Some songs never get old. The origins of this song may date back to two to three hundred years ago. Black Betty is a nickname for a certain type of musket. So, in the old days, Black Betty's "child " would have been the bullet. The song eventually evolved into a folk tune before being made famous by folk and blues singer Lead Belly in 1939. It was then modernized and by Ram Jam, then reedited and sung by Manfred Mann, Spiderbait, and other modern bands. This was when it became the song we know and love.
I came for this song for NFSU2 memories but now I just remembered I had been listening to the original version since I was just a toddler and I had on a tape cassette
Had an old '76 Camaro that we painted flat black. Named her Betty and would play this song all the time. Listening to it puts me right back in that driver's seat. RIP Betty, you were an awesome car 😫

Something about this song just flips an overdrive switch in my brain and pushes all of my senses up to eleven, like it’s such a hype song that I HAVE to do it justice. Thanks NFSU2
I heard from the Internet of course , that L4D3 it's in the making with the new source 2 engine , sooo...if it's true , maybe you're waiting for HL3 too...soo think like this for HL games...first HL(GOLD SRC enginge) , then HL2(all of them) Source engine(physics ,etc..etc) , now if they're making HL3 ...let your imagination go wild xD xD xD
This is a revolutionary war hymn. He's singing about his rifle. Black Betty. The wild "child" is a musket ball firing inaccurately before the days of rifling a barrel. She's always reliable, and ready. She's the ol rocksteady.
Been visiting this particular video on a steady base for the last four years for my occasional, but much needed, dose of PURE BADASS!!! Keep on rockin'!!!
WOW! I'm worn out just from the riffs'! They have blown the original way the FUCK out of the water, just perfect speed and voice connection! Have fun:)
Ah the good old booze running days, big engine in the front, big rear compartment for smuggling the illegal alcohol whilst getting chased from the cops, which eventually evolved into a sport called stock car racing. NASCAR was born.
it was originally made by Ram Jam in like the 70s. it's their song, and this is a spin off, in like a memorial to Ram Jam. It's not necessarily a remix, just a tribute.
@@ShotgunSurge0n058 no the person who originally wrote and performed this song ws a blues singer named Leadbelly in 1939 he also wrote another popular song made popular by the Animals called House of the Rising Sun
I've just listened to Ram Jam, Leadbelly, a prison chain gang, and now Spiderbait doing this song. Each one awesome in its own particular way. There is no 'better"; just different, all good.
I remember 4 buzzed chicks wanting to dance on the bar at the pub when they played this. Damn that a as awesome, Kim, Lisa, Becky, and Alicia. I won't for get that night, cheers girls... Wildman
Can't tell you how many red lights cameras caught me with this song and so many that didn't. This song brings back memories of dirt roads, red and blue flashing and a car that didn't belong to me. Year 31 of my life was wild
After Leadbelly was born he broke the mold, forged it into his soul and destroyed any memory of it because there hasn't been another one like him since! Not even close.
I've heard 3 different versions of this song, and I love all three equally. They all offer something unique to each version

did you just edit the comment like 5 mins ago?
I am so glad you explained this song. All along I have been thinking it was about a promiscuous black woman with a blind child.
philackey
I did too. Thanks for the info carcharodon21.
Thanks for letting everyone know ur a sad little nerd

I came for this song for NFSU2 memories but now I just remembered I had been listening to the original version since I was just a toddler and I had on a tape cassette
This song worked so well for the Mustang and GTO in the game, like they knew there were some muscleheads in the crowd
Remember driving on the highways and seeing the planes going in and out 🥲
One of the few re-makes of classic rock that really worked.I like this one every bit as much as Ram Jam.
this song makes me drive my car like I stole it
+starks758 Really Funny LOL
I would actually pwn SJW's to this song.
Tim Tam's see this thumb 👍🏻 shove it up your ass you Yankee

this song adds 150 hp to your car
Dang, that's more than what Eurobeat can do. Very impressive.
Monk3ypilot 😂
Monk3ypilot good 1
Monk3ypilot and about 70 pounds of boost
So, my car would then have 155
I am sorry Ram Jam.
This is the superior version.
IT IS !
Same. It's rare you get a cover that beats the original.
@@scottwinfrey8250 i recommend slaughtered on set's version of olivers army, way better than the original
imo the extended ram jam one is better than the original one
I just listened to the original after hearing this one. You guys are right! I love this version WAY MORE!!!!!
@@scottwinfrey8250 ram jam is not the original one
So many versions of this standard blues song. This is probably the best version out there. Not bad for a song that dates to about 1827.
Had an old '76 Camaro that we painted flat black. Named her Betty and would play this song all the time. Listening to it puts me right back in that driver's seat. RIP Betty, you were an awesome car 😫
Fans of Ram Jam, and I am one, dig their original. But this one just rocks. These Aussies give it a brutal makeover, and it's dynamite.
Hell yes!

WOW! I'm worn out just from the riffs'! They have blown the original way the FUCK out of the water, just perfect speed and voice connection! Have fun:)
Take me back when I use to listen to the hit from the rock radio in the car. Sweet memories. #IAmTheNight
This always makes me drive better when I play it ON ANY RACING GAME.
This song just made it impossible not to speed in Need for Speed Underground 2....
Woahhh blackbetty bambalam!
Best song to put on during a fight

Hered this song on need for speed underground 2!❤❤
Ah the good old booze running days, big engine in the front, big rear compartment for smuggling the illegal alcohol whilst getting chased from the cops, which eventually evolved into a sport called stock car racing.

This is a great version of the song. Thanks.
Better than the Original !
I agree
I actully had to stop the car in NFSUG2 to listen to this song XD
one of the greats
its funny to think that this is Australian

Potato King this song dates back to 1890 and was originally done by Leadbelly. And yes I mean 1890 not 1990.
It was actually 1939

bizarrely enjoyable
