Boss Hog “I Dig You” 1995. 12″ single. Today is Joe’s birthday so I’m spinning our unofficial theme song ☺️(In ’99 on our drive up to my folks’ farm for our wedding rehearsal dinner, Joe had our friend Buzz spin this track on his WMSE radio show “Buzz’s Garage.”) “I Dig You” appears on Boss Hog’s ’95 s/t album and it’s a sexy and hilarious duet between power couple Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez:

[Jon Spencer]

I ate scum off the street
Eat raw macaroni
Messed up in a minute
Come on now girl
You got to show me…

[Jon Spencer]

I dig your groovy hips

[Cristina Martinez]

I dig your barbecued lips

[Jon Spencer]

I dig you much and more

[Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez]

I dig you baby and I want you to know

Besides “I Dig You,” there are three other previously unreleased tracks: “Hell Mary,” the ass-shaking rocker “Soultrap” and a cover of Wire’s excellent postpunk anthem “12XU” from their 1977 album Pink Flag which Boss Hog has slinkified and darkened with Spencer’s signature blues sound while still keeping the sharp angles of the original.
