Watermelon Sacrifice at the New Orleans Jazz Festival 4-26-09

Participants chant an old New Orleans fruit vendors song before sacrificing the watermelon.
"I SAID, WATERMELON, WATERMELON, RED TO THE RIND. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, JUST PULL DOWN THE BLIND. SELL IT TO THE RICH. SELL IT TO THE POOR. SELL IT TO THE LADY STANDING IN THAT DO-O-OR. IN THAT DO-O-OR. IN THAT DO-O-OR."
