Subject: Charlie Daniels Parody
Hello all, I am a new member here so If I am in the wrong area, someone please direct me to the right area... ??? anyhoo... I do the karaoke thing on friday and Saturday nites at a local pub here. There is a guy there that does a parody of "Devil Went Down To Georgia" by Charlie Daniels. I went thru the archives here. There were a couple for this title but not the one I am hearing at the bar. The one I am hearing is re-titled "Devil Went Down To Jamaica". Has anyone here heard this or know the artist who put it together OR... just maybe, did this guy make it up ?
Will check back in the next day or so for replies

"The Devil Went To Jamaica" is one of my all-time favourite parodies and is by a chap called Travis Meyer, so you won't find it on amiright. A google search will track down the lyrics pretty quickly, and you'll probably find it on Kazaa.
Incidentally, I wrote one to the same tune called Phil Neville went down to Porsche (I've even recorded it)

Thanks for your replies... turns out the version I was looking for is done by none other than "Weird Al". This can be found at Metrolyrics.com .

er... Rich, I think you'll find that "The Devil Went To Jamaica" is NOT by Weird Al: run this search - "Songs not by Weird Al"
I've sent a correction to Metrolyrics
