The Band, the Gun, and the Drunk Footnotes

The band played on while I chased a drunk down with my gun, where did all those kids come from?


Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith, Dueling Banjos 1955. Made famous after it's inclusion on the Deliverance Soundtrack. "I hear the Banjos" reference has been used by many to signal the approach of danger. Great movie, great ending. I really thought I heard Banjos Dueling while I chased that guy further and further into no-mans land.

Bon Jovi, Wanted Dead or Alive 1986. Was the guy running because he had warrants? Was I going to have to kill him after he took his shirt off? Well, he may have been wanted dead or alive for all I knew. Possibly my favorite song by them.
