"Boom Boom" is a song written by American blues singer/guitarist John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961.
...It has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists, including a 1965 North American hit by the Animals.

English rock band the Animals recorded "Boom Boom" for their 1964 UK debut album The Animals. Their rendition generally follows John Lee Hooker's original, although they add "shake it baby" as a response to the "come on and shake" refrain in the middle section, taken from Hooker's "Shake It Baby" (recorded during the 1962 American Folk Blues Festival tour in Europe, where it became a hit in 1963).

The Animals' version was released as a single only in North America and peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the RPM Top 40&5 singles chart. The song was also included on their second American album The Animals on Tour as well as various compilation albums (sometimes with the twelve-bar guitar solo edited out).

Over the years, several versions of "Boom Boom" have been recorded by various Animals reunion lineups as well as by former members Eric Burdon and Alan Price. In 2012, the original 1964 version was used in the film Skyfall.
