Story Behind The Song
The Hoochie Coochie was a sexually provocative dance that became wildly popular during and after the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Since the dance was performed by women, a "Hoochie Coochie man" either watched them or ran the show. Alternatively, from the directly sexual meaning of Hoochie Coochie, he greatly enjoyed sexual intercourse.
