Trivia
Beginning in the 60s, this cover of Howlin' Wolf's classic recording, authored be Willie Dixon, was an anthem of the hard drug wing of the counter culture movement. The chorus of this laconic paean in praise of Wolf's soul satisfying lover ironically became associated with the launching pad of an i.v. drug user's tool kit; the spoon. Interestingly this dynamic, where the chorus of a song overwhelms the composition's textual intent, is very often in evidence: especially in pop music. Another famous example would be The Police's hit song "Roxanne".
