"Rebel Shark" Download or CD

$5 USD

Download (or CD) of "Rebel Shark". This original song commemorates the Ole Miss football team and their "land shark" defense. It features me on guitar and vocals. The lyrics are powerful. My favorite verse is: "The tide is rising down in Dixie Land, bringing sharks of a rebel kind" "They're hungry, lean and mako-mean, snap the ball it's feeding time" Chorus: M-I- Hotty-toddy, Hotty-toddy I, Gosh-amighty, Gosh-amighty I-P-P-I Where football teams and their football dreams come to die.

The waters in this area are teaming with sharks and we will no doubt capture a number of sharks for tagging. You will have to pay for your travel to meet us at the dock but we will then provide all that you need on the boat.
