Re: Mannish Boy
Bad to the Bone" is a song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers released in 1982 on the album of the same name. While it was not a major hit on initial release, its memorable video made recurrent appearances on the nascent MTV, which was created only a year before and just taking off. Widespread licensing for films, television, and commercials has since made "Bad to the Bone" one of the best-recognized songs of the 80s.
The song's roots can be traced back to rock and roll legend Bo Diddley's song "I'm a Man", which uses the same guitar riff and vocal rhythm, and has a similar overall structure, as well as Muddy Waters's "She Moves Me" and "Mannish Boy". The riff is also very similar with the one from Chuck Berry's song "No Money Down".
The famous guitarriff is the most easily recognizable, though it also features saxophone throughout.

MsDucky,
George Thorougood did a lot of cover tunes and did them well.
Like the famous "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer"
The house rent blues.
Compare the way the tune was done from the original:
