Thornton's mighty voice, take-no-guff attitude, and incendiary stage performances influenced generations of blues and rock singers and carried on the tradition of tough "blues mamas" like Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, and Ma Rainey. In 2007, the movie "Hounddog" included various characters, including that of Big Mama, and Elvis Presley, as well as their relevant versions of the song.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time. You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time. Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed, Well, that was just a lie. When they said you was high classed, Well, that was just a lie. You ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine.
