I was working today and from the other room I hear Rhi's computer start playing the theme song from the original "Smoky and the Bandit" movie, Jerry Reed's song "East Bound and Down"

This is not exactly her normal fare, so I went to see what was going on.

Apparently, she had come across a link to it and decided, "What the hell?" and played it... which led to a discussion of, "I wonder what sort of fan-vids you could make for that song?"

I really should have thought of her suggestion of "The Fast and the Furious" sooner... but when I suggested "Firefly," I think I broke her brain. LOL

So, does anybody know if this has been done? I don't vid, but it seems like a reasonably straight-forward match-up, and if anyone has done it I'd like to see it.

Or if it hasn't been done and somebody here is a vidder who would like to take it on, let me know what sort of fannish trade you'd like and we can talk!

Thanks!

Saw a Fast And Furious vid for it before. the genre-crossing broke my brain and I could not finish it. (I can do latin or rap or edgy urban for FaF, but not country).

Firefly would be HILARIOUS, and I tend to be okay with Country vids for it.

Hey, I like that song! I just rarely remember it! (I need to do a 'Classic '70s songs and country I can stand*' playlist, don't I?)

That would be a hilarious vid, yes!

I cannot vid but would pay all sorts of fannish things to see/hear that mash-up. Genius!

OMG.

Fast and the Furious to East Bound & Down would be HILARIOUS.

And the Firefly idea is equally cracktackular.
