Hey, I watched six pack a little while ago and loved it, but i can't find anything about that song. The one the kids were singing about Tenessee while they were going to Tenessee. Does anyone know the words or a place i can find them. Thanks

I loved that song in the film. That song made the movie even better. It's
an on the road, growing up film. Just amazing !
I was actually in the movie. Played Little Harry....it's true..no reason to lie. Song was "Rocky Top" in the trailer and has been covered multiple times. I know even Phish does a cover. I think "The Band" might have done original version but could be wrong.
Hope that helps.
The hit of "Rocky Top" was first recorded by The Osborne Brothers in 1967, the song was a top 40 hit on the country music charts in early 1968. It became a Tennessee state song in 1982.
shareLittle Harry, how you doin?
shareThe bluegrass classic, "Rocky Top", by Boudleaux (pronounced "BOOD-low") and Felice Bryant, was written in about ten minutes according to the story I've heard. The couple also wrote a bunch of hits for the Everly Brothers, including "Bye Bye, Love", "Wake Up, Little Susie", "All I Have To Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog" and "Love Hurts", a country love song until Nazereth made it a bigger hit in the 70s.
shareBeing a Florida Gators fan, I HATE that song. Watch any University of Tennessee sporting event and you'll see why. It's like their marching band doesn't know any other songs. But I still like this film. Have ever since the first time I saw it on HBO back in '83.
Made you look!
