^Oh man, that was brilliant! Perfect song for the thread too
It was so good I had to look it up on Wikipedia where I found this little bit of trivia, interesting I'm sure to many out there :

The record contained one of the first examples of guitar distortion, which happened by accident as a result of one of the amplifiers being dropped before the recording. The amplifier was sitting on top of a car which was occupied by a band member; when the band member got out and closed the door, the amplifier slid off and the speaker was punctured. The amplifier was brought inside and was fixed with a piece of paper and tape, which ended up creating the distortion. The amplifier stands in Sun Records in Memphis Tennessee today.
