For rockers, we all know the ZZ Top version of the song better than the Sam & Dave original.

A year later, Wilson Pickett (The writer), covered himself and had an even bigger hit.

The Cyndi Lauper version is a *cover* of this early 80s power pop single.

wow !! I didn't know that! I just tried to watch this hip hop cover video for less than an minute. How did they dare? horrible, atrocious, outrageous, vulgar, uninspired, cheap, ______ (you could add another synonym for bad).

Yeah... only reason I knew about it was from riding with my wife, who listens to Top 40 radio and that track came on. Had no idea that the Supertramp got sampled like that.

^^^ The first version i heard was by a Norwegian comedy a cappella group who write Norwegian lyrics for different more or less known songs, this became (translated) "Ball On Blitz" (Blitz was an Punk squat/youth club in Oslo in the 80's & 90's).
The second version i heard was the Tia Carrere/Wayne's World one, which both movie and soundtrack helped shape a very young Billy Underpuppy.

Both Bill Haley's and Elvis' versions are more well known, but it's Big Joe Turner that got things rollin'... like a wheel in a Georgia cottonfield!
