Howlin' Wolf - Spoonful Lyrics






It could be a spoonful of diamonds
Could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul

Men lied about a little
Some of them cried about little
Some of them died about a little spoon
Everything fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that

It could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
But a little spoon of your precious love
Good enough for me

Men lied about that
Some of them died about that
Some of them cried about that
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that

It could be a spoonful of water
Save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead from a .45
Save you from another man

Men lied about that
Some of them cried about that
Some of them died about that
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, dat spoon, dat spoonful

    There's this little piece of anedoctal evidence I found with Howlin' Wolf and a handful of other songs from legendary musicians, e.g. Michael Jackson - Beat It. There is virtually no limit to the volume you can turn up on these tracks. Where the vast majority of pieces turno into an indistinguishable puddle of muddy, distorted sounds, these productions remain pristine.

    And the king of these majestic tracks is Spoonful by Howlin' Wolf. The Wolf turns into a hurricane, sweeping anyone and everyone on its way. I have seen people being unmoved by boombusting rave music, yet BLAST into excitement under the Wolf's charms. Those who say that he is a force of nature are not mistaken.

    It's as if Spoonful was literally MADE for you to tear down the house with.

  84. t.... ....

    Listening to this makes me want a couple of spoonfuls of beer.

  85. R.... V....

    It is always howling through my speaker. The man is genius

  86. P.... ....

    El sonido de la guitarra es genial y sumado la gran interpretación de Howlin, una pequeña obra maestra

  87. I.... I....
