The song in this muppets clip seems to be the preferred example anytime a show wants to play banjo music. It sounds like it’d fit right in on an old Dukes of Hazzard episode. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXyvCJlPgME) ---

The title of the song is right there in the title of the clip. It’s Dueling Banjos. ---

How’s abouts [this one?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRquWAKoRAs) (ignore the video part, the audio is from an old SNL skit with John Belushi & Peter Boyle). I was reading the Wiki entry for the movie \*Deliverance \*and amazingly they used that song without permission! The author sued & won.
