Wikipedia
"Juke" is a harmonica instrumental recorded by then 22-year-old Chicago bluesman Little Walter Jacobs in 1952. Although Little Walter had been recording sporadically for small Chicago labels over the previous five years, and had appeared on Muddy Waters' records for the Chess label since 1950, "Juke" was Little Walter's first hit, and it was the most important of his career. Due to the influence of Little Walter on blues harmonica, "Juke" is now considered a blues harmonica standard.

A juke is a move in most forms of American football used to evade a tackler by deception, and thus without need of a stiff arm. A typical juke involves a ball-carrier faking as if he will run one way, then planting his foot and running the opposite. It can also be called sidestepping.
