Maybe He Was Singing About Manimal

They must've heard we had moonshine. 

In my defense, I never thought the Duke Boys had gills.

But in the Dukes of Hazzard theme song, Waylon Jennings sings about the Good Ol' Boys "straight'nin' the curves...flatt'nin' the hills..." And for a not inconsiderable period of time, I mis-heard that line as "flapping their gills."

Picture 10-year-old me, wondering if "flapping their gills" was down-home country slang for "talking tough."
