in the song he says its illegal to hunt gators in the swamp. but in reality if you actually new shit about swamps they pay you lots of money to hunt as many gators as you can because they are over populating
@redresch shut the fuck up bitch. i know why your head hurts, because your dad and mom tried to kill you with a hammer when you were little because your scum
This song sounds like it could have easily been one of Primus'. The lyrics tell a funny story about a fictional or real person, much like many Primus songs. (Bob, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, De Anza Jig, etc.)
how do you figure they are making fun of jerry reed??
maybe if they corned it up a bit but i listened to the whole thing and its pretty close to the way jerry did it ... now you think cause claypools voice is different than reeds ...hes making fun ??
cause this cover is pretty dang close to a karaoke version ...only you have the lead singer of primus doing it
@pantscrapper12 It's pretty funny, my Grandfather is a HUGE fan of the original song, and I played this for him and it fooled him at first. They did a great job with this cover. It's a cover, and it's still one of my favorite Primus songs.
what the hell is your problem obamafails08?making fun of Jerry Reed? that's a damn tribute boy! have you lost your mind? well... have you mule skinner? just shut your damn mouth and listen!
I've never heard this version!! It's pretty good. Les pronounces "Thibideux" like "tippytoe", the way I always thought it was for years until the internet came along... haha.
This is an amazing cover. This actually fooled my Grandfather, who is a fan of the original song. Of course, when he heard Les start singing...he knew. But the music fooled him. They did an amazing job with this.
best version of this song besides the original
