Marshall Tucker Band

Band Name Origins:

The guys who were the original Marshall Tucker Band were from a mill village and their music bothered near by residents so they found an old abandoned warehouse out in the country (at least it was the boondocks back then). One day while taking a break, they found a key with the name Marshall Tucker on it and they decided to call the band that since they did not have a name and had been searching for a name. They did not know the history of the name at that point. Marshall Tucker (the man) is alive and well today and he was a blind piano tuner from Spartanburg and that had been his warehouse. The man Marshall Tucker lives in Columbia, SC today. Once the band found out the story and who the name belonged to, they made a trip to Columbia to meet the man. I know this to be true because I am from Spartanburg and Marshall Tucker (the man) was an old family friend and the drummer for the band was a close relative of one of my boys. This is the real true story! Submitted by: Martha
One of the salesmen at the car dealership I work at told me that the band saw the name Marshall Tucker on a real estate sign...and the rest is history. Submitted by: Liz

"Heard it in a Love Song"

Misheard Lyrics:

Purty little love song

Original Lyrics:

Heard it in a love song

Story about this misheard lyric by: Kaz Vorpal

I simply have always thought that the singer, with his thick, probably somewhat affected southern accent (it's less strong in his other songs), was singing "pretty little love song", but it was coming out "purty little love song". A song about a pretty song. I just now was looking to see if I knew any songs by Marshall Tucker Band. I knew two others, but this only only seems vaguely, strangely familiar. So I was listening to it, and realized suddenly that it was "Purty Little Love Song", and that for forty-something years I'd had the name wrong.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Fire On The Mountain"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Now my widow is grieving at my grave...

Why They're Nonsensical:

That would mean the singer is dead - but if he's dead, how can he still be singing?

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Can't You See"

The Lyrics:

I'm gonna take a freight train, down at the station, I don't care where it goes. Gonna climb me a mountain, the highest mountain, Lord, gonna jump off, nobody gonna know.

Why:

This song is about getting dumped. It has a major key and you can sing along to it, but it's a real sad song.
