[witeliduche]

Hello. I want to start growing green onions. I have read that there are many green onion pests. How do you fight with these pests? Which chemicals do I have to use? Which chemical solution do you use to defeat weed seeds?

[ElmoPiano]

Thanks for posting this great old classic. The sheet music for Booker T.'s original organ part for "Green Onions" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription of the main riff.

[ReneeFromLA]

@ElmoPiano

You're welcome! :-)

[morganfjp]

A solid gold classic! Blew my mind back in '64 when I was 14. Interesting how many people say that other YT versions are too fast - the band when they played it live always played it too fast, I dunno why. Otis did the same thing. Got too carried away. But it's OK. Saw Booker and the boys play in Tokyo last year and they are still cooking like mad, and enjoying every note. You can't beat that! THANKS for posting this gem!!

[ReneeFromLA]

@morganfjp

You're welcome! So cool that you got to see them live! :-)

[revilo135]

It was originaly released on the Stax label in 1962.. :D

Thank you for playing it at the right speed.

[laidback93]

Completely agree. Just heard the sped up version someone posted and couldn't believe how much it changed the song. You can't beat the original speed.

[MarioManeski]

This song is timeless..It`s like the solitaire and/or tetris of songs..Feel me?

[eolill]

I'll second snoopslittledawgy, I was just listening to some of those sped up versions--they sounded horrible, at least to me. Thanks for the original, it suits me much better!

[snoopslittledawgy]

[obeyme3]

The Ventures played a good version of this tune. It was a higher tempo I believe.

[djax22]

i like the organ drone and the guitar.

[xXpoisonwasthecureXx]

very relaxing and easygoing

[wild05fan]

This is by far the best one I could find too. Everything else was either too scratchy, or way too fast. This is perfect.

[thepointlessdude]

i agree. i found some others which were just not the same to the one i heard. this is perfect. :D

[vado575]

THIS SONG WAS ACTULLY MADE IN 62

[wwkybobo]

nice job finding a good quality soundtrack

[buhrrito]

what year was this one recorded/made cuz the other ones were all fast

[gugas01]

It was in 1972 or 73 , i think.

[ashleythelawboi]

1964 it says it in the info box top right :L

[57Will]

It was recorded in 1962, for the Stax label. It was their very first hit record.

[plushlush]

This tune is the epitome of cool. The MGs be some cool cats.

[GOGGS08]

coolest tune of all time,have it as MY ringtone,so dont you DARE copy me!!!!

[ReneeFromLA]

So glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[jimmiearm]

johnnie taylor,otis redding,sam & dave,con covay,arthur conley,carla thomas 7 the list goes on!the greatest house band in the history of r&b music!

[OneCrazyWolfman]

They've got a jukebox at the Dairy Queen i go to sometimes, and for some reason i've always got to play this song on it everytime i visit.

[ReneeFromLA]

I don't blame you. Green Onions gets me going. I hear it and I wanna dance! :-)
