Listening to records after work like I usually do, and I put on Boogie With Canned Heat, the band's second album, and realized the number one track on the album (which shows you I haven't listened to Canned Heat in so long) is "Evil Woman." I thought the track name looked familiar, and realized the lyrics are the exact same as that fucking killer song called "Evil Woman" that's on Spooky Two, by Spooky Tooth.  

That's because they're the same song. Learn something new everyday, right? 

Take a listen to both: 


Canned Heat - Evil Woman (1968)


Spooky Tooth - Evil Woman (1969)

Obviously the songs are super different in their arrangements, and Spooky Tooth's version is almost ten minutes long compared to the three minute version by Canned Heat. 

But turns out neither is the original.
