Ever wonder what was the story behind this song?

So what is the story behind "Cracklin' Rosie"?
Diamond: "Cracklin' Rosie" was based on a folk story I heard when I was touring in Canada. I was told a story of a group of native Canadians on a reservation there, and on that particular reservation there were many more men than there were women. Those men that were left out in the cold and didn't have girls to spend the weekend with would share it with a bottle of very inexpensive wine called Cracklin' Rose. That bottle of wine became their woman for the weekend, and they actually called that woman Cracklin' Rosie.

When he said "their woman for the weekend" he meant it! Ewwwww

Next time you hear that song you'll think about it:-)

Can't say I ever heard the song.

It's a Neil Diamond song

Yo RDC: Cracklin Rose was a store bought woman... JonR

call it what you want buy drinking a bottle of cheap wine and then having sex the the empty bottle is gross.

The Neil Diamond song is a great song, but my credo is Jackson Brown's "Rosie..."

Which reminds me, that girl that married Rosie O'Donnell in Frisco has a butch haircut, but she's kind of cute. Do you think she has always gone for porkers or could it be the money?

I tried to stop that from posting, but I guess my STOP icon doesn't work well here. I really wish it did. Oh well. Sorry to all of you who I offended.

I'm offended!! I am a pig lover, and the fact that you could compare one of those cute little pink fellows with that woman is quite frankly "tramatic". I need a moment...

Foul mouth rosie put the " man " in lesbiman. JonR

Sigh...

Until yesterday I thought the song was about pork products.

(Those of you from the south will understand.)

I take offense in that comment too!

Everybody here knows that I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Can't we all just get along.

Pass the firewater, will ya! Damn don't bogart the Jesus Blood!

Wheat cracklin' Rosie. Git it? Crackin' yer wheat is another euphemism for boppin' yer baloney. Spankin' the monkey. The old 5 knuckle shuffle. Panderin' to Rosie palm. Tenderizin' the tube steak. Wankin' willy the one eyed wonder worm. Okay. I'll stop now.

Youse was on a roll...

Punchin' the munchkin

Miss Michigan and her 5 sisters

Choking the chicken

Stroker Ace speed shifting
