And I'm not sure whether there's a dig against John Mayall in the middle of that, talking about the big shot in the foil selling all the swag. If you've been to a male gig, you'll know that he's always out front selling CDs and DVDs and madly autographing them. But he's a great guitarist and he's also obviously a great lyricist. I think one of the favorite tracks on Road Dogs was one of the ones he rode. I'll be coming back to that album, don't worry. I think I'm gonna change the mood a bit now though. This is Meatlox Lewis.

Sorry guys, it'll never take over from Weetabix. And before that, Dave Arcari and got me electric, the title track of his new album. I think I'll change this time again now. Let's have some classic Freddy King. If I could forget about you baby, I wouldn't be in so much misery. Yes, but I think I understand, baby. You must have put your put your whammy on me. Yes, I'm begging you one more time, baby. Please, what you said me free. Yes, I'm begging you one more time, baby. Please, what you said me free. Yes, but I think I can do about it, woman. Yes, I thought you put your put your put your whammy on me. Yes, love is a funny game. Yes, but I think I can do about it. Yes, I want to leave you, baby. What you put your put your put your put your whammy on me. Brilliant. Freddy King and she put the whammy on me. Well, if you've come across Canon's joke stompers, you've probably heard this next guy. Noah Lewis was the vocalist and harmonica player for Canon's joke stompers, but he recorded some solo stuff as well. This is Noah Lewis with Chica Saw Special.
