  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • @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?

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

  • No you asswipe, hes an imbred. Read a book.

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

  • yeah he was :)
