118. “The Red Rooster” is a song written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin’ Wolf in 1961. In 1964 The Rolling Stones recorded the song under the title “Little Red Rooster.” Like many blues songs, this one makes use of a double entendre using a rooster to reference a womanizing male.” Well, if you see my little red rooster / Please drag him home / There no peace in the barnyard / Since the little red rooster been gone.”
