Legend has it when their label asked them how much they needed to shoot a music video for the song, they said $500, knowing they were going to film it for free at one of the band member's house. Supposedly they spent the whole $500 on drinks and weed and invited some friends over and shot the video 🤣🤣 capitalism baby

It's a song about a gun I always heard. From wikipedia: Black Betty" (Roud 11668) is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material. " was a common term for a bottle of whisky in the borderlands between northern England and southern Scotland; it later became a euphemism in the backcountry areas of the eastern United States. It is also said that 'Black Betty' was a nickname for a certain type of musket, i.e. an old-timey gun with black paint. And in that regard, the phrase “bam-ba-lam”, as recited in the lyrics, is said to be intended to imitate the sound of gunfire.

The 'Black Betty' was an early musket but this song is about a moonshine still which was well used and had turned black. The child they are referring to was a smaller still made from black betty's spare parts. 'damn thing gone blind' refers to a bad batch of shine that caused temporary blindness. (or summin like that).

No live band, but. Back in the '70s as teens we lived in a subdivision but the house sat on about 1.5 acres. A hill & trees wrapped around 2 sides of the property. While my parents were out of town my brother, sister & I had a party. We put speakers on the house roof pointing down to the backyard to blast tunes like this. We told a few friends about it, that's all. That night by about 9 PM the place was swarming with teenagers. Both sides of the street was bumper to bumper parked cars. The pool parking lot across the street was full. I was talking to some people I'd never met & asked them how they found about it. Guy said a dude at the gas station up the street was giving directions. I didn't know anybody that worked at a gas station, much less the one up the street. About midnight the cops show up. Take me aside, wanted to know were my parents were. Uhhhh??? Gives me an hour to clear the place out or else. The next day we had to rake up the beer can tabs in the backyard. Also got a phone call from a lady looking for her daughter. I have no idea how she got our number or knew that something was on at our place that night. I swore we didn't have any daughters hanging around. Try that today & see how far you get. LOL

New sub, Congrats on the little one, Praying for the health and wellbeing of ur precious lil man. I know being chronically ill that it can be extremely stressful. Wish u only the best...This was a great backyard BBQ jam in the 70s...Black betty is a few things here; a flint-lock musket with a black painted stock and in that regard, the phrase “bam-ba-lam, a bottle of whiskey in particular dating as far back as 17th century London, African-American labor chant to add rhythm to the work, and lastly a beautiful black woman. He is smitten by her to the point where he can’t hold it in...Thanx so much, Take care, Blessings

Yes, its origin is a marching cadence song from the revolutionary war. Black Betty refers to a musket and NOT a black lady The song even refers to Betty as a "thing" The "child" is the black betty's replacement. "Bam-A_Lam" is the sound of the musket firing .

The musket would have been a flint-lock musket with a black painted stock. The prison guards or soldiers were 'hugging Black Betty'. And when a updated model of the gun came out, known as 'Brown Bess', with an unpainted wooden stock, it was seen as the 'child' of the flint-lock musket
