The lyrics are about a man who became famous for doing a dance with his hands, but the song has been accused of glorifying masturbation,[2] though Otis has always denied it.[2] It has since been covered by numerous artists, including The Strangeloves, Eric Clapton, Cliff Richard, Kim Carnes, George Thorogood and The Grateful Dead.[3][4] Clapton's 1974 version was also released as a single and also reached the Billboard Top 40, peaking at #26. Thorogood's 1985 version reached #25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Lyrics and musicThe Johnny Otis Show original version of the song produced by Tom Morgan has an infectious Bo Diddley beat, in addition to resemble precisely to the hit "Bo Diddley" of Bo Diddley [1][5] much of it provided by drummer Earl Palmer.[6] Johnny Otis biographer George Lipsitz describes Jimmy Nolen's guitar riff on the song as "unforgettable".[5] The music was based on a song Otis had heard a chain gang singing while touring, combined with work Otis did as a teenager when he was performing with Count Otis Matthews and the West Oakland House Stompers.[5] The lyrics tell of a man named Willie who became famous for doing a hand jive dance.[1][5] In a sense, the story is similar to that of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", which tells of someone who became famous for playing the guitar and was released two months before "Willie and the Hand Jive".[1] The origin of the song came when one of Otis' managers, Hal Ziegler, found out that rock'n'roll concert venues in England did not permit the teenagers to stand up and dance in the aisles, so they instead danced with their hands while remaining in their seats.[5][4] At Otis' concerts, performers would demonstrate Willie's "hand jive" dance to the audience, so the audience could dance along.[5] The dance consisted of clapping two fists together one on top of the other, followed by rolling the arms around each other.[5] Otis' label, Capitol Records, also provided diagrams showing how to do the hand jive dance.[4] Despite the song's references to dancing, and despite the demonstrations of the dance during performances, would-be censors believed that the song glorified masturbation.[5] As recently as 1992, an interviewer for NPR asked Otis "Is 'Hand Jive' really about masturbation?"[5][7] Otis was frustrated by this misinterpretation.[7] Other versionsCliff Richard recorded the song in 1960 and The Strangeloves included it on their 1965 album I Want Candy.[8][9] The Youngbloods released a version of the song on their 1971 album, Good and Dusty.[10] Johnny Rivers included the song on his 1973 album Blue Suede Shoes.[11]Eric Clapton did "Willie and the Hand Jive" on his 1974 album 461 Ocean Boulevard. Clapton slowed down the tempo for his version.[12] Author Chris Welch believes that the song benefits from this "slow burn".[12] However, Rolling Stone critic Ken Emerson complains that the song sounds "disconcertingly mournful".[13] Other critics praised Clapton's confident vocals.[14] Author Marc Roberty claimed that on this song, "Eric's vocals had clearly matured, with fluctuations and intonations that were convincing rather than tentative as in the past."[15] Clapton's version of the song was released as a single in 1974 and reached #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 in the Netherlands.[16][17] It also reached #31 on the RPM magazine's top singles chart in Canada[18] and peaked at #99 on the Oricon singles chart in Japan.[19] Clapton included the song on his compilation album Best of Eric Clapton.[20] Clapton often played the song live, and it appeared on the live DVD One Night Only Live.[15][21] Author Harry Shapiro said that the song could sound like "a dirge on bad nights but uplifting when the mood was right".[22] Music author Dave Thompson claimed that Clapton's "live versions almost get you learning the [hand jive] movements all over again."[23]George Thorogood recorded a version of "Willie and the Hand Jive" for his 1985 album with the Destroyers Maverick.[24] His single version charted on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, peaking at #25, and reached #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1][25] Allmusic critic James Christopher Monger called the song one of Thorogood's "high points."[26] Thorogood included the song on his 2000 compilation album Anthology, his 2002 compilation album On Tap Plus, his 2003 compilation album The George Thorogood Collection and his 2008 compilation The Best of George Thorogood & the Destroyers.[27][28][29][30]Other artists who covered the song include: Johnny Rivers, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Sandy Nelson, The Tremeloes, Amos Garrett, Ducks Deluxe and Levon Helm.[3] Lee Michaels released a version of the song on his 1971 album, 5th.[31] The Grateful Dead played "Willie and the Hand Jive" live several times in 1986 and 1987.[4] Adopting the song to an 8-minute-long disco club version, Laurin Rinder & Michael Lewis produced a successful club hit in 1979 and included the song on their 1979 album Warriors. SoundtracksFootage from Otis' performance of "Willie and the Hand Jive" at the 1970 Monterey Jazz Festival was included in Clint Eastwood's 1971 film Play Misty for Me.[5][32] This song can be heard in the film The Shawshank Redemption.
