This day in music history.

May 26, 1952, During a Howlin Wolf show some poor drunk tried to get up on stage. Howlin punched him on the head, knocking the man backwards. At the moment Howlin's fist connected with the guys head Wolf coined the phrase "Step off motherfucker."
Wang Dang Doodle by Howlin' Wolf
