My friend Kathi Purvis sent me a link to this wonderful, and quite accurate, song about barbecue. Yeah, it was part of an Alka-Seltzer ad campaign from last summer, but it’s still cool. I think I’ll have Rhett and Link, the front men for this song, come to the next pig pickin’ I do, as they are from North Carolina.

That was classic, and oh so true…

Thanks for posting our video, Dean! We’re actually the “front men” AND the behind the scenes men too–we wrote the song and made the video ourselves. Alka-Seltzer just sponsored it.
We’ll have to take you up on that offer of your next pig pickin’. Give us a holler! We’re just down the road in Fuquay-Varina!

Disappointed my home state was left out. Maybe they just couldn’t rhyme with “possum” or “roadkill”.

Dean, now that we know Rhett & Link are just down in Fuquay Varina, you are morally obligated to host another pig pickin’ just so you can invite them
Let’s not forget their other immortal classic: the Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles song

“The waffle leads the chicken into the stomach like a sherpa.”
