Just going about my business last night with the music on shuffle, I had to stop when "Te-Ni-Nee-Ni-Nu" by Slim Harpo came on. It was one of those songs that I probably listened to when I downloaded it, but had completely forgotten about. Regardless, it hit the spot. From 1968, it's a little later than most of his better known stuff, interesting in that it definitely sounds like him, but it has almost a New Orleans feel to it. It was followed by Groundhog's "Take It Off" which definitely borrows from Harpo's "Scratch My Back", albeit with a late night lovin' stoney feel.
Both of these were posted at Boogie Woogie Flu, back in 2012, with five others, all songs that Alex Chilton had covered at one time or another.
