"Can't Kill The Boogieman" is a song by Eric Burdon, an English singer-songwriter. The song describes his experiences and admiration for the blues musician, John Lee Hooker. The lyrics mention the crazy and lazy days in the UK and how Burdon and his friends used to wear a gang sweatshirt with a political message that encouraged people to dance. He still stands by the idea of using music and dance as a way to make a political statement. When Burdon was 25 years old, he had a profound experience with John Lee Hooker.

In the end, Burdon reflects on his own journey and how people may not know him as well as they know John Lee Hooker. He realizes that as long as Hooker is alive, the blues will continue to thrive. The song ultimately celebrates the power and resilience of blues music and the enduring legacy of musicians like John Lee Hooker.
