The writers were cunning enough to intermingle messages of protest in popular music and still have their songs be radio and TV friendly. Having grown up in Detroit during guise turbulent times, the lyric 'Shoot him before he run' suggests to me a reference to the violence perpetrated against black men during the movement.

Nina from Detroit, MiShotgun was released in 1965 in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement.

Chinn from South Bend, InMy uncle Lonnie Woods from South Bend, IN created/played the original origins for that song 'Shotgun', My mother which was his niece was his manager at that time, and was never paid or acknowledge by Motown for his works/creation.

Jennifur Sun from RamonaI have just read that no one is sure who exactly played drums on this song, here are the three guesses (does anyone KNOW, not GUESS) for sure.

He said he plays it for his daughter's dates lol.

Jennifur Sun from RamonaI laugh to myself when ever I read a post from a dad on one of the videos of this song.

This is one rare 1-chord song that I find extremely pleasant there's enough diversity in the structure and arrangement for it not to be monotonous, unlike many funk songs.

Mononc Stef from MontrealI always thought it reasonable to assume that the Season 6 version of The Cosby Show's theme was an homage to this wonderful song.

Dig potatoes, pick tomatoes? Gotta be dance moves.

Bierbelly from Stephens City, VaDefinitely a dance.

Yet, you won't find that clarification anywhere when reading details of the song or session.

Jdubbiyou from Nevada City, CaDespite Walker being almost exclusively a tenor sax player, on SHOTGUN he clearly is playing alto sax.

Getting ready to KILL HIM (going to pick tomatoes/ his blood, per say) Listen to the song a few times it seems more likely this could be one angle.

Using her female charms knocking him around (use your shotgun, now) and disappointing him in the end. Smilez from U.s.a.I felt the song Shotgun by Jr Walker somehow refered to maybe a pimp telling his working girl to continue or begin stringing some guy a long for his money.
