Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker | Live in “The Blues Brothers” Movie

Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker from the movie The Blues Brothers!

What a great presentation of the real Maxwell Street Market. The cuts between people, the knick-knack on display, and the Blues Brothers are perfectly executed. The music in that movie is just bliss, and love that they didn’t waste time and money one glitzing & glamouring up every extra to look like a supermodel.

It’s 106 miles from Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it!

Lyrics:
Ah boom, boom, boom, boom
I’m gonna shoot you down
Right off ‘a your feet
Until you’re home with me

Put ya in my house
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I love the way you walk
Especially how you talk

‘Cause when you whisper in my ear
And say “Johnny I love you”
I love that talk
Oh when you talk that talk

But you knock me dead
Right off my feet
I took ya home with me
And put ya in my house

How, how, how, how
How, how, how how
Hey, hey
Ohh you are cookin’
Like a chip off the ol’ block

Oh when you walk that walk
And talk that talk
And whisper in my ear
And say, “Johnny I love you”

I love that talk
Ah that baby talk
And I like the way you dance
And when you make romance

I was wonderin’ if I
If I could have a chance
I just love the way ya walk
And when ya talk that talk

You knock me dead
Right offa my feet
I take ya home with me
Put ya in my house

Boom, boom, boom, boom
How, how, how, how
Hey, hey
Talk

Walk that walk
Talk that talk
C’mon
Ah, woo!

Ah, you are cookin’
C’mon
Yeah

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom-ah, boom-ah, boom-ah
Boom, boom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Ah boom, boom, boom, boom
Hey, yeah
Oh

Walk that walk
Talk that talk
Walk that walk
Talk that talk

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom-ah, boom-ah, boom-ah

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
How, how, how, how
