People were just as dirty back then as they are today "put you in my house, boom boom boom". Just because we actually say it today we're being criticized...well, at least I'm not kiddin' myself :D.
This was originally an album track (from LP "Burnin'") and became so popular that Vee Jay had to release it as a single.
That's the Funk Brothers (Joe Hunter, Benny Benjamin, James Jamerson) backing him, by the way; their exclusive contract with Motown had lapsed for a couple months (or so they'd claimed, anyway) so they were free to record for Vee Jay, and turned out one of the all time classic blues.
I sure hate that they destroyed the old jew town market(also called maxwell st. market) where they filmed this part of the movie- every time i walk by it i think of this song!!!!!!!!!!
