Fascinating Song - The Devil Went Down to Georgia

[Aerows]

I've always liked it, but the lyrics of Johnny's confused me.

Fire on the Mountain Run Boys Run -"Fire on the Mountain", a traditional bluegrass fiddle tune dating to at least the early 19th century

Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun - The House of the Rising Sun is an amazing ballad. Sinead O'Connor did it, and it was awesome.

"Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough" Square dance pattern song, and I didn't know that because I would probably become fertilizer before I would square dance

"Granny does your dog bite? No, child, no" is a corruption of an old folk rhyme that starts "Granny will your dog bite? / Your hen peck, your rooster fight, / Your turkey walk a fence rail? / No child, no." [9] Like "Fire on the Mountain", "Granny Does Your Dog Bite?" is a traditional folk song recorded as early as 1938

Okay, spent way more time on this than I should have, but I was just interested in what the infathomable parts of the lyrics meant.

The upshot is that he won by knowing all of the songs and being able to play them.

I'm probably weird, I just really like that song.

1. You do know that Charlie Daniels is a total bigot?

[Bucky]

2. So was Tesla. That doesn't mean he didn't do something clever on occasion

3. True, but it is a clever song.

I also like the Legend of Wooley Swamp.

[Aerows]

9. I didn't know that

That's the only song I've ever heard by them.

4. Animals over Sinead.

Her version doesn't move me at all.

5. The devil plays the better sounding passage

[OriginalGeek]

8. I always thought so too

I think the fix was in!

6. I was a still wet-behind-the-ears radio announcer

when TDWDTG was released. There was the album version and the radio version. Of course we were still playing 45 rpm records back then and the radio version (son-of-gun) was on one side and the album version (son-of-a-bitch) on the other side, which was gouged with a scissors so it never was broadcast.
