[DictionRedaction]

We could use a little more music like that up north here. That is 100% classic.

[walterlights]

I am 81 yrs of age now. This song brings back all the wonderful memories of country music back in those days.

[musicluver2290]

[WisdomandPeace1991]

Sweet Home Alabama.... Roll Tide Roll !!!

[andy456789de]

@WisdomandPeace1991 IF UR AN ALABAMA FAN WHY ARE U LISTENING TO A TENNESSEE FIGHT SONG

[WisdomandPeace1991]

@andy456789de Thats like saying "Well if you like country, then you cant listen to rock??" You sound foolish. I dont hate Tennessee, but the Tide will always Roll on my end !!!

[andy456789de]

[ThePZA75]

It's freezing up here in Ontario. I'm gonna go look for that still.

[BaylorBear34]

[nmwlpi]

i can only pray that blue grass never gets prostetuted the way "country" is being ruined today

[jthomaston]

@nmwlpi Have you seen all of the videos on YouTube with modern country artists and others singing "Rocky Top" when they visit Knoxville? Most, if not all, are completely atrocious.

[staudy69]

@nmwlpi blue grass is the best always was and always will from a true hillbilly from the hills

[doughesson]

@nmwlpi I don't know.Allison Krauss has a drum set on stage.

[cjames8300]

@nmwlpi Your right country ain't country no more, now i just listen to bluegrass

[xX60DemonDrummer09Xx]

GO GATORS!!!!!

[GirlyGirl0567]

i love country music but this song tops them all!!!!

[curly239]

@libroy 72 strangers wern't never heard from again!!

[TheBabyGenocide]

[coreyval0801]

GOOOOOOO Vols!!!!

[Lablover1245]

they pick it with three fingers

u can c it in first secs of song

[kyawmawthu]

how exactly do them banjo players play the banjo so rapidly? i do not see how it is physically possible

[swilson53ic]

@kyawmawthu he was just good one of the best banjo players ever.

[BaylorBear34]

@kyawmawthu knew a professor that said he went to a stuido session, the guys looked at the music, threw it down and started playing..nashville studio musicians are beyond talented. started playing when they were probably five.

[lilbroy]

72 strangers went to rocky top and left.

[jthomaston]

@lilbroy At least they were able to, unlike those poor Revenue boys who are still up there somewhere fertilizing the corn.

[SongCloud]

Amazing to see the old Grand Ol' Opry stage back when it was still a place that performers felt honored to perform at.

[lilbroy]

@SongCloud AMEN!!!!!

[blondevolunteer]

GOD bless our VOLS

[IAmtheNexusOne]

Too bad their football team isn't as good as their music.

[lilfoxy2]

[Scoashy]

noone in sports is on top forever and noone is on bottom for ever...GO VOLS

[meanmotor74]

@bobbyearl60 Pure is in the eye of the beholder. Remember England was invaded by Romans, Angles, Saxons, Picts, Danes, Norwegians, and Normans and is hardly a pure language itself deriving from Celtic, German, Scandinavian, French, and Latin. Also I've found that Southern accents differ a little between more British sounding mid-Atlantic states and the more 'Americanized' Great Plains states (OK, TX, KS, etc.). Really if you want purity you have to go to Latin based languages. Or Chinese ;-)

[bobbyearl60]

Im a dawg fan and love when the vols band plays rocky top. Oh yeah ...the English will generally agree with NoggleBaum. when I went to England I was told I didnt have an accent.The so called "southern accent''is derived mainly from the way colonists spoke before the revolution.the Northern states speak English that has been diluted due to a heavier amount of immigration to those states over the years .until recently the south was more isolated and agrarian.thus Our speech remained more pure. .

[dukefanswimmer89]

can't stand the vols, (how's being the bottom of Men's NCAA sports treating y'all?), but i can't help loving this song. Go Dores!

[NoggleBaum]

Them silly yankees will never understand. They's the folks whats got accents, ain't nobody from around here ever had no such traits.

[gornblanston]

@NoggleBaum - I'm a Yankee and I understand. I went to school in Florida, and my roommate was from Nashville. I've been to the South many times and love it down there. The sad thing is that the Southern speech patterns are being lost. I was in Raleigh-Durham a while back and in a whole week met up with one person who sounded like they were from N.C. Keep talkin' how you talk - keep it alive!

[LucidDream]

Proud to be born and raised in Tennessee, love the culture. :)

[Xinkey]

Which one is in Black Sabbath?

[JoacoStrat]

que buen tema locooo:D

[35150Alabama]

I liked Lynn Andersons version, but Nobody does it like these guys.

[xXToneLocXx]

72 strangers never came down from ol' Rocky Top

[ukdawgs08]

Good God I hate Tennessee and the Volunteers..but I love this song

[londoncoolj]

72 people don't get their corn from a jar

[theflash1952shodan]

There ain't nothing like the original, but I would dearly have loved to have seen the Dillards play this live in Rodney's prime. There's nothing like that "high lonesome sound"!

[classickruzer1]

LUV THIS SONG !!! Born in TENN, BUT LIVE IN Alabama !!!! AWESOME but ROLL TIDE !!!

[1Stalker1]

__|==|__

[assonine666]

I am a metal head but one cant deny the awesomeness of songs like this.

[WolfySnackrib666]

Lol "Wild an amoeba, sweet as soda pop, I still dream of that" what kind of lyrics is that?!

[floydthechimpanzee]

@WolfySnackrib666 Wild as a mink

[Kuuryo]

@WolfySnackrib666

It's wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop. If you have trouble understanding the accent, try looking it up before making a fool of yourself.

[WolfySnackrib666]

@Kuuryo Yeah, buncha rednecks singing and I'm making a fool out of myself.

[Kuuryo]

@WolfySnackrib666 Well, I call em like I see em. Not only did you make a fool of yourself, now you're showing your ignorance. Insinuating that " a buncha rednecks singing" is somehow foolish is a crass and ignorant thing to do. Not only is that a verbal bitchslap to the entirety of Tennessee (This is their state song), it's as ignorant as being a bigoted racist. It's just as inapropriate to demean people for their birthplace and accent as it is for their skin color.

[WolfySnackrib666]

@Kuuryo Bigoted perhaps, racist no. You should read up on the definition of racism. Birthplace and accent can be hidden, changed, modified, but skincolor, that's something you're born with, something you gotta live with. If it makes you feel any better, I really dig this song, sung by the infamous Wolverine.

[Kuuryo]

@WolfySnackrib666 I was initailly going to ignore this, but your response piqued my interest. In order to define racism, one must first define race. Of which, websters has several. This in particular is what I tend to use: a group of persons related by common descent or heredity. Now you could* say, whits is white. But you can clearly genetically define English from Scottish from Irish from Nordic etc. Really it depends on how far you'd like to split the hair.

[WolfySnackrib666]

@Kuuryo Racism is usually defined by ethnicity and skin color. However, science barely ever use the term race because it is too simplified and outdated. Now science speaks more about population and culture, where as it's more a social phenomenon without roots into scientific research to use the word racism and race.

[chipotle29]

@WolfySnackrib666 All of you quit associating the south with racism and enjoy the damn song. I LOVE ROCKY TOP!

[WolfySnackrib666]

@chipotle29 Yeah! I love Wolverine's singing!

[knoxcountykyman1]

@WolfySnackrib666 i'd like to split it as far as possible, i'm not racist, but i is irish

[WolfySnackrib666]

@knoxcountykyman1 You mean you're drunk?

[animalmedicine]

I'm "wild as the wind but sweet as soda pop" oh man i love this song!

[CFRfan101]

I don't live in TN But I know this song by heart

[Nascarking24]

Any Tennesseean (especially those who live in Knoxville) know this song by heart.

[fuzzypige222]

as i get older i go back to my roots,,,, glad these guys are my roots

[ChristianSoldier1944]

It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!!!!

[rreemmzzrruullee]

@ChristianSoldier1944 roll tide from a proud student of bama. although this song is bad ass.

[ChrisYonts]

[ChasingDestinyBand]

[daughterofRMS]

The Osborne Brothers ROCK "Rocky Top"!  Thanks for this post!

[BgMsDangerus]

I'm from Tennessee and this song has always, does now and will always say it all.

[Earthquakeprod]

[supersnakegtr]

[usranger76]

The Gators may not be having a good season this year, but they still beat your ass Tennessee.

[crazy4VOLS]

@usranger76 the gators got us this year just wait until the 3rd Sat in Sept. in 2012



[meemerp]

that main singer guy looks like a leprechaun!

[Goofus5453]

@meemerp Your a main dumbass guy

[meemerp]

maaake it stooooop!!!

[joemoye1]

Yelling "WOOH" after they sing "Good ol' rockytop" is STUPID.

[BrownPeopleGetUp]

It is said that this song took Felice and Boudleaux Bryant about 10 minutes to write.

*Simple is Best!*

[BrownPeopleGetUp]

simply put, nothing beats bluegrass!

[BrownPeopleGetUp]

Great tune. Best lyrics!!

[epicureus314159]

love your country, hate your government

[KillingJokes97]

Thumbs up if your from Tennessee.

[kelleybest]

@NonSilentKiller and let's not forget about the implied murder.

[kelleybest]

@NonSilentKiller I'm quite sure you recognize brilliant deductive powers, but not sarcasm. So let me spell it out for my southern friend, if you have no telephone bills (and ergo no telephones), it's not necessarily a bragging point. Even in 1967.

[AMScruff]

I'm from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina and I nothing gets me like some good bluegrass. Go to school at Auburn, but have a soft spot for the Vols. Go UT!!

[Gene041]

fantastic hill tune

[LetsGoWolfpack]

They played this at Hillbilly hideaway in North Carolina. I love this song.

[gurrando3a6]

Love that song.Gets the git up and go get going...LOL

[Chappy757]

Great song!

[60MudDigger]

@chuckysluggo hey u dont have to give bluegrass a bad name by going around and calling people no-nothing fucks, thats immature. If you know so much about culture you would know that rural southerners do not look at the word "nigger" as a cuss word, but as a word that has been heard as a part of our society growing up. Its not an insult to some people. So do everyone a favor and stay in the city and study all of your little cultures that you know so much about.

[JohnFWitt]

@60MudDigger I was born in raised in rural Tennessee, and I don't know of a single person who doesn't realize that "nigger" is a racial slur.

[mH8675309]

Dogoneit! They shore can render!!

[chuckysluggo]

I love this music. I've lived most my life in the City but much of my family came from WV, Kentucky and Tennessee. Regardless,I have a connection to this music and I am proud of it. I've been exposed to more cultures and "culture" than most people from rural lands. I love this music but when someone references "niggers", and it happens almost every time I look at a youtube country video, it just puts one fat shit stain on the country/blue grass legacy. Get a life u ignorant, no-nothing fuck!

[HomewardBoundWM]

67 niggers dont like this song !

[kelleybest]

aint no telephone bills! Hell, that's cause they have no telephones.

[mr2on3]

@TENNESSEExPICK6 Hoe! Im from Alabama! Fuck you.

[MrDead1972]

I sure could use some corn from a jar right about now

[skyangel1100]

Who out there wants to climb Rocky Top with me for a swig of Distilled Spirit's?

[Gojeku]

noone cares about that jack dan crap

jim beam is where its at

[Gojeku]

Kentucky whoops ass

[eaglesblood1]

no matter were your from if your a good ol boy you will love this song!!!!

[GrumpyBoy86]

I'm from Detroit, Michigan, but this song makes me wish I was from Rocky Top, Tennesseeee! ;)

[Thelonesniper101]

I'm from North Carolina, but I live in the Northwest corner of it so I live very close to both Virginia and Tennesee. I've been to Gatlinburg many times, very beautiful place indeed. ROCKY TOP TENNESEE!

[FoothillsofWyoming]

@TENNESSEExPICK6 don't blame Alabama. The people who gave this a thumps down are deaf.

[nothinrunslikeadeer2]

Proud my whole family come from tennessee!!! sadly i wasnt fortunate enough to be born down there but ill move down to be with my kin at some point

[kroyka]

pure goodness!

[knoxcountykyman1]

i'm from kentucky and even we're smart enough to know this is a great song

[spiderjohn420]

@knoxcountykyman1 That's good to hear. I'm a lifelong Vols fan but I was born and raised in Bell County. :-)

[musclecarluvr1]

@knoxcountykyman1 Kentucky rocks. My grandpa was from deep in the hills of Harlan Co...still have relation there.

[knoxcountykyman1]

@musclecarluvr1 not far from me at all,

[runner1724]

Some people need coffee to get going in the morning. All I need is some ROCKY TOP!

[brittyboo85]

I have a friend that is from Louisiana and he just told me tonight that he didnt know Rocky Top... My mouth dropped and hit the floor... I cant believe that someone doesnt know Rocky Top...

[bluegrassy1]

Love it! Always have. Fun song to sing too.

[microwaveo1]

Damn you Tennessee i was at the florida game and this song got stuck in my head AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH...oh rocky top....HHHHHHHH

[odanak100]

[mbchoirgirl71]

The first time I ever heard this song was in choir my junior year! One of the boys choirs sang this!!

[M3XIN470R]

Union Titans!

[TaylorTaller]

This always reminds me of my town's carnival, since they've played it every year since I can remember!

[thelionshares1]

the essence of bluegrass, sing about your home, thinking back on good memories; great music, the fastest playable beat in the world? especially the last stanza enjoy again and again. thank you

[MultiWilliam7777]

[Katanapwnzall]

[Taharee]

God I miss singing this song!!!! I wish I had never moved from TN! Nashville, Tennessee will always be and always my home!

[gatabait16]

Send the Volunteers back to Rocky Flop!!

[youngbrolly6]

[Vincetreking1]

@michelle22leach This song does give me chills I love eastern Tenn. One of my favorite drives is thur Soddy Daisy and Pleasant Hill. And nothing is more fun than haul-N ass up and down Signal Mt.
