Green Onions

I just watched Quadrophenia again for the... seventh time, and during one of those night club scenes, they play Booker T. & the MGS' Green Onions.
It's such a cool song, and it's been in so many movies such as Blues Brothers 2000, Get Shorty and American Graffiti.
The song was originally released in August 1962, and entered the Billboard Hot 100 in September, where it stayed for 16 weeks at number three.
The song is almost a legend, as it has been used in commercials in radio, Tv and film.
Here's a performance from 1966. Notice how the dancers aren't really keeping up with each other;) haha!
