Talk:Kick Out the Jams

message: The Presidents of the United States of America did not actually cover this song.  It's title is the same, but the only similar lyrics are:
"Let me be who i am
And let me kick out the jam
...
I done kicked em out"
Does this really qualify as a cover? Bakkster Man 04:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC
What they did, to me, sounds like the took the core of the music and wrote new lyrics. I can't call it a cover if they used one line from the original, yet I think they'll it a cover....otherwise they stole the tune. Dewdude (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The track listing here credits Fred Smith.  The text of the article claims it is John Lee Hooker.  One of these is wrong.  Which is it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superwesman (talk • contribs) 20:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The song was originally by John Lee Hooker. The MC5 changed some of the lyrics. I don't have the CD handy, so I don't know who took song-writing credit, but it may have been "Sonic" Smith. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have created the reception section and moved the reviews from the infobox into that section. Later, I had to merge these sources:
