TnC House Classics presents : Swamp Thing by The Grid


When housemusic became populair, everybody tried to find a next gimmick to make easy money . So for a short period of time country music with a housebeat was the top, with hits like  "Cotton Eye Joe" and "Swamp Thing". But The Grid had already several hits on its list and this was just one ot them.

 When I listen to it now, it seams too repeat itself too often and the duration should be half of what it is now. 
Still the banjo riff is catchy and thats the best part of the song, the rest of it is more filling , like the bridge part in "Acid Folk". 

"Swamp Thing"is an exellent song to mashup I would say (for maybe an hour ???)

PS: The followup of "Swamp Thing" was a re-release of "Texas Cowboys", a piece of crap. The country theme is there, it  "Swap Thing" with the banjo replaced by a mouth-organ and the DJ replaced by a bad singer, argh !!!
