“Boom Boom” remains one of John Lee Hooker’s most recognizable hits. John Lee Hooker came up with the song during a long run at Detroit’s Apex Bar. Known for showing up late, he was often teased by the bartender, Luilla, who’d greet him with, “Boom boom, you’re late again.” One night she joked, “Boom boom, I’m gonna shoot you down,” and the phrase stuck. Thank God it did. #JohnLeeHooker | John Lee Hooker
