George Thorogood - Willie And The Hand Jive

[zuma5278255424]

So here I am going through my dad's collection of vinyls and I see this album. I drop the needle onto a random track and hear what is now my favorite song

[rainrunner1]

Maverick. One of the most under rated, and enjoyable albums of the 1980's

[raptze]

why am i always hearing "do that handjob"?

[Cerpth]

Bo Diddley's version is the best.

[Masamune0191]

I was listening to this on the bus (which was pretty loud) and I heard willie and the handjob... I laughed and looked back at the song. Lmfao

[keerkhor]

I WANT CANDYYYYY!

[irvinemuscles]

Bitchin song by one of the best.

[MrnoWun0]

1 dislike guy is doin the hand jive on his own in a closet east of no fuckin where!!!

he can get fucked !!

[paulinus43ad]

@MrnoWun0 tell me,,do you have a education,,,,,,,,

[always4chiggy]

thumbs up if uve ever done the hand jive!

[dbcphd]

george is way under rated and under appreciated. this is excellent. his version of who do you love is superb. george is nothing if not enthusiastic. that's what rock and roll is all about. rock on, george!

[1mizanthrope1]

best version i've heard yet

[MegaTroutFishing]

listen to this song and replace handjive with handjob :P

[123minimo]

who wouldnt like that??



[rainrunner1]

One of the biggest surprise of my life was seeing him live in 1985, I nearly didn't go but decided to at the last minute. Blew the roof off the Centrum in Worcester MA, Still ranks in my top 5 shows of all time.

[bandit1639]

Doin that hand job with uncle Joe. lmfao

[MegaTroutFishing]

@bandit1639 he did that handjob with his feet :P

[jwdub75]

1 person can not do the hand jive.

[tuseroni]

this song is weird if you think of hand jive as a euphemism for a handjob.

[allhailrussell]

@tuseroni thats not what the song is about but i like your way of thinking

[SuperScribNY]

This is grade A crusing music for any harley or mustang owner. I ride up and down Route 66 listening to this and "Who do you love" Rock on Lonesome George!!!

[Onlymusical]

Wish someone would put up Thorogood's recording of the theme song from James Garner and Roger Moore's television series "Maverick." I've somehow never heard it.

[allaboard70]

Many great recordings from George Thorogood. This is from one of the best sessions, after what I can hear from the excellent sound from the Destroyers!!

[jokeraces22]

good song'

[krysteane]

My favorite version of this song, excellent!

[jules9696]

hard to find music like this - rock with a bit of blues - Aerosmith released a CD not long ago with similar tunes and i have to say by far it was their best ever

[jules9696]

what a great song - thx for posting - love this guy - he is a true rocker - great tune

[textronox]

The First Time I heard this song was when I was Watching Pro Wrestling Illustrated Lords of the Ring, Supercards and Superbouts, I fell in love with this song and I am glad I got the video

[bartic85]

handjob? :D

[AngelofAnguish]

First time I heard this (song) was at the end of a wrestling video called "Lords of The Rings"-hosted by Gordon Solie and Bill Apter.

[jdboneman728]

i saw this guy live in ga. back in 1987 bad to the bone tour..still love his music

[jdboneman728]

this guy is bad to the bone...love his music..why don't others play music like this

[alcest35]

I just heard Eric Clapton's version of this song on the radio and it very nearly put me to sleep. Really bad... but this version rocks. George Thorogood is one of my all-time favorite rockers, and he does this song the way it should be done. Thanks for posting this.

[imshela2u]

Although I like the original by Johnny Otis, George Still Rocks.

[Imafreakypeep]

Sorry i'm only 13 so could someone tell me if george did the original?

[rudolfo6666]

Originally Johny Otis started 1958 that song popularity.

[duhwolf]

@Imafreakypeep the original

search you tube for johnny otis

[12Daniel7]

@Imafreakypeep Nope a man by the name of Johnny Otis did the original back in the 1950's

[Airsoftcleaner]

This is Real Rock!!!!

[cmf1965]

Pretty good cover of the original by the "Johnny Otis Show!" "G.T. & The Delaware Destroyers"

[irvinemuscles]

Fantastic work. CRUISIN' in the 68 stang muscle car with this song.

[The80swildchild]

@irvinemuscles you are so lucky I want a 68 stang  to hard to find in Australia unless you are a millionaire

[irvinemuscles]

@The80swildchild So i could sell my 68 Stang to some millionaire in Australia for $50k. Me MUM was Australian. Born in Cairns.

[The80swildchild]

@irvinemuscles for sure mate dont see to many of them here at all

[genababiina92]

[traciijames]

[rudolfo6666]

There is not "What a price" song overthere, it's only on Maverick album, 1985.

[audiescooter]

@rudolfo6666 this song issss on the mavirick album

[rudolfo6666]

@audiescooter you are right, Maverick is the original album from 1984

[rainrunner1]

@rudolfo6666 one of the most under rated, and enjoyable albums of the 1980's

[steveco20]
