I bought this for my Mom on Mother's Day. I remember taking it home and actually looking at the cover and being like "oh..."

Ha, had totally forgotten about Bonkin' On Hobo, which I've never seen anywhere. Agree that overdoing is what Aerosmith were good at when they were good, but also bad at when they were bad, ditto the Stones, who could learn from and lift, folk-process Muddy Waters-type slide guitar, but also combine it with Watts beats, whichever-Stones falsetto, all the other parts Jones put in, then the right hired hands, incl. London Boys Choir, in his wake, with Jagger sounding totally into it, though"it" incl. perfectly crass, sincere, deadpan, corrugated-stylized (liked to tell interviewers that his name came from thieves with knives, like pursejaggers I guess). Bad Boys vs. still-cheeky Fab Four, like Aerosmith vs, Bee Gees in film of Sgt. Pepper's. Andrew Loog Oldham's liner notes in droogspeak. Pre-Baraka Leroi Jones quoted a friend, "At they sound like English crooks."
But more effective with what was tagged per se blues in with r&b, rock, etc., than when they came back with whole old man albums of blues. They were better when learning from their own club era set list, basically (and of course Robert Johnson, like others of the "songster" era, is now said by some to have had to mix it up, to be a traveling jukebox, to get gigs).
Suspect I'd think the same if I listened to this album.

Honking Upon a Bobo
Bobo Honker
See My Bobo All A-honking
Take This Bobo and Honk It
Time to Honk (on a Bobo)
Oh To Be Honking on a Bobo
Walking, Talking, Bobo Honking
The Bobo That Got Honked On
Honking Bobo Style
One Honk, Two Honks, Three Honks on Bobo
Can't Get Enough of that Sweet Bobo Honk
Never Saw a Bobo I Wouldn't Honk On
Honktown, Population: Bobo
Bobo Honkers Unite
Honk That Bobo, Baby
We Want Bobo Honk
I See a Lot of Bobos but I'm Not Hearing Any Honking
Love to Honk on Bobo

when you honk long on a bobo, the bobo also will honk on you

I associate this album with Joe Perry’s “Boneyard Brew” bbq sauce

brimstead, Monday, 18 April 2022 15:56 (one year ago) link

do not ask for whom the bobo honks; it honks for thee

tylerw, Monday, 18 April 2022 15:56 (one year ago) link

Woah, let's go
But I'm Gerald and I can always have just what I want
She's that baddest I would love to flaunt
Take her shopping, you know Yves Saint Laurent
But nope, she ain't with it though
All because she got her own dough
Boss bossed if you don't know
She could never ever honk on bobo

i honked the bobo less honked by,
and that has made all the difference

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:21 (one year ago) link

in 2024 they'll release a 20th anniversary edition of this album, a two-disc set entitled 2 honks 2 bobos

In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To honk the bobo

"and she's honkin a bobo...in heaven"

chr1sb3singer, Monday, 18 April 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link

A king has bobo, and then he honks. It's inevitable. That is the natural order of things.

Michael Flatley's (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:49 (one year ago) link

how many bobos must a man honk on
before you call him a man?

Deez NFTs (Neanderthal), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link

"I was hon-kin' when I met you, now I'm bo-bo to forget yewww..."

"Girl, before I honked you, I was B.O.B.O. fine..."

"You can't honk me 'cause the bobo done died...
(yes it did!)"

I tried thinking of a Cramps song to wedge this phrase into but "Honkin on Bobo" already sounds like a Lux lyric, you can hear him singing it

"Ow! C'mON! The devil would be honkin on bobo until the sun goes DOWN!" (rockabilly guitar)

chr1sb3singer, Monday, 18 April 2022 18:17 (one year ago) link

Baseline? Bobo honk on it!
