Hillbilly Fever
Hillbilly Fever Unleashed: A Musical Journey Through Love, Life, and Laughter
Lyrics
When you walk up to a jukebox and you slip a nickel in
Inserting a nickel into a jukebox to play a song
You can bet your bottom dollar when the record starts to spin
Confidence that something enjoyable will happen when the record starts playing
You'll hear a fiddle and a guitar with a honky tonkin' sound
Expectation of hearing a fiddle and guitar playing honky-tonk music
It's that hillbilly fever that's spreadin' all around
Refers to the infectious and widespread influence of hillbilly music
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Confirmation of hillbilly fever circulating
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
Feeling down due to the influence of traditional mountain music
It's got me robbin' castles, throwin' rice and slippin' around
Engaging in unconventional activities influenced by hillbilly fever
Hillbilly fever's got me down
Reiteration of feeling down due to hillbilly fever
When you get that jumpy feelin' and you don't know what is wrong
Experiencing unease without knowing the cause
Don't you worry 'bout bother there's a brand new mountain song
Assurance that a new mountain song will alleviate the uneasy feeling
That's got the whole durn country rockin' with that big gavel beat
Describing the energetic and rhythmic nature of the new mountain song
It's that hillbilly breakdown that shakes you off-a your feet
The intense and lively breakdown of hillbilly music that excites and surprises
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Reaffirmation of the presence of hillbilly fever
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
Continued feeling of being down due to mountain music
I spent a Sunday down in Tennessee and here's what I found
Personal experience of spending time in Tennessee and encountering hillbilly fever
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Confirmation of the prevalence of hillbilly fever
When that love bug starts around you and you don't know you been stung
Metaphorical reference to falling in love without realizing it
Then you go and see a doctor and he says, "Poke out your tongue"
Seeking medical advice after experiencing love symptoms
And he looks into that canyon, tells you, "Brother I got news
Metaphorical description of the doctor examining the person's feelings
You're the victim of sweet daddy and you got the lovesick blues"
Diagnosis of being lovesick due to the influence of hillbilly fever
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Reiteration of hillbilly fever's influence
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
Persistent feeling of being down attributed to mountain music
I stopped in Chattanooga, got a shine and I heard this sound
Personal experience of hearing hillbilly music in Chattanooga
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Confirmation of hillbilly fever's prevalence in Chattanooga
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Final confirmation of the continued presence of hillbilly fever
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
Reiteration of feeling down due to mountain music
I'm gonna one-foot, two-foot, sweet-foot, drag then I hold it down
Expressing the urge to dance in a distinctive hillbilly style
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Final affirmation of hillbilly fever's enduring influence
