“Hoochie Coochie Man,” a blues song originally released by American artist Willie Dixon in 1954, has been reinterpreted by German singer, songwriter, and musician Svarp The Harp. This version was released in October 2023, described by the artist himself as “slower, longer, and quieter.”

“The last verse of my version brings two small changes to the lyrics that were slightly adapted to current times. ‘Gypsy Woman’ has been replaced by ‘World Wide Web,’ and ‘Pretty Woman’ has been replaced by ‘Pretty Man’,” he shared.
Svarp The Harp’s rendition carries its own artistic personality and technical credits, featuring bass, drums, guitar (rhythm and solo), and blue harp, recorded at Wolvesinsound Studio in Berlin. The recording and mixing were handled by Antonio Passacantilli.
