The original performer of Killing Floor was Howlin' Wolf!!!!!!
On the other hand, one of the absolute WORST covers in history is
the Yardbirds's so-called version of "Mannish Boy", which they retitled
"I'm a Man"

"I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed; but i got everything 
that all good women need"
