I first heard Skinny Woman performed by RL Burnside and I thought that same thing. Kinda like how there's a T-Model Ford song that sounds just like "If You See Me." Dan got to jam with T Model, I wonder if he's ever jammed with Kenny Brown.

From the RL Burnside entry on Wikipedia:

Burnside's "Skinny Woman" was also interpolated into the song "Busted" by fellow Fat Possum musicians The Black Keys...

N. Miss. Allstars (among others) also play Skinny Woman. Sounds less like Busted than Brown's version. But yeah, Busted is clearly built on SW.

Actually, this kind of thing is fairly common in the blues world.
