Hey Good Lookin' by Hank Williams



Everybody now, "Hey, Good Lookin' - Whatcha got cookin'? How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?"

I did not realize that this song was written by the venerable Hank Williams. Being the child of the '70s that I am, I'm sure it was a cover version I was most familiar with. When I looked into it, I assumed it was the Jimmy Buffett version, but I guess he didn't record it 'til quite recently. It may have been the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's cover (this performance features Linda Ronstadt - bonus!) but I suspect I know the song just through cultural osmosis of some sort.

Year (original): 1951
Year (Nitty Gritty): 1975
Year (Buffett): 2004
