MP3 of the Day

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was released on this day in 1974. The song was a response to, "Southern Man" written by Neil Young, which was critical of social conditions in the South. Ironically, Lynyrd Skynyrd were not from Alabama, but rather Jacksonville, Florida. But I guess "Sweet home Jacksonville, Florida" didn't have the same ring to it. We're not posting this Skynyrd Alabama anthem, instead we have THE BANGS covering the 1977 Cheap Trick classic Southern Girls. Happy Friday!
