Yeah, i knew squeal and panties were not songs. I was j/k.
I didn’t know about the following:
He portrayed a banjo-playing “local” in the film’s famous “dueling banjos” scene. Boorman felt that Redden’s skinny frame, large head, and almond-shaped eyes made him the natural choice to play the part of an “inbred from the back woods.” Because Redden could not play the banjo, he wore a special shirt that allowed a real banjo player to hide behind him. The scene was then shot with carefully chosen camera angles to conceal the player, whose arms were slipped around Redden’s waist to play the tune.[2] The hidden banjo player was shown playing in the bar-fingered “clawhammer” style, while the banjo heard on the soundtrack was played in three-finger “Earl Scruggs” style, using finger picks.
when i was stationed in germany '89-'92 me and a couple of the guys hung out with some german kids, from 16-20 years old (we were 19-21 so it wasn’t that bad) who had a club house we used to drink at. after desert storm when we were on half days we went on a field trip with some of them on a tour of the hitler museum. i was hitting on the teacher and talking to her in german and then i said “ich bin amerikaner soldat”, and she couldn’t hardly believe it until we started speaking english. she thought we were older cousins. one of my coolest days in germany.
