Green Onions

While we played around on some of the guitars, one of our guides, Craig, told us about what might be the single most famous Taylor guitar in history.

That has this, it's a Taylor 514 that has been on, like, hundreds of hit songs, and they call it Excalibur 'cause it's just, like, has, like, the perfect tone, and-

Oh

... it's just, like, a magic guitar.

Gorman.

Green Onions.

One point for Gorman.

Scallions.

You know, "C- could you learn, could you play that That tune like Booker T. [laughs] She ne- she never did.

Um, so that, yeah, "Green Onions" is one of the great recordings of all time.

Uh, and it was just...

It just happened.

And the, you know, Donald "Duck" Dunn and, and the rest of those guys i-in that, um, you know, the-- were the, who were the house band.

So if you don't know who they are, go watch "The Blues Brothers," because they're in the Blues Brothers.

Um, anyway, so th-that's why I say Booker T. and the M.G.'s. Go find, uh, go to YouTube and, and, and, uh, look up "Green Onions." It's a great record.

It'll change your life.

Trying to solve the case of, is this a sample? Is this an extrapolation of some sort of song? And thank you for your calls in.

We've had a call from Will suggesting that it may be Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs, which we've listened to it.

Yeah, there's resemblance.

Might be an extrapolation from that.

And the first song that I remember is Booker T and the MGs.

What's the song? Green Onions? Green Onions, right? Right.

Until this day, I say Stevie probably copped that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And green onions.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's true.

That's our dish that we're bringing to the potluck.

Yeah, absolutely.

And there's a song called Green Onions.

Oh, there is?
