MUSIC FROM SPACE: Primus - THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA

A bumpkin musical prodigy named Johnny has a stop-motion fiddle battle against Satan himself in Primus' dork-rock cover of the Charlie Daniels country epic. This 1996 redneck nightmare is an impressive, early animation effort from Mike Johnson, who would later co-direct The Corpse Bride with Tim Burton.
