İm mad about that song 

DoctorBoogie

«Теннесси» Эрни Форд в 1955-м сделал «Sixteen Tons» знаменитой. Он же ее спустя десять лет и похоронил, записав «обновленную», так называемую Hipper («тазобедренную»), или Go-Go версию. Вот он здесь, в субботней программе «Hollywood Palace», с деффками отжигает, игриво виляя тазобедренным суставом. Что вынудило Эрни встать на этот скользкий путь? Эрни, который всю жизнь пел псалмы и христианские гимны? Как если бы, к примеру, Кобзон вдруг решил «Где-то далеко...» спеть в духе «Хава Нагила», — задорно и с подтанцовками.Выглядит форменным издевательством над смыслом. А ведь текст очень серьезен, и даже трагичен, и не предполагает такого откровенного глумления над ним. Ведь «Sixteen Tons», по сути, — песня довольно мрачная в своей безысходности, — о суровом «гномике» из Кентукки, обреченном всю жизнь рубить уголёк в вечном сумраке, пока не сдохнет, — от «черной» чахотки (Black Lung) или под завалом. Весьма близкий по смыслу «неполиткорректный» перевод:В день, когда родился, тьма висела кругом.В руки, блин, лопату — и в шахту бегом.Шестнадцать тонн — моя норма, грузи, не ссы!День ползёт за днём, словно вши в трусы.Видишь, я иду? Отступи на шаг!Все давно мертвы, кто не сделал так.Тот кулак чугунный, этот — вовсе стальной,Любому череп раскрою, кто пошутит со мной.Шестнадцать тонн — моя норма, хоть плачь, хоть пой!Я забил на солнце, мой дом — забой.Апостол Петр, не зови, мне не место в раю —Грёбаная шахта съела душу мою..

Wonder if Ernie stuck his weiner in any of those chicks? In the butt.

He did actually record this version on to a 7", which is what he is miming to. My dad had it, gave it to me and someone stole it from my record box. I see a lot of people don't much like this, but it is a real piece of its time, very bizarre and I have loved it since I was a kid. Luckily I kept a digital copy of the record, but would love to track it down again. There is also a similar reversion of Shake Rattle and Roll by Big Joe Turner, which I love to bits.

Please ask yourself how much you are worth. Then look around you and realize that you are very much part of the most underpaid workforce since the days of the Company Store.Tennessee Ernie Ford - 16 Tons (Go-Go Version)

Look at those sluts in those too short skirts.

Check out Jeff Beck and Billy Gibbons' version. It has a huge video of Ernie lip syncing.

I remember when he recorded that . I was 7. I just got through educating a snot nosed kid what will happen if his generation doesn't start thinking in self sufficiency mode instead of how they are now. I told him if they didn't get their heads on right that they would all be working for a multi national corporation like Samsung, Toyota, or worse. He came back with "what's wrong with working for Samsung?" I had to try and bring my 65 years down where a 17 year old would understand it. I used "me" for the corporation and explained what it would be like living in an economic vacuum. I finally got him to understand that if everyone worked for me, that I could pay them whatever I wanted. I would therefore own the stores, and basically their life. I thought about this song and told him to listen to it. It's the first time I've heard it in years. I forgot how powerful Ernie Ford's voice was. It's like you are hearing something stronger than man.

A happy birthday to :Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-1991) : singer and TV presenter, who had a 1955 US No.1 & 1956 UK No.1 single with ‘Sixteen Tons’. It was Capitol Records’ first No.1 of the rock era. Ford died on October 17th 1991.Tennessee Ernie Ford - 16 Tons (1956) "Sixteen Tons" is a song about the life of a coal miner, first recorded in 1946 by American country singer Merle Travis and released on his box set album Folk Songs of the Hills the following year. A 1955 version recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford reached number one in the Billboard charts, while another version by Frankie Laine was released only in Western Europe, where it gave Ford's version competition.While the song is usually attributed to Merle Travis, to whom it is credited on his 1946 recording, George S. Davis, a folk singer and songwriter who had been a Kentucky coal miner, claimed on a 1966 recording for Folkways Records to have written the song as "Nine-to-ten tons" in the 1930s. Davis' recording of his version of the song appears on the albums George Davis: When Kentucky Had No Union Men and Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian.According to Travis, the line from the chorus, "another day older and deeper in debt", was a phrase often used by his father, a coal miner himself. This and the line, "I owe my soul to the company store", is a reference to the truck system and to debt bondage. Under this scrip system, workers were not paid cash; rather they were paid with non-transferable credit vouchers which could be exchanged only for goods sold at the company store. This made it impossible for workers to store up cash savings. Workers also usually lived in company-owned dormitories or houses, the rent for which was automatically deducted from their pay. In the United States the truck system and associated debt bondage persisted until the strikes of the newly formed United Mine Workers and affiliated unions forced an end to such practices.
