By the way, it is Muddy Waters' song and it is called "Mannish Boy". According to the car's site, this version of the song is from the 1977 album "Hard Again."

He is known as the father of chicago blues and he was born way before any of the guys mentioned by the other responders.

Since the first responder had to add information after I posted, I just thought I would clarify, I said this is Waters' song because the asker wanted to know who did it in the movie and yes, Waters was around before Diddley, Spencer Davis, Chicago, etc.

Answer 2

Never saw the movie, but "I'm a Man" was originally sung by Bo Diddly. It's been covered by The Who, The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker and others.

"Mannish Boy" is a classic blues song by Muddy Waters. The song was a rearrangement of the classic Bo Diddley hit I'm A Man. It was originally recorded and released in 1955 and later 1977 re-recorded in a memorable hit version that was produced by Johnny Winter, released on Muddy Waters' Hard Again album and in 1988 featured in a jeans TV commercial.

Jimi Hendrix covered it on his introspective album Blues.

Bo Diddley released "I'm a Man" on his self titled debut album in 1958 (Although released earlier as a single). The Spencer Davis Group wasn't even around until the mid 60's.

Actually, the previous answer is incorrect. The artist that orginally recorded "I'm A Man" was the Spencer Davis Group, lead by Steve Winwood. This was later covered by Chicago.
