Primus - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
February 26, 2008
I’ve always loved the fiddle, and I really don’t know why. I must have inherited the interest from my dad when I was a kid. I suppose I got off easy, as I very well could have picked up his passion for fanny packs and Roger Whittaker.
I also love Primus, claymation, and all things devilish, so I was very happy to find this video just now.
Heh, now that was a blast from the past!

Awesome, sweet, great, spectacular. I loved that. I love claymation, Primus, and almost anyone playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
Still, have you ever noticed that in most of these renditions of the song, the Devil’s song is usually better than Johnny’s? Who was handling the voting, Diebold?
McSweeney’s had a pretty funny take on the song a few years ago. Here is a link:

Hah, thanks for that link. The devil does play a better tune than Johnny. A little more creativity, a little more style…

That was brilliant - and I loved those chickens! ;-)
