[xollst]

@ghost51493 Good thing you know how to spell inbred... otherwise you'd just look like a douche, eh?

[ghost51493]

@xollst, Thanks for the correction! I don't know what I would do with out you! But wait...who the fuck was talking to you?

[RachelUchiha92]

haha we watched this in school. we are making a remix of it because a friend of mine looks exactly like banjo boy!

love this scene!!!

[tyler1955]

the guy was not really playing the banjo

[koolieo4512]

yeah he was :)

[Sneezlebob]

why is this scene so popular

[congress3]

Because the tune is fantastic.

[phoenix1916]

I never understood why it was called "dueling banjoes"??

[kakake12]

@congress3 No... It's because inbread hicks are gross.

[kunhyung]

It tells the entire movie within the scene. You have several city slickers attempting to take one last ride on a wild river that will soon be damned. In this scene, you have the guitarist playing a duet with the local rural boy. For awhile they are making great music but at the end the city slicker can't keep up and wipes out. When they finish, they have nothing in common except the shared musical ride. They're not friends; there's no respect. Compare this with the ride down the river.

[BigLundi]

@Sneezlebob Also, because it was an original song recorded many years beforehand, that they used in this movie, and without the concent of the original artist, sparking a giant lawsuit.

[MehFishCakez]

i find those inbred dudes.. quite scary

[dev1se2k7]

[Binagre010203]

[bobbelibob]

In 1955, Arthur Smith composed a banjo instrumental called "Feudin' Banjos", recorded with five-string banjo player Don Reno. Later the composition appeared in Deliverance as "Dueling Banjos" played by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandel. Smith had to proceed with legal action that eventually gave him songwriting credit and back royalties. The composition is commonly used to depict a rural lifestyle and the people of these regions, most commonly mountain people of the southern region of the USA.

[flyinghirschh]

on and off, I have been searching a long time for this contagious banjo song. the search is over :-)

[kingzmail69]

A couple generations of inbreeding there

[jkfozl]

supposedly there is only a 3% chance of mental retardation with the early stages of inbreeding

[bigdjindustriez]

The tune is "Duelling banjo's", I hate the tune but just had to say that. Feuding banjo's is a COMPLETELY different tune, you can find a clip of it on here with Marty Stuart playing it with another group.

[bobbelibob]

It's not a whole different tune. It's different, yes, but it sure is true to the original - in terms of interpretation of course.

[krushnoi]

Agent--Good news: You got the acting job in the movie Deliverance!

Bad news: You play an inbred retarded hillbilly banjo picker because you look the part.

[kleach45]

The kid's parents got divorced but still remained brother and sister.

[bahajoshkibler]

creepy lookin kid,but hella good at playin that banjo.

[bigdjindustriez]

The kid isn't playing the banjo. The music for the movie was done by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandel.

[ostrvo]

Awesome,thanks!

[verytallone]

Who's pickin the banjo here?

[motonymph]

That's the real thing; real town, native kid. He said he wouldn't have participated had he known what the movie was about.

[twistedhairball]

He's got a real pretty mouth O-:

[useraccount333]

WOOT! STRINGED INSTRUMENT FIGHT!

[lindnerama]

Man, I hate the part when the fat guy gets Raped.

That is so disgusting. It always freaks me out.

[EternalLifeForYou]

Why? You like it up the ass?

[sickjacko]

squeel piggy

[Libitina72]

GREAT MOVIE

[dragon379]

this is a great way to start my morning

[bluemacdaddy]

i think he says "whose pickin the banjo here"as in stop sayin the kids inbred cause he can fekin shred!!!

[AmazonChitlin]

What's that guy (the one who whistles along later) say when he walks up behind the two guys talking? I always try to listen on the DVD, and now on here, but I can never understand him.

[gostlyimige2007]

he says "who's pickin the banja here" translated from the southern accent he says "who's pickin the banjo here" lol

[AmazonChitlin]

lol awesome, thanks!

[gostlyimige2007]

no problem glad to help out

[Zerocyde]

My bad, Stanley Brothers, not Statler Brothers.

[Zerocyde]

Great scene from a great movie. But this isent the ORIGINAL dueling banjos. That comes from the Statler Brothers back in.. hell the very early 1900's atleast.

My grandfathers had a recording of it at one point. Wish I woulda paid more attention back then...

[gostlyimige2007]

The piece was originally composed by Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith and Don Reno as Feuding Banjos in 1955.and also perfomed by lester flatt and earl skruggs among the many more who have also played this song

[antnest]

Billy Redden was the name of the kid who played the "Banjo Kid". From the Wikipedia website: ... the filmmakers found Redden (16) to fit the look of the inbred and mentally retarded banjo boy called for by the book (although Redden is neither inbred nor mentally retarded)... Redden could not play the banjo or even convincingly fake playing, and thus director John Boorman had another child slip his hand through Redden's sleeve to finger the chord changes.

[effeltron]

He's also inbred

[LardLad43]

Wtf? Down Syndrome? Are you people serious? Have you ever SEEN anyone with Down Syndrome? That kid is Autistic. He's less retarded than most of you guys.

[azndrummer1]

[BuckFush64]

[bulldogxx831]

[diePSpolice]

He's supposed to be inbred and retarded. In real life he is neither.
