- Original Atlantic Records #2348
Debut 7/30/1966
Peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart
Earlier version was done by Cannibal and the Headhunters in early 1965, which peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, but did MUCH better in New York City, where it peaked at #5 on the WABC All American Survey. That record I also have posted here:

Nobody could grunt like Wilson Pickett.And scream too.
In the Philippines, the most popularity as "Ka kakagat na kakagat na nananananana kakagat naaa!"
The title called "Kagat Labi"..
Actually, this was recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, hence the musicians included drummer Roger Hawkins, bassist Junior Lowe, guitarists Chips Moman and Jimmy Johnson, and keyboardist Spooner Oldham.
Listen to that hissss!
This 45 was definitely enjoyed a lot!
Might just be a Styrene pressing
You can't dance to modern music like this.
It' called a "cut out", which is a hole drilled into all records returned to the record distributor from retail record stores. Cut out records were then resold in packages of 3 or 4 in record stores for about $1.00 for the package. You could not open the package to see what was inside, so it was kind of a gamble what you were getting.
Those drums sound so powerful and driving.
Part of it was the "hot" cutting, coupled with the particular characteristics of the BBC Grampian Feedback cutterhead which Atlantic was using for mono lacquers in those days - and which sound some called "brittle."
i love that mono sound with record crackle just perfect :-}
Sure sounds like my six transistor portable.. I loved it anyway especially the portability of it taking it to the boy scout camps or to the parks .. Keeping me in tune to the greats sounds of the 60,s on 77 WABC AM., WMCA and I think WINS 1010 when they were music stations.. those were the days
Wilson could give us that wild raspy scream ! Lord have mercy!
The local high school pep band played this the other night...I don't think they ever heard the original...
Muscle Shoals at it's finest
Hit me, Hit me, I said hit me!!
and of course that typical 1960s tape over-saturation distortion. I love it!
50th Anniversary this year for Wilson Pickett's fantastic cover of Cannibal and the Headhunters' hit single! And Wilson did better with his cover on the Hot 100 chart than the original artists did!
man that mono sounds too good! thanks for uploading!
to wmbrown6 -- Good for you, stating that it was the Muscle Shoals crew (The Swampers) who played on this track. Even the Muscle Shoals documentary DVD doesn't mention Chips Moman. But I wonder who the third guitarist is, coz there are definitely three pickers here, unless maybe there was actually an overdub and one of the guitarists played two parts- they're all on and/or all off in this song -- a very heavy effect. Certainly one of the , if not THE rockingest cut of the 1960s.
End credits of the movie "Caddyshack" is where you can hear this song, in case you're wondering.
+marie Hiam Don't you mean "The Great Outdoors"?
Interesting note: The Music Choice Party Favorites digital TV channel plays an even later version of this song by the J. Geils Band, which didn't chart in the Top 40 at all and was recorded in 1982. Go figure.
the house musicians here are: Al Jackson, Jr., drummer, Donald "Duck" Dunn, bass, and Steve Cropper, guitar.
It's awesome!
Na. Na na na na.
better verion of this of ths song. my couisin, had a band in the 60's. they did the other one.
Cover better than the original.
I figured out a no cost fix - simply run the camcorder off the battery when making the videos. This cut out the hum getting through the camcorder's power supply. Bottom line - no more hum!
He's feeling pretty good y'all. Did he sit on a tack with all that screaming? Doing the watootsie?
