"Willie and the Hand Jive" is a song written by Johnny Otis and originally released as a single in 1958 by Otis, reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #5 on the Billboard R&B chart. The song has a Bo Diddley beat and was partly inspired by the music sung by a chain gang Otis heard while he was touring. 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, though Otis always denied it. It has since been covered by numerous artists, including The Strangeloves, Eric Clapton, Cliff Richard, Kim Carnes, George Thorogood and The Grateful Dead. Clapton's 1974 version was released as a single and reached the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 26. Thorogood's 1985 version reached No. 25 on the Billboard Rock

  • Willie and the hand jive is een single van Eric Clapton. Het is afkomstig van zijn album 461 Ocean Boulevard. Het is een van de veertien singles die Clapton als soloartiest in de jaren van 1970 tot en met 2011 had. Het was lang zo succesvol niet als haar voorganger I Shot the Sheriff. I Shot was een bewerking van een lied van Bob Marley, Willie was een lied van Johnny Otis uit 1958. Slowhands versie klinkt daarbij duidelijk bedaagder dan de originele versie. De hand jive is een dans. (nl)
