Howzabout Sweet Home Alabama, Lynard Skynard

“Well I heard Mister Young sing about her  
Well I heard ole Neil put her down  
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember  
A southern man don’t need him around anyhow”

Martin

Here’s another one:

The Transplants - Tall Cans in the Air

“We got Distillers, AFI, LFB, and Crystal Sound”

That’s such a strange song.

Aerosmith- **Ain’t That a Bitch** , Nine Lives  
“Love is like the last licks / Outta Hendrix”

Aerosmith- **Crash** , Nine Lives  
“Doing tons of colon blow / Stuffing it in every hole / Mile-high, so am I / Watching Jimi kiss the sky”

Hmm… what was in their CD player in 1996?

Emmylou Harris - **Bluebird Wine**  
“listen’ to Buck Owens on the radio and drinkin’ all the Bluebird we can hold”

Juliana Hatfield - **My Sister**  
“she’s the one who would’ve taken me to my first all ages show. It was the Violent Femmes and \<another band whose name I’ve never been able to make out\>”

Riders in the Sky - a very twisted version of **Cucaracha**  
“Ricky Ricardo, the late Guy Lombardo”
