LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Saturday Night Special

[froggies60]

I always thought this song referred to a 38 special....like his brothers band???

[charger4079]

This line-up was so f*cking good!!What a shame........

[BadMotorFinger6969]

NO!!! MY interpretation of the song is right, NOT YOURS!!!!

[73h1337h4xx0r]

gta 4 :D

[eblair1990420]

Fallen 'ride the sky' any1???

[Juanfire]

longest yard sent me here. remember when burt reynolds threw the car in the water.

[81man4ua]

A S&W Model 638, or equivalent (.38 snub), is hardly a Saturday Night Special.

[ddawg132]

@81man4ua

ur mom.

[dong2phat4u]

Ronnie's saying put the guns away, don't outlaw em.

[petergrebenyuk2010]

Man finally I know what this song is called I kept hearing this song on the radio plus thumbs up if you like this song.

[MrFoootballa117]

when he says fill him with 38 holes it is technically wrong.. a saturday night special is not a .38 special. A saturday night special is actually a .25 semi-automatic handgun. not sure what the 38 holes verse was about, but great song.

[analagony]

@MrFoootballa117 maybe he meant that he shot ol hoss with 38 bullets,,,, not .38 bullets..... anyways its a great song huh bubba

[jldwolfe]

@MrFoootballa117 I am sorry but a "saturday night special" is usually referring to any cheap small pocket gun that is easy to conceal and was purchased for little $ from a private seller with no paper trail so not a big loss to throw away after "taking care of business". Yes most guns that fall in that category where .25 semi-autos. However .22 shorts where a common "gut gun" and in truth any small dirt cheap hand gun can be called a saturday night special.

[r2j6m87]

@jldwolfe my first pistol was a lil .25ACP saturday night special, it met the same fate you describe in your post. Great song

[rebelson198724]

ronnie van zant and ed king wrote it

[TennFan76]

its a good song but its wronge.

[roggerfrogger2]

Burt Reynolds beating up a woman sent me

[HanoiRocks1990]

@roggerfrogger2 Fuckin right, me too

[egurzi]

i know you all can hear me. chalk it up to what? find the missing elements so my boyfriend patrick can rest and everyone can fuck off elsewhere,.

[tmm0586]

@jsl840314 Conway Twitty wrote that song

[forkmondo]

mean mean mean guitar solo with a completely haunting metal rhythm part housing it. amazing. not totally ashamed of bein from florida but then theres that fred durst putz. ronnie van zant coulda and WOULDA put a good ol southern behind the woodshed beatin on his ass.

[nighttrain11000]

i dont conform to the the radio its bad enough in this digital world weel all be chipped up pretty soon ! if i want to listen to sweet home alabama ill throw on second helping and listen to the greatest band there ever was ! in context with all the other great songs they made they would of ruled the world those good old boys they made a big impact on me as soon as i heard the 1st strains of that old casette the greatest sound i ever heard.

[venerableraptor]

isn't the saturday night special a reference to a .38 special?

[TheBlindWatermelon]

@venerableraptor yes

[yam83]

@venerableraptor A saturday night special is a "compact, inexpensive handgun with low cost and high availability".

[Casper7o4]

@venerableraptor it is just a Saturday night special doesnt have the hammer with it

[Kahunabro1997]

tryin to learn this song right now, not as easy as it seemed. I also hat ehow people think nowadays skynyrd only has sweet home alabama, ans thats about all they know.

[FinCroweman]

forgot how brilliant this song was.... watching the longest yard with burt reynolds in a car chase from the cops while he's listening to this song is just an epic win!

[11deathmetal]

@FinCroweman  1974 one

[DP633]

Van Zant took a lot of heat from the NRA for this song. He was an expert marksman and the NRA felt he was selling them out.

[MenaceDemENACE]

[DISPENSER4HIRE]

Love the song, hate the message

[LutherRayable]

@DISPENSER4HIRE I agree with you 100%man,Guns don't kill people PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.Great music,absolutely stupid message.It's like saying"damn cletus got drunk on wild turkey n dun kilt skeeter with a pistol....Guess we better burn down the wild turkey plant on the way to burning down the gun manufacturer for what they dun to cletus".Next it'll be" i got drunk and felt asleep n my girl crawled in the fridge and died.Refridgerators are the devil man! fridges are outlawed for what they done to ma"

[CrazyDude862]

I hear this song alot in gta 4 its super annoying :L everytime I turn to Liberty Rock Radio this song is playing :L

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

@CrazyDude862 SCREW YOU! THIS SONG PWNS!

[StalkingRainbow]

@CrazyDude862 You obviously aren't a true classic rock fan. I mean seriously what kind of classic rock fan doesn't like Lynyrd Skynrd?

[1953Freebird]

@StalkingRainbow a Pretend one

[cubby3o5]

This was in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned. No further comment.

[miked90123]

Love the lyric's and my SNS 9mm

[CassandraAntares]

I love the music and energy of this songs and vocals

[newbie738]

Any old pawn will do!!!!!!

[BuzzCuzzz]

"LYNYRD SKYNYRD" RVZ and the Gang,.. Lives On Forever- in my Heart in my Ears and in my Eyes! Greatest Music on the Planet !!!!

[sickofcommies]

What the fuck were they thinking with these stupid fucking libtard lyrics,lol.

It jams though.

[Flyboy207]

@sickofcommies LOL its the truth

[busyhands94]

@sickofcommies

3:59 "so why don't we keep them people... safe but within reach.

so if some ol' fool come around here,

we'll stop him before he shoots either you or me"

something more like that would be better. because when evil wants to harm you, being a helpless worm isn't the answer. I'd rather the "ol' fool" be dead and a good person be alive than him alive (and able to kill again) and a good person dead. it's just so fucking simple. i like the music but the lyrics i don't agree with.

[THEATREofPAIN270]

Oh looky here, 4 people suck. Great tune by a great band.

[HoumannRock]

This song and "Sweet Home Alabama" make it very clear that LS is/was not at all sympathizing with the right wing politics. -Oh I love this band

[bamboneski]

BIG JIMS BEEN DRANKIN WHISKEY

[YvonneBun]

Brilliant stuff.

[MegaDraa]

Still making Jacksonville proud.

[789films]

blue american steel lead and gun powder :D not a fucking thing better

[pettit55]

If you believe in this country and what the constitution was founded on it states the right to bear arms. Does not matter if it is hand guns or rifle.Always... Always...listen and believe in the constitution.

[jsl840314]

@pettit55 What about tactical nuclear weapons? By your absolutist logic we should be allowed to have mini-nukes.

[boardrider58]

Only pussies need handguns.

[lennonfn2010]

You know, the important thing about this song is its message. Skynard wanted handguns gone. Get rid of them all, they said. Dump them to the bottom of the sea. Seems like a good idea to me.

[iSTOMPguidos]

@lennonfn2010

ronnie van zant owned guns and supported the right to carry. this is just a catchy song lyric sonny boy

[lennonfn2010]

@iSTOMPguidos No, a catchy lyric is Ballroom Blitz or You Really Got Me. Most people don't write a message song and not mean it. Unless, of course, you are calling Ronnie a liar or a hypocrite. Oh, and don't call me sonny boy.

[Flyboy207]

@lennonfn2010 You know, I don't think anyone agrees with you. That includes me, sonny boy.

[jsl840314]

@Flyboy207 Ronnie's lyrics seem pretty unambiguous. He says *handguns* are good for nothing but killing people. He owned rifles and shotguns and loved to hunt, but he thinks we should get rid of the cheap shitty guns because they can lead to impulsive violence. I think just about anybody with half a brain would agree that Van Zant wouldn't have written lyrics this explicit if he didn't mean it.

[Koscheck2011]

@jsl840314 that is the most retarded thing ive ever read

[jsl840314]

@Koscheck2011 It's probably the only thing you've ever read, fuckface.

[fanoffail]

@jsl840314 i heard somewhere that they had to do an anti-gun song as part of their contract

[jsl840314]

@fanoffail pics or it didn't happen.

[98carlya]

@jsl840314 yea he wrote the song about a cheap 38. pistol, they were used to assassinate people fast and you could conseal it or hide it easy, its not like you can walk up to a famous person with a shot gun.

[PumpingSmashkins]

@jsl840314 Gimme back my bullets.

[DJPelckerson]

@jsl840314

14 thumbs up cheap shity gun lover wtf does that mean? cap guns fuckin laser tag your retarded

[jsl840314]

@DJPelckerson Are you insulting me? Your sentences are so poorly constructed I honestly can't tell what the fuck you're talking about. Is English your first language?

[DJPelckerson]

@jsl840314

dude my bad... i was drinking beer last night listening to good tunes my bad brotha

[mcul2112]

@jsl840314 "Handguns are made for killing. They ain't no good for nothing else..."

Yeah, that spells it out as much as you can.

[mothrabattra]

@jsl840314 like you said..he loves to hunt.

[lennonfn2010]

See, even a band like Skynard understands that handguns are fucking stupid. Get rid of them all.

[randomday1234]

@BudmaudeY LOOK AT THE QUOTES you fucking idiot I was quoting someone else.

[APCphantom]

@survivor5718

stupid fuck we dont like those terms

[IncensePeppermints68]

This song reminds me of something that happened in my town around 20 years ago or so. This guy was suspicious of his wife. Thought she was a cheater, so one day he got off work early, walked in the house, opened the bedroom door...caught his wife red-handed with another man. He shot them both. True story! my dad told me.

[VirginiaBeachNative]

What a bad ass, classic rock and roll song!!

[abombination1228]

80% of all statistics are made up on the spot;)

[ineedAmberLamps]

@abombination1228 45 % of the time :)

[Shriner66]

The greatest gun control song of all time!

[iamlord2all]

watchin this drinking bourbon, is there any other way. long live skynyrd!!!!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Skynyrd hit #27 in Billboard, 8-2-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[Cazkumali]

what year was this song released

[busyhands94]

my dog was licking my foot while i was listening to this! haha!

[jaker1457]

@mightyafrowhitey In my opinion, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grand Funk Railroad, Pink Floyd. There are others too. personally i think The beatles are overrated, but thats just me.

[user98xp]

@jaker1457

The Beatles were pretty good. They were pop, though, and pop is always overrated.

[allhailrussell]

@user98xp the beatles were poop,not pop

[7itanium452112]

One of the earliest and most unsuspected gun control songs.

[Myytmovies]

Lynyrd was at its best when Ronnie was in it.

But Johnny's still cool

[jaker1457]

@wintertwister If you think the Beatles are the only good band from the 60's, you have never listened to music from the 60's. The beatles are totally overrated, many, many bands are 100 times better.

[mightyafrowhitey]

@jaker1457 I would have to disagree with you about The Beatles being overrated. there were man great bands to come out of the 60's though. what bands would you say were better than The Beatles?

[Owliganka]

Why isn't this song more popular?

[1962drob]

Lynyrd Skynyrd Rocks!!! This is a great song to crank up!!!

LONG LIVE ROCK!!!

[CainmosniMirrored]

Thumbs up if you think Johnny is a chump and that "New" "Lynyrd Skynyrd" sucks.
