In europe the devil comes to town and makes a deal and youre completely fucked over like Faust, but only cause you think you've doomed yourself really
In the new world, the devil comes to town and you can beat him in a fiddle contest or by eating the last of the soul donut but you tricked him in the devils' court because you gave your soul to your wife
Dunno what that means
The European mind cannot comprehend that any of our backwoods jug-hooters are so steeped in musical tradition and possessed of such virtuosity that even a naive lad may meet Satan's own challenge in a violin duel. Johnny's sole moment of hesitation in wagering his very mortal soul was the thought that it may be sinful to accept the devil's bet.
P.S. Before fiddlin' against the devil, Johnny boasts that he is the best that has ever been and that Satan will regret his challenge. This braggadocious act overturns thousands of years of Western understanding of hubris as fatal flaw going all the way back to ancient Greece.
this speaks to the american brainpan somehow, i just know it
If Mephistopheles made a Faustian bargain for my soul in exchange for unlimited knowledge and all the pleasure in the world, I would win and have unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasure without consequence. Easy. Wouldn't even need unlimited knowledge to begin with.
"i honestly thought you were gonna ask for more than that"
A fiddle made of gold would sound terrible anyway.
is it gold plated or solid gold?
Either way risking eternal torture for some short term economic gain seems like a bad bet even if I can shred on the fiddle
I think I had a youth group counselor that pointed out the devil probably took his soul anyway, simply for gambling with it.
I'd probably just ask if he wants to go down to the bar for a couple pints. Maybe shoot some pool, a few low stakes wagers you know. Not for my whole ass soul ( I would actually sell my soul to be born with the right parts I got shafted in the birth lottery).
Bro your flautato is fire, you wouldn't even need to beat that scrawny imps lil ass, your violin technique would shred him in seconds big dawg
If the devil challenged me to a fuckin' fiddle duel I wouldn't do it. I'd kickchop him in the neck, the most forbidden move in all of karate. You don't fuckin challenge me to any kind of duel unless you're prepared to get kicked+chopped.
Bro if the devil heard a fuckin arpeggio from your fiddle he'd shit his pants dude. I bet you could fouetté all over his ass while you're kicking it.
The devil went down ON georgia
Idk, at this rate, might as well sell my soul for all oil refineries to spontaneously combust
Even if it was an arson duel I would win. I would jump over all of the fences if they are not big.
Why wait? Go and chase him out of earth now. Just make sure to put on an iron shirt first.
I learned combat from Grand Theft Auto while listening to this.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Oh yeah? Well I'm a Navy Seal, and I'd beat you up beating that guy up.
(This could've been a good badpost, but now it's just a midpost)
I might just see if I can get that German dude's deal and then we just go out drinking and going to a Witches' orgy.
also.. he called god a bitch after he won.
"I done told you once you son of a bitch, I the best that's ever been."
wait, what is the paternal and maternal order amongst the angels fallen or otherwise?
Who is Satan's mom and is she, in fact, a bitch?
Maybe Johnny understood the order of things and correctly assumed god fucked a female dog to have the devil.
I liked the devil's play style better anyway. had more ...soul. lol I'll see myself out.
