What's the melody that says 'scary redneck country'?

For the record, if you google “scary redneck music” Dueling Banjos is the first hit.

No, “What Child Is This?”

God Bless the USA?

It’s A Small World.
May not be redneck but it’s scary as hell.

Dixie?

Sweet Home Alabama ?

The devil went down to Georgia?

Man, I’m really scared, now!

Indeed. Steve Martin, who is a completely self-taught banjo virtuoso, pointed this out in one of his classic bits. He says how ‘happy’ a banjo sounds, when you hear it you know every thing’s gonna be ok. How, “You can’t play a banjo and sing, ‘Oh death, and grief, and sorrow, and murder…’” :smiley:

It’s called Honky Tonk Badonkadonk

Pretty sure it was that dueling something number. I’ll see if I can google it…

Here we go-
Ten Duel Commandments from Hamilton

Fighting Flutes?

Arguing acoustic guitars?

Scrapping saxophones?

Battling bongos?

Ornery ocarinas?

Angry accordions?

Damn what the f is it?

Says you!

Even the names “Lester Flatt” and “Earl Scruggs” just sound like the kind of people who play banjo music.

Free Bird

Banjo? Hell, that guy made the fucking slide whistle sound dark!

Seriously, though, that’s an awesome video.

edit: never mind!
