- "Saturday Night Special" is a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It is the opening track on their 1975 album Nuthin' Fancy. The song addresses the issue of gun control.
-
Its lyrics refer to the cheap handguns popularly associated with the term Saturday night special, and associates them with impulsive violence. Each of the three verses presents a different example: a man being shot by a home intruder, or shooting a cheating man in bed with his wife; a poker player killing his friend after accusing him of cheating, and accidentally shooting oneself while intoxicated. Notably, it argues that they "ain't good for nothin' / But put a man six feet in a hole." Ronnie Van Zant once said in a radio interview that "we should sink them all to the bottom of the sea" (in reference to guns). He said that he was a gun owner and that he had an antique gun over his fireplace. When asked if he had ever been shot he did state that he shot himself accidentally, but didn't elaborate on it further.

Lynyrd Skynyrd never sounded so good.
Except for it was sped up and Ronnie's voice was higher
Nothing more badass than stealing your girl's car and going joyriding while playing Lynyrd Skynyrd's Mr Saturday Night Special
I wasn’t raised in the 70s but I’ll bet every guy in the theater who saw this movie thought that Burt Reynolds was a man’s man
You got that right
THAT'S SOME BIG DICK SHIT RIGHT THERE, BABY BOY!!! (Love it!)
I was, and we did.
I always enjoyed that part of movie. Such a cool guy. Next part of scene is great when cops arrest him in bar and he makes fun of the short guy. The great thing about Burt Reynolds is he always hired the same guys as much as he could. He was loyal. He made a ton of cool guy movies back in the day before he got into comedy roles.
Badass reminds me of my pop
God bless pop
Love burt and Skynyrd...
So badass!
Great movie, great scene.
