You know that song "what" from the Beat The Boots "Electric Aunt Jemima"? I was listening again and that's really kind of a rocking number that I don't recognize from anywhere else. Sounds like maybe a bastardization/mothersization of some classic blues riff, or maybe it's some mis-named original, but I just don't know it. Do you? What the heck is it?

I Believe there are a couple of "mis-named" tunes from this boot—the obvious one is the Bobby Timmons tune "This Here" which was a "standard" played by Cannonball Adderly—The MOI do a great job with this number—speaking of Cannonball Adderly—has anyone carefully listened to the intro of "Autumn Leaves" and see the similarities to the intro of "Chunga's Revenge".

I have heard the Cannonball Adderley song once again and I don't think they are the same tune. As far as I can tell, they have different chords and time signatures. So, what is "Whät"?

FZ recorded [Khaki Sack] on March 10, 1970, with Ian Underwood and Max Bennett (and Aynsley Dunbar, presumably). [...] Most of us have heard it before. It's on Electric Aunt Jemima (Beat The Boots) as "w̃hät?". Performed by the MOI in Denver, May 3, 1968.
