AHHHHHHH! Now I'll be plauged by that all day.
I'm thinking; something off the Blues Brothers The Doors an advertisement of some sort Van Morrison

The song is "On The Road Again" by Canned Heat. Or at least a cover thereof. Which as I recall is featured in that less than calssic movie Roadhouse.
You can listen to a snippet and maybe even buy the album on Amazon

Erm... Perhaps the files have gotten crossed or something... But, all I'm getting is the very beginning of "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the MG's.

Fascinating. I'm not sure who came first but I'd bet that Booker T had the tune first and that Canned Heat put lyrics to it. The tune is the same for both songs. I would suspect that Canned Heat did the cover of Booker T's song as that "Green Onions" appears on the Best Of Booker T. & The MG's (Rhino) with a 1968 release date.
Well done TSN.

Actually, "Green Onions" was orignally released in 1962. "On the Road Again" was from 1969. I found it listed as being by Jones and Wilson. Wilson is the guy from Canned Heat, so Jones is probably Booker T. Jones. I've never actually heard "On the Road Again", but this leads me to believe that you're probably right about its using the music from "Green Onions" (which was merely instrumental to begin with).
And, unless CH actually used the original recording of "Green Onions", I would say that the WAV file there is it, and not "On the Road Again".
