abstract	%22Green Onions%22 is an instrumental R&B hit recorded in 1962 by Booker T. & the M.G.'s, %22one of the most popular instrumental rock and soul songs ever.%22 The tune is twelve-bar blues with a rippling Hammond M3 organ line. The guitarist Steve Cropper used a Fender Telecaster on %22Green Onions%22 as he did on all of The M.G.'s instrumentals. The track was issued originally in May 1962 on the Volt 102 subsidiary of Stax Records as the B-side to %22Behave Yourself%22; it was quickly reissued as the A-side of Stax 127, and it also appeared on the album Green Onions. According to Cropper, the title s not a marijuana reference; rather, the track is named after the Green Badger's cat, Green Onions, whose way of walking inspired the riff. Songfacts.com, however, ascribes the track's title to Booker T. Jones. When asked by Jim Stewart what he'd named his track, Songfacts reports, Jones replied, %22Because that is the nastiest thing I can think of and it's something you throw away.%22On a Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! broadcast on June 24, 2013, host Peter Sagal asked Booker T. why his song was called, %22Green Onions%22. Booker T. said, %22The bass player thought it was so funky, he wanted to call it, 'Funky Onions', but they thought that was too low-class, so we used 'Green Onions' instead.%22
