friday hat trick part 3: the avett brothers - i killed sally's lover


great thumbnail picture for the video, right? :|  it's the only "album" version i could find on youtube.  oh well.

the finale (or finally, maybe, for some of you) of today's hat trick is an awesome avett bros' song i've been listening to a lot lately, called "i killed sally's lover."  like all good country music, it has a great (horrible) story at its center

country music has a funny way of addressing horrible topics in a happy-go-lucky way.  this song is about murder, and i love it.  how weird is that?

"somebody get my shotgun, somebody get my blade/sally been layin' with another man, he's sleepin' in my place!"

YEE HAW!

enjoy,

oh my gosh, that was such a country song! i agree with jess and susie...i thought of earl. as far as this song being about murder, i found myself slapping my leg and dancin'. it's hard to be anything but happy-go-lucky when you're listening to that kind of banjo playing!
