Devil went down to Georgia (ala Primus)
So after downloading the old school Chuck D version, listening, laughing, remembering secretly listening to it as a little girl in my bed in the dark (to see if the radio would beep out the bad word), and realizing that Primus made a MOVIE…I had to look up the lyrics to the incoherent song Johnny defeats the devil with. I was a little underwhelmed.
Fire on the moun, run boys, run.
The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin’ out dough.
“Granny, does your dog bite?”
“No, child, no.”
Whaa?
Which reminded me of a recent ponderation (new word I just made up) :
If your sword of the spirit is a little more like a dull butterknife…but God gave it to you and said “FIGHT!” Isn’t that just as good as a fancy sword? And if you gotta sing a stupid song about chickens pickin bread dough and whether your grandma’s dog bites to get the devil off yer back….then GO! FIGHT! SING! LIVE! Get some chickens as back up singers! That’s all for now.
p.s. I love the sound the fiddle makes every time the devil bumps it or drops it. >doink< Merely observing...
p.p.s. I didn't know where else to post this picture
“Frenchie, the fiddlin’ with fire phenom. Two nights only. Reserve your tickets now. Don’t forget to wear fireproof clothing. And no hair spray!”
