Do they still play Cotton Eye Joe?

I remember working there and there would always be this one concessions guy that sold drinks that would put his stuff down when this song came up and he would start dancing to it from one end of one of the sides of the stadium, to the other and back. Would often influence a lot of other people to try it, especially during the basketball games.

Yes I believe it's at the end of the 3rd quarter. Pistol Pete gets his groove on! :banana:

Sweet. Have the song stuck in my head, and listening to it several times last night on youtube didn't help. lol

I always chuckle when I hear that song. Not sure whether I should be ashamed or not that that song came out of Sweden (not the original, obviously, but Rednex are Swedes). :lol:

Wonder how much money they've made from it since it came out in the mid-nineties or whenever it was?

I miss the giant dude in the band who used to dance to it. He got the croud going for sure

I miss the vendor guy that sold pop that would dance to it back when I worked there. Always fun to watch.

I always thought the giant dude in the band was going to fall over and die someday from overexerting himself. Fun as hell to watch though.

I was actually standing next to him in the band when he did it for the first time. Very spontaneous and I thought he was going to take my head off! He's a very Chris Farley-esque guy. Large, but very agile, and a lot of fun to be around.

I get a kick out of watching all the little kids try to imitate him or the concessions guy. Good times.

GO POKES!

Yea and sadly not very many kids get it right :tickedoff:
