Dixie Fried:Carl Perkins. Sun Records -1956. #1. Well on the outskirts of town there’s a little night spot. Dan dropped in about five o’clock. Pulled off his coat said The night is short. He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart. CHORUS: He hollered Rave on children I’m with you! Rave on cats he cried. It’s almost dawn the cops are gone. Let’s all get Dixie fried. #2. Well Dan got happy and he started raving. He pulled out a razor but he wasn’t shaving. And all the cats knew to jump and hop Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop. CHORUS: He hollered Rave on children I’m with you! Rave on cats he cried. It’s almost dawn the cops are gone. Let’s all get Dixie fried. #3. Well the cops heard Dan when he started to shout. They all ran in to see what it was about. And I heard him holler as they led him away. He turned his head and this is what he had to say. CHORUS: He hollered Rave on children I’m with you! Rave on cats he cried. It’s almost dawn the cops are gone. Let’s all get Dixie fried. #4. Now Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw. He let us all know he wasn’t scared of the law. Thru the black cross-bars he tossed a note.. He said It ain’t my fault hon that I’m in here. CHORUS: He hollered Rave on children I’m with you! Rave on cats he cried. It’s almost dawn and the cops ain’t gone. And I been Dixie fried. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire de Dan, un personnage intrépide qui s’amuse dans un endroit animé en fin de soirée. Il arrive avec une bouteille et un enthousiasme débordant, incitant tout le monde à se joindre à lui pour profiter de la nuit. Alors qu’il se laisse emporter par l’excitation, il montre une facette imprévisible de lui-même, brandissant un rasoir sans intention de se raser, ce qui suscite l’attention des autorités. Malgré l’arrivée de la police, Dan conserve son audace, affirmant qu’il n’a pas peur de la loi, même en étant placé en garde à vue. Ce morceau évoque l’esprit de rébellion et d'insouciance des années 50, capturant une ambiance festive et délicieusement chaotique.
