Story behind the song
"Messin' With The Kid" is a 1960 American blues song originally recorded by Junior Wells and credited to songwriter/producer Mel London. It subsequently became a signature tune for Wells. It has been covered by many artists including Johnny Winter, The Blues Brothers, Rory Gallagher, AC/DC, Band of Light, Freddie King and The Saints (band). "The Kid" is self-referential slang. The song was later covered by the "Blues Brothers" in their first album "Briefcase Full of Blues" which is a recording of their first live show at the Universal Theater. Wells' recording first appeared as a single on Mel London's Chief Records.
Lyrics
What's this I hear, goin' all around town People say you're tryin' to put The Kid down Hey, yeh, look at what you did You can call it what you want But I call it messin' with The Kid
