: : : Killing Floor Torpedo Run

: : Killing floor is literally a place where animals are killed. Used figuratively in "Killing Floor" as sung by Howlin' Wolf:

: : "... should'a went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me
: : I was foolin' with ya baby, I let ya put me on the killin' floor
: : Lord knows, I should'a been gone
: : Lord knows, I should'a been gone
: : And I wouldn't've been here, down on the killin' floor..."

Mojo magazine - current issue - has a 'songs that inspired Hendrix' CD with it - includes "Killing Floor".
