main reason why I like RP, but dislike Michael Jackson, Journey (other than their first album - their only good album), Beatles. etc. It's not that they aren't talented - it's that I'm tired of hearing them ad nauseum. Same reason I despise top 40 radio.
Is there a huge difference between Booker T and the MGs and The Junior Walker and the all stars? I like thahairhem both just that this song gives me a cool feeling when I hear it and it makes me want to shiuffle my feet in a cool way :-)
It is 5:15am & my coffee is kicking in. Char dancing to start start the day out ! Thanx RP!
Check it out!
No, it doesn't finish off the album Brothers in Arms. It's the last song on Communique.
I just love how the haters are simply smashed here!!
And, they wonder why they are sitting alone in their mommy's basement! Eh? LOL!
You didn't look before you bought it?
It was mail order and only a few of the songs were listed in the catalog. But one would assume, this would be included, no?

As much as I despised the pervious song, what a segue Bill!
What does trickling water have to do with anything? Don't be such a wet blanket!
Hey, Bill! How about playing their follow up hit to this--"Mo' Onions"?
Know your onion!
Yeah, that really has some grit to it!
Try not to speak, dear.
YOU ARE THE REASON WHY WE DON'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
walk away now and you walk away from your crafts, your skills, your
vocations; leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled,
digitally-sampled techno-grooves, quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo-songs of
violence-laden gangsta-rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine,
soulless slush. Depart now and you forever separate yourselves from the
vital American legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fuller, Louis Jordan, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson I and II, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, Leiber and Stoller, and Robert K. Weiss.
Donald "Duck" Dunn: Who is Robert K. Weiss?
Elwood Blues: Turn your backs now and you snuff out the
fragile candles of blues, R&B and soul, and when those flames
flicker and expire, the light of the world is extinguished because the
music which has moved mankind through seven decades leading to the
millennium will wither and die on the vine of abandonment and neglect.
Yesss!
That has nothing to do with how good a song is.
And this one is great.
This is why all of your true listeners would never skip a song on your station, and why you shouldn't let them because your new users don't know any better.
How disappointed was I when I got the 'Best of" CD and this wasn't on it.
I was confounded as well.

Nice!
PSD?
surprised to just now learn it's 1962
i would have guessed late sixties
Me: "Well, I don't know what I expected."
I guess that sometimes, life just imitates... life!
Ditto
Maybe you need to go to an asylum. It's not related the number of times you've listen this with the quality, repercusion and history of this song.

11 !!!!!
also a very inspirational song : please check out Robert Cray 2014 album "In My Soul" with the song "Hip Tight Onions"
seen Robert Cray perform that one live in Amsterdam ( Europe....) also deserves 10....+
Huh! I watched a great documentary about Stax/Volt Records years ago and was under the impression that the company's headquarters got demolished after Stax went out of business. Were the studios at a different location or is my memory faulty?
I believe the original studio was torn down in the 1980s, but a replica was built about ten years ago, as a museum, on the same spot.
<clicks song link on RP>

A big fat 10!

"I'm in the groove Jackson"
Yep, but it is really good "schlock"
A couple of great friends got married in Memphis a few years ago, and their wedding reception was held at the old Stax studios. Paid all my respects in 15 minutes and spent the next 2 hours cruising through the place. Unforgettable. (Gibson factory in downtown is also a "don't miss" music treasure.)

One of my favorite stories from that documentary touched on a '62 recording session at Stax's studios in Memphis. A guy named Johnny Jenkins showed up to record some songs but finished early. The guy who'd driven him to the studio had worked with Jenkins in other bands and asked if he could use the remaining session time to record himself. The engineers agreed and Otis Redding cut two tracks, including one of his biggest hits "These Arms of Mine."

maxi priest with shaggy " that kind of girl " cooks it correctly.....
Still one of the beat song ever, ;)
Way cool.
Amen. Duck's one of my idols. However, Lewie Steinberg played bass on this recording.
It's a bummer it's not on their greatest hits album. (?!)

Ahhh, I feel better now, there's a hi-tech EP in our house.
(I'm smellin you wenatchee)
OR when the sun is going down on a warm summer Friday night, the smell of barbecue just kicked you in the nose and a cold beer just winked at you and is demanding a big kiss on the lips?!
This should be Volume 1, Track 3 of the Chicago soundtrack.
There are overplayed songs and there are timeless songs. This one falls into the timeless catagory for me...Great Tune!
You forgot the third category.
Hmmm... I had salmon and wine, too.
Wow, cosmic! (as my friend in high school used to say...)
I'm imagining green onions in the ears. Pretty amusing after a couple glasses of wine and some nice salmon.

That girl is screaming because she just got hit in the back with two heat seeking missiles.
I'm sorry - I love this song, but I'm laughing so hard I can't see what I'm typing. Thanks, Hannio - you made my entire month.
By the way, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn were also 'Blues Brothers.'
Excellent toe-tapping music!
It's the only exercise I've gotten all day, sitting in front of my computer at work. LOL
I'v been playing that exact B3 !
