Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: cotton eyed joe From: katlaughing Date: 26 Sep 99 - 02:47 PM Hi, Lilly. Welcome to the Mudcat. If you will click here you will find a long discussion thread on this song and its origins. You did really well by including the name of the song you are interested in, in the title of your thread. But, just so you know, the "Lyr/Chords Add:" that you used as a designation is used only when you are actually adding the lyrics and chords of a song you know, which will then be added to the DigiTrad database.:-) Please don't hesitate to ask if you have anymore questions. Someone on here will know the answer; it's a great bunch of really friendly, really knowledgable people who hang out here. The only real requirement is that you have a sense of humour and don't take anything too seriously.*big grin* All the best, katlaughing |

Subject: RE: Origins: Cotton Eyed Joe From: GUEST,Richie Date: 21 Oct 06 - 08:01 AM Mocha, I assume you're refering to the techno/dance version of Cotton-eyed Joe. Here's some info: Rednex is a Swedish manufactured band that had an international novelty hit with the song "Cotton Eye Joe" in 1995. Rednex is the brainchild of Swedish producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan Öberg, Pat Reiniz and Brian Reddyb, who decided to try mixing country music with techno. They decided to rework the traditional folk song, "Cotton-Eyed Joe", into a dance song. They recorded the song with studio musicians, put together a fake group of redneck role players to represent a group, and released it in 1994, to huge worldwide success, especially in Europe and Australia. An album titled Sex & Violins followed the hit song. Rednex went on to have other hits in Europe (its follow-up "Old Pop in an Oak" was done to the same tune), but "Cotton Eye Joe" remains their only U.S. hit as of 2006. In 1995 Rednex released a macintosh computer game that were called "In Bred With Rednex". Richie |
