Jackal was around long before Jackyl, we never really had a choice covering this song. We were very small in comparison however we did have a good following. They started shouting for us to play it everywhere. The name sounded the same that's all that mattered. They wanted The Lumberjack, thus as soon as it got airplay in Canada a couple weeks later we dug out my old chainsaw and covered it. Oh it was fun, I love the song and all the energy. I met them all at Massey Hall in Toronto, backstage with all the works. LoL Soon after and a small deal from Geffen Records that was only half honored, we changed the name of the band to IT. Thus my last band was IT and after a decade without music I have now simply become ME. Thank you for watching. ME Lrics Below

I was born in the backwoods
Of a two-bit nowhere town
Fathered up some rock 'n' roll (baby)
So you muthers could boogie down
I ain't whistling dixie
No I'm a rebel with a groove
All around the world the ygo 'round and 'round
When they dig on my new stainless steel sound
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack baby
And you're the one that gets my prize
And when you hear my motor running
You know I surely be coppin' a rise
So I'm gonna crank it up and cut it down
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
But I ain't jacked my lumber baby
Since my chain saw you
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack baby
And you're the one that gets my prize
And when you hear my motor running
You know I surely be coppin' a rise
So I'm gonna crank it up and cut it down
The first and never to be forgotten, thank you very much...ME
