I've never heard this song before but it is so descriptive of Oreos; I don't think it is a metaphor. Just goes to show you, that you can write 'the blues' about any subject. How cool! 'Blues' is not an easy genre. Anyone can sing or play the "Blues' but to be a 'Blues' singer or musician, you have to FEEL the 'Blues'.That's why all the 'Blues' Masters said that SRV was the only White Person who was BORN to sing the 'Blues''; it came out of every pore of SRV's body, as well as all the OG 'Blues' Masters.
I seen your reaction on kids amazing you please react to Taj farrant playing with Carlos Santana at the house of blues he's 10 in the video. He also did prince at Australia got talent
He's talkin bout Oreo Cookie's. Him and Stevie ate em all the time. Lonie was are best friend. He only lived 20 miles from us. We jammed all the time when we could. ❤I love Lonnie Mack.
He's honestly, 100% talkin' about Nabisco Oreo's. nothin' else. One of Stevie's BIGGEST influences. First record SRV ever bought in his life was Lonnie's album with the tune Wham! on it...... Stevie plays it live at THe El Mocambo, you must see it, even tells the story of it
Lonnie Mack was SRV's Idol. He even did a cover of one of Lonnie's hits - "Wham" on one of his albums. Lonnie's big hit was "Memphis" I saw him live and he was great!
I covered this song in a band I was in when we were doing a house party years ago. This is such a fun song to sing, man. Makes me smile every time I hear it. Plus, SRV and Lonnie Mack, together? As other people have pointed out, Lonnie was one of SRV's biggest influences, and his version of "Memphis" is an experience.
Late 80's. Went to see SRV at George Mason U in VA. Fab show. Next night went to this little club in DC to see Lonnie Mack. Second set, SRV comes on stage, and they did Wham, and this song together. Too good for words.
Both of these men were (RIP) among the best guitarists to ever walk the earth. Listen to as much stuff of theirs as you can. Plus this song is funny as hell.
Song writers say that inspiration comes from many places, seems to me someone was sitting in his car eating his last emergency Oreo when inspiration struck. I never heard this song before but I liked it. I also liked "Jamel's RUclips Blues."
I bought this when it came out, came across it by accident. I saw Stevie produced and played on it, so I bought it. "Stop", is particularly good, but so are the others you mentioned.
True love is a beautiful thing...even if it's for a cookie. One of only a few songs that I know of with SRV playing an acoustic guitar. How I wish that he had more recordings on acoustic. I still remember the day that he died. I just couldn't believe it. I was in college at the time and the news just shattered me. I'm so grateful that I got to see him in concert twice, both times at Aloha Stadium. RIP SRV
The Oreo cookie turned 100 in 2012. They offered for a limited time a 100 year anniversary Oreo cookie jar. The lid is an Oreo cookie. I’ve had that jar for 10 years and not a single cookie has been put in it. It just sits on my counter empty but looking pretty.
Great song. Lonny is smooth. Love that adorable (and a little bit crooked) smile on Stevie's face. He's enjoying this fun and all-too-true song (it's just what it seems, Jamel... about an Oreo addiction). And SRV is clearly enjoying sitting in and playing with one of his idols. Love this performance. Very tasty. Hmm... now where did I hide that last Oreo?
I was 8 years old in 1963, when I heard Lonnie Mack for the first time on top 40 radio. "Memphis" was of course a Chuck Berry cover, something that many artists did for years to come after Lonnie did it. That same year he had another instrumental hit with "Wham!" which was a hard driving blues and louder! Everybody loves the blues and Oreos.
It's about the sugar high, that sugar rush and the last line was cleaned up a bit instead of Mmm Mmm the original lyric goes almost "better than nookie" blues.
I didn't know if it was cleaned up or if he'd written that way on purpose so we'd just know based on "Cookie... Rookie...mm mm mm (nookie) " so that's good trivia. Thanks brother Randy.✌️🎸🎶♥️🙏
I always loved Lonnie Mack since I was in my youth. He played guitar with Jim Morrison on a track or two and has some pretty good tunes you could react to should you choose to go down that "rabbit hole". Rock and Roll Bones, Me and My car and Too Rock for country are a few of my favorites besides this one.
Doors songs, or An American Prayer? I'm curious 🤔 Huge Doors fan, but I thought Robbie played on all the tracks. Let me know if you would, thanks Brother Peter Terry ✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏
@@stanphillips7277 Lonnie Mack played harmonica and bass on Roadhouse Blues and his name was even mentioned by Jim towards the end of the tune. I knew Lonnie "sat in" with the Doors, but I was mistaken about the instrument he was playing in that session. Elvis Presley's bass player Jerry Scheff appeared on the L.A. Woman album.
@@peterterry9594 I appreciate that info man! Yeah, I knew someone sat in with the band on bass (rather than Ray's usual left hand right?) on L.A. Woman but I hadn't considered the harp parts. It's funny because I read "No One Here Gets Out Alive". Probably the quintessential Doors biography right? "Wonderland Avenue: Tales of Glamour and Excess" both written by Danny Sugerman (They're second manager) and it's more than likely that those guys were mentioned in at least one of the books, probably the former. I also read one called "Dark Star" but I've forgotten the authors name after 30 years or something 😂 I went through a heavy Doors phase (and I still love them) in my late teens and early twenties. It was the late 80s early 90s when beepers weren't yet obsolete right? So my friends who had beepers assigned me the 3 digit code 521 because I sang with different bands (garage types , nothing anyone's heard of) and I was drinking to excess , every waking moment from the time I awoke. I had to quit at 27 , having been hospitalized for withdrawal symptoms a dozen times. I had seizures from it. I related so strongly to Jim at the time. He drank like I did, so I didn't feel as unique in my drinking to such extremes. Roadhouse Blues sort of affirmed my drinking each morning at a time when I felt immortal and bulletproof right? It's a miracle I made it to 30 let alone my current age of 50. The Doors are still close to my heart. I had all their studio albums, and anything else I could get my hands on. Live from the Hollywood Bowl, An American Prayer (Jim's poetry set to music) , a book of Jim's poetry called Wilderness , and a few more things. The other live show (When The Music's Over?) , everything audio pre-internet anyway. Thanks Peter, you seem to know a little bit huh? 😂 I appreciate you're response brother, you're a good human, and a knowledgeable one. I'll see you around huh? Thanks, Stan✌️🎸🚪🚪
Wanna be the first to react to Otis Rush? He had one of the greatest blues/gospel voices and a killer guitarist as well. "A Fool For You," "Ain't Enough Comin' In," "Homework" are just a tiny bit of his greatness. He even played with Duane Allman.
You hear him working his signature 'Texas Flood' riffs & hooks into this set? It's literally everywhere, all throughout his performances over his all-too-short career. That's why I urge people to watch his 'In Session' video with his mentor: Albert King. To hear SRV play is to hear Albert King play.
Y'know what they say..sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes an Oreo is just an Oreo. And Lonnie Mack is yet another artist that Stevie had long admired & then got to be friends with him & play with him. Blues, Blues-rock, Rockabilly..Mr. Mack was great at all those. Btw, just last night I had some Oreos..Java Chip Oreos. The filling is coffee/cream flavored with tiny little coffee chips. I highly recommend 'em! And Happy Easter everyone! 💙🐰🌿🥚✝️🌷☮🌞💚
It was on a bet from years earlier that he could write a blues song about anything. So someone who was eating ores said oh yeah how about these? Or at least that is what he said at a concert. But who knows the man was a freaking genius
I saw Lonnie play several times, he was from aurora Indiana in our area. He played for the doors on an album or two. Lonnie was one of those musicians that too country for rock and too rock for country. Lonnie had several hits Cincinnati jail is one of my favorites. He played carnage hall with Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan great blues video.
The only secret I guess is in this, is that Oreos were way freaking better back then. They are hard and dry now, man. I eat ‘em, but it’s a fact that they were better.
Lonnie was one of SRV’s big influences. You should try “Chicken Pickin’”, which inspired SRV’s “Scuttle Buttin’”. Better yet do both together! Lonnie Mack was responsible for a lot of the fingering and tones for rock solos, and he was doing it before the British Invasion!
I've never heard of that song but, I'm thinking he was simply talking about Oreo cookies 😂 No hidden meaning, just sittin' around and maybe eating Oreos or he'd run out of Oreos, had his guitar and wrote a kinda' silly blues song. I also wanted you to know Jamal that, I have been a fan of Hendrix, Steve Ray, Zeppelin, Clapton etc.. since I was a 10 year old kid, even younger due to having a brother 10 yrs older. I started playing guitar at 15 , and I was playing blues solos pretty well within 6 months. I couldn't play and sing right away but in time it came. I think you could really sing, write, the blues if you simply learned to play a little guitar brother! You sing in tune!! You are passionate about music bro! You're young and you've got the music stored up in your head already. You know it's so much easier than it looks, and all that music is just waiting for you to get it out of your head and, into some musical vessel. Guitar I think would suit you, look at the music you're drawn to. Your no different from me. Eclectic tastes. It would be fun and if you played even 30 minutes a day you'd be playing the blues in no time. 3 chords make up most blues songs, and if you can sing you can play. You've been through some stuff like anyone who's been through a few decades of life man, and if you can write about Oreo cookies brother you know you could write about some of the stuff you went through coming out of the hood right? I wish you would give it a shot is all. Don't die with the music in you is an expression Dr. Wayne Dwyer (self help and famous writer and, he's had specials on PBS that you've maybe seen?) . This channel is a good creative outlet man, and you are on point when it comes to music. I'm just saying that if you wanted to you have all it takes except for a little bit of practice and, I bet everything you've absorbed would come out of you like somebody opened the floodgates!! Brother Jamal, you can really sing man, you should try an instrument. You don't need to be Hendrix, be Jamal and that'll be more than enough. You don't have to play for hours a day, even an hour or half that and you'd see. I have faith in you man!! I'd bet the farm that in 6 months you could be playing the blues!! I love you just the way you are though, just thought I'd say what I was thinking. I'm reacting to your singing and, even though you're just messin' around I see you've got pipes man!! I hope you'll think about it. You might have natural talent for it. You should give it a try! Do you of course and, be a good human like you do and I'll try to do the same!! ✌️🎸🎶♥️🙏
@@MartyRenn Hey Marty, I think you were commenting publicly to Jamal, but you must have accidentally commented that you sent ME, Stan a message about some Lonnie. Not the end of the world, but Jamal won't see it. I'll be a good human and react to Lonnie though... Daaanmnnn! I'd never heard of him, but as a blues/rock/ anything else that inspired me guitar player I really enjoyed it. 😂 That brother can play!! Sittin' there with Stevie I mean, c'mon Lonnie... that's the funniest blues song ever with some serious guitar playing! Excellent blue's vocals...man! Thanks brother Marty Renn for suggesting him, and I'm sorry I'm just getting to it now but, I'm impressed! Be a good human brother, I'll see you around...🎸🎶☮️✌️♥️🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Lonnie Mack was a Boss. Even the blues can be a silly novelty...the 12-bar signature applied to mundane topics is a terrific lesson in the art form. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Try 'Champagne & Reefer' live with the great Buddy Guy at a tiny club. I guarantee THAT song is no metaphor. Loose, greasy & fantastic.

Apparently Oreos are the next best thing to sex. Don't know if I agree, but I like them.
I came to this section to get the link to the original video. Is that something that doesn't happen anymore?
@@Redrocker1970 It used to he in the description. I wonder if he stopped including the link to avoid getting blocked.
I seen your reaction on kids amazing you please react to Taj farrant playing with Carlos Santana at the house of blues he's 10 in the video. He also did prince at Australia got talent
Sometimes a song is just a song. This one is about Oreo cookies.
sobriety doesnt mean no oreos
I'm gonna get high off oreo cookie sandwiches if you get what I'm sayin
@@robdog4062he wasn’t meaning he was gonna get high from dr”gs but that feeling when you have a lot of Oreos and it feels good

Lonnie Mack was so underrated. You must look up more of him.
We love Oreo Cookie's ya'll Stevie Ray loved em and We loved Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies 2. ❤❤❤❤

“Strike Like Lightning”, the album this song is featured on, is super underrated. “Satisfy Susie”, “Stop”, and “Wham!” are classics.
I bought this when it came out, came across it by accident. I saw Stevie produced and played on it, so I bought it. "Stop", is particularly good, but so are the others you mentioned.
❤ "Stop" is my favorite.
Happy Easter Mel and to all! 🙏
I worked in a blues club in the north suburbs of Chicago. Met Lonnie Mac and his wife on a few occasions great people and wonderful player.
Happy Easter! That was some mean jamming.
True love is a beautiful thing...even if it's for a cookie. One of only a few songs that I know of with SRV playing an acoustic guitar. How I wish that he had more recordings on acoustic.

I'm so grateful that I got to see him in concert twice, both times at Aloha Stadium. RIP SRV
They're straight up talking about Oreo's, and I couldn't be happier about it. 💯. RIP to both of these guys.
This is just straight what it means. Just a tongue in cheek tribute to Oreos. Dont overthink.
I agree bro, not everything has to have some deeper meaning. Sometimes it's just for the fun of it 👍
You are going to love this! 🤓😎🎇
Crazy, Oreos are just that good!
This song is really about Lonnie's struggle with diabetes, on a comedic level with some great guitar riffs.
The Oreo cookie turned 100 in 2012. They offered for a limited time a 100 year anniversary Oreo cookie jar. The lid is an Oreo cookie. I’ve had that jar for 10 years and not a single cookie has been put in it. It just sits on my counter empty but looking pretty.
That sounds awesome.
Lonnie was a big influence on SRV. Stevie does a good cover of Lonnie's song "Wham"... it really cooks. Please check it out.
I was lucky enough to see Lonnie Mack perform many many years ago. He blew me away. This is a fantastic performance. I’m so happy you watched this!
that some front porch blues right there, cheers brother. Happy Easter all!
Fantastic song / performance. A good blues artist can sing about anything and make it tasty.
Love this performance. Great to see how happy Stevie is here - playing beside one of his biggest guitar influences
Jamel your rendition of the blues at the end of the video was spot on. Good job !

Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
He's as amazing on acoustic as electric. I love this song even though I don't like Oreos. I know I'm crazy for it.
Lonnie Mack was one of Stevie's heroes
love good blues music and that was a good orieo cookie blues habbit
just a cookie want song when it's gone!!
I got to see this live
Yes it's all about cookies!

Yeaaaaaahhhh brother..... thanks for diggin' deep man
Just singing about oreo cookies. Nothin more, nothin less... no code, just a great cookie that everybody loves!
Idk what he's talking about but all of a sudden I got a craving for some Oreos and milk.
What a Great Choice! Oreos! Very addictive! Like Bugles! No one can eat just one bag!
I do like the blues👏❤
My Redeemer lives !

It's a song. About cookies. No more, no less
MR. JJ CALLE with SRV. Man that is some good nesssss.
It’s not really “about” lyrics, goes to show a blues sing can be about ANYTHING and be great.
Simply about cookies.
Classic. Oreos
It's juuuust about cookies! nothing else but cookies.

I agree with a few others here in the comments, just about Oreo cookies.
It was all about the 🍪 cookies nothing else 😋.
Love me some cookies ✌❤🇨🇦

Oreo cookies are good. They’re worth writing a song about them.
The doctor told him to lay off the sweets for health reasons. Sometimes the things we need to do for health takes some joy out out of living, haha!
It's them oreo creme sandwich
Chocolate cover creme filled cookie
Built by nabisco, ain't no rookie
Next best thang to nookie blues
The Blues genre lyrics and feelings aren't always negative. Just like your blues song Jamel.
That man is talkin' 'bout exactly what he says... and can ya blame him? I mean, who DOESN'T love an Oreo???

As far as Oreo cookies...
Most of us can identify that addiction especially after a few reefers.
Lonnie Mack was a Boss. Even the blues can be a silly novelty...the 12-bar signature applied to mundane topics is a terrific lesson in the art form. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Try 'Champagne & Reefer' live with the great Buddy Guy at a tiny club. I guarantee THAT song is no metaphor.
Loose, greasy & fantastic.
