Why is this page at "John the Conqeroo"? I think that is someone's misheard mispelling. IMO this should be a redirect, the article should be at "John the Conqueror" or "High John the Conqueror". -- Infrogmation 19:55, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

"John the Conqueroo" is the spelling I've seen in every printing of the lyrics of Hoochie Coochie Man I've seen, which is probably the most familiar reference. Smerdis of Tlön 22:46, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Google, however, disagrees. I will move the page. Smerdis of Tlön 23:55, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

John the Conqueroo is a mis-hearing of John the Conquer ROOT. As noted in the article, the root is invariaby called John the Conquer, not John the Conqueror. There is a reason for this and someday i will publish it.

Uh, that was me. I forgot my four tildes. Sorry Catherineyronwode 09:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Godless communism rears its ugly head

Someone added the intelligence that sixty acres equals (243,000 m²) in foreign; here's a perfect example of why that system of weights and measures has never caught on and is pretty useless for real life applications. At any rate, it is glaringly out of place in a U.S. folktale; so I have preserved the data and will remove it from the article in chief. Smerdis of Tlön 19:45, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia. Regardless of if it agrees with a U.S.-centric mindframe, comparing figures from the folktale to globally recognized standards of measurement is a valuable addition to the article. Alvis 07:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon

The two songs cited by Muddy Waters are not his original works. “Hoochie Coochie Man” was written by Willie Dixon. “Mannish Boy” was a cover/response to Bo Diddley’s song “I’m a Man,” which itself was largely derivative of “Hoochie Coochie Man.”

Willie Dixon is the primary source of these references in both cases. Jredwards (talk) 13:04, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
