Boom, boom: non è il rumore delle bombe o della mitragliatrice ma del cuore che batte per amore. Per questo è stata scelta come sigla del programma di Radio Due "Rataplan" che ci ha accompagnato per il mese di luglio. Un pezzo elettrizzante scritto da uno dei padri del blues elettrico.

Innumerevoli le versioni, la più famosa è forse quella incisa nel 1965 dagli Animals di Eric Burdon, ma ricordiamo anche un'incredibile interpretazione di Demetrio Stratos degli AreA.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I'm gonna shoot you right down
Right off your feet
Take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom, boom, boom, boom

I love to see you walk
Up and down the floor
And when you talking to me
that baby talk
I like it like that
Oh, when you talk like that
You knocks me out
Right off of my feet
Hoo, hoo, hoo, whoa, yeah

Walk the walk baby
Talk that talk right now
And talk that talk right now, baby
Whoa, yeah

And talk that talk
And walk that walk
Walk the walk, baby
And talk that talk

And you whisper in my ear
I can't take it like that
You knocks me out
And when you talk like that
I can't take it like that

Oh, when you talk like that
You knocks me out
Right off of my feet
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hoo, hoo, hoo

Walk the walk baby
Talk that talk right now baby
You can talk that talk, baby
Talk that talk, that baby talk

Can't take it like that
No baby

Le parole nella versione degli Animals

Rispetto alla versione originale aggiunge il coro "Shake it Baby" ripreso da un altro pezzo di Hooker.
BOOM BOOM

Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Take you in my arms
I'm in love with you
Love that is true
Boom boom boom boom

I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
When you walk that walk
and you talk that talk
You knock me out
Right off of my feet

C'mon and shake,
Shake it baby
Shake it up baby
Shake it baby
C'mon now baby
Shake it baby
I don't mean maybe
Shake it baby
You're driving me crazy
Shake it baby
C'mon, c'mon
Shake it baby
All right, all right

The way you walk
The way you talk
When you walkin' that walk
And you talk that talk
You knock me out
Right off of my feet

I need you right now
I mean right now
I don't mean tomorrow
I mean right now

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon shake it up baby
Boom boom boom boom
