FIRST TIME HEARING | Alan Jackson - Chattahoochee REACTION!

[@Rosiepooh75]

Your face when you realized he said "hotter than a hoochie coocchie" is PRICELESS! Loved this reaction so much! Alan has so many great songs - you should really check more out!

[@michellemccloy823]

I know! His look was all like "He did NOT just say that!"

[@JavaJane87]

I saw the title and I said his face is going to be priceless!

[@jaywerner8415]

That silent stare at a camera is priceless, his brain just be like "Did he really just say that?" a few minutes of processing later "Nevermind lets move on"

[@drtwitty2009]

OMG I loved his reaction lol

[@michellejackson6679]

His face on Hoochie coochie.. lmao.

[@Amber184]

Hoochie Coochie is a catch-all term to describe several sexually provocative belly dance-like dances from the mid-to late 1800s. Chattahoochee is a river that's near Alabama and Georgia.

[@markmacdonald8512]

Amber, Correct, Elvis say's it also in a song he did in his Roustabout movie that was called 'Little Egypt". There are video's of it on KZbin.

[@amystreet5402]

I would have to disagree with that phrase being about Bellydance. Charo was the hoochi coochi girl and she was Latin, the only Kuchie associated with Bellydance is tribal antique afghan jewelry

[@cbobwhite5768]

If you reference early African-American blues music, it takes on a whole DIFFERENT connotation.

[@deannatreat6819]

@@amystreet5402 Go look up just the phrase "Hoochie Coochie" and then come back and say that phrase has nothing to with belly dancing.

[@amystreet5402]

@@deannatreat6819 That is possibly the "American" terminology when "Bellydance" Middle Eastern Folk dance was Americanized by reproducing it and making it overtly sexual . true historical bellydance was not sexual look up Ghawazee Khaeelgy Saiidi Haggalla, Tunisian Kalbelyas Rajasthan . and make sure to look it up before the 1920's

The Chattahoochee is a big river in Georgia. It runs through Atlanta, among other cities and towns. As for hoochie coochie - hey, YOU try finding something to rhyme with Chattahoochee ;-D

[@jaywerner8415]

Hmmm True.

[@jlyo1991]

A hoochie is a ho. A coochie is a lady part. That line was unintentionally hilarious with that in mind.

[@jaketaylor3358]

[@robertsmalls3513]

It goes all the way down to Florida and there’s a town called Chattahootchee in Florida near the border

[@marcjoseph661]

A hoochie coochie is a dance I believe

[@darrinlindsey]

Hoochie Coochie originally meant any type of seductive or sexual movement in dance. Belly dancers were said to "hoochie coochie." Charo, who was a sex symbol in the 70s and 80s, used the term in her act. "Coochie" is, and always has been, what you were implying.

[@jaywerner8415]

I thought so. Nice history lession.

What else would rhyme with Chattahoochee? This song is about growing up summer fun.

[@Illiandyandra]

In GA Vernacular, a Hootchie Coochie is a backwoods beer/dance hall. They often got busted/closed for operating without a liquor license. (Most had their own moonshine recipes too) Chattahoochee River is a HUGE river that vivisects north GA.

[@jansummerford1050]

This song is an older song but we LOVE Alan Jackson here in Georgia

[@Gutslinger]

Your reaction to that "hoochie coochie" line had me laughing. People have been wondering and questioning the meaning of that line for years. 😆

[@amandafox8603]

LMAO Your face as he said "Hoochie Coochie" It was great. Had a good laugh.

[@sandcastle6452]

I live pretty close to the Chattahoochee River and I always heard hoochie coocchie was referring to a woman's private area. So I always thought the song was implying women on the Chattahoochee River was hotter than the summer heat in GA. Sometimes in the summer it gets over 100 degrees.

[@laynecox3992]

In the 50s through early 70s, dureing the State Fairs and shows, there was usually a girly show. The women dressed skimpy and danced and gyrated in the tent. Adults only... Called a Hootchie Cootchie. Hot tent, masses of people and women on stage dancing.

[@Nicole_Jewell]

Hoochie-coochie is slang for a sexy dance performance similar to a belly dance. And yes Alan was wearing a pair of jeans with his Cowboys shirt towards the end of the video they are a light blue color.

[@deniserhodes2655]

I think it's really funny you would think he didn't have pants on at the end and find it funny he was on ski's with blue jeans on. 😆

[@TorchMeetsWorld]

Got so caught up in "Hootchie Cootchie" that you didnt even comment on the part where she didnt consent and he didnt pressure..... they were getting frisky and he was like "alright!" But she was like "yeah im not sure about this" so hes like... "Aight" and he took her home then went and got food.....

CHATTAHOOCHEE!! I'm from south Alabama and have been raised on the CHATTAHOOCHEE, it's a river, runs thru our lakes here and soooo many memories living on the water!

[@Kodi093]

He found out about country's universal appeal when he and a friend, Jim McBride, wrote "Chattahoochee," about growing up by a river that ran through Jackson's boyhood Georgia town. "I thought the song was too Southern, but everybody around the country said they liked the song. They all had their own Chattahoochee River somewhere." Asked how the song was written, he explains, "I always thought that Chattahoochee River had a neat title to it. It would be a good title to write a song around. So one day, Jim (McBride) just walked in and said, 'Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee, it gets hotter than a hoochie-coochie.' And I said, 'Let's write it, man.' So we wrote the rest of the song. "It's about me thinking back to when I was a teen-ager and riding around the Dairy Queen and not knowing what life was about and not caring a whole lot. And there's a little place that we used to go near the river. It's called Hilly's Mill. We used to hang out there. Everybody's got a place like that growing up."

It's actually a drunk and belly dancer

[@reginaminton1135]

Yes those were pants on in that part of the song. Just a light colored pair. He wasn't being that bad. :) The Chattahoochee is a river.in Alabama/Georgia. The Hoochi Coochi is a reference to a sexy belly dance. I don't know I just looked it up on Wikipedia. LOL!! Thanks to the reaction.

[@brittanythomas8961]

This came out when I was like 4. I told my mom I was gonna marry him. I met him a few years ago (I was 28) and told him the story. He laughed and introduced me to his wife.

[@LWiens]

The Chattahoochee River runs through Atlanta, GA. “Hootchie Coochie” is a suggestive type of belly dance (look up Charo...she’s best known for the Hootchie Cootchie”). The song is him reflecting on growing up in Georgia where it gets VERY HOT in the summertime, and hanging out with his friends.

I mean it was used to describe dirty dancing or provocative dancing. But the literal meaning does involve what your thinking. It is a mix of drunk dancing of a woman: specifically that very part of her your thinking of. My grandma use to say the term to describe my aunts antics.

[@frankwhitmire3401]

There is a song in the movie Roustabout , a Elvis movie and he sings a song titled Little Eva , she is a belly dancer and in one of the lines of the song it says she did the hoochie coochie

[@patwalker5133]

There was a famous/sexy performer in the 70's named CHARO who was born in Murcia Spain. Her catch phrase was Cuchi Cuchi. She use to do this wiggle and say Cuchi Chuchi. She said she had a dog that she called Cuchillo (Cuchi for short) that because of a back problem instead of wiggling side to side when he was happy, his back went back and forth. So she copied it and always said Cuchi Cuchi as a thank you to her dog for making her rich/famous as it became her trade mark.

[@hamrad645]

[@katm4335]

Hoochie Coochie was a dance party phrase back in the day, 1993. And Alan Jackson was one of the most purest, shyest Country Music Artist there ever were. You won't find a single song of his with anything close to a curse word or slur or anything overtly sexual. He's totally not like that. One of his bigger Albums was an album of Gospel Songs. So he would never use vulgar terminology in a song...he's just not that kind of man. He's from Georgia and spent a lot of time on the Chattahoochee River.

[@cmoeller3]

Yet he’s not above sexual euphemisms!!

[@christophermichael6844]

Basically, the "never knew how much that muddy water meant to me" is apparently a hint to the meaning of "hotter than a hoochie coochie" since Muddy Waters had a song titled "Hoochie Coochie Man". Alan was referencing that song, which was talking about a 19th century dance, and using what was (at his time) slang for alcohol and sex. So yes. It means more or less exactly what you thought.

[@ajclements4627]

The hoochie coochie is a catch-all term to describe several sexually provocative belly dance-like dances from the mid-to late 1800s. Like a lot of words, the meaning has changed over time.

Ok Billy. Back in the day these tent entertaining troops would travel town to town and set up a tent show. Like a variety show kind of thing. Many included dancing girls in something like grass skirts or whatever. They were known as Hootchie Kootchie dancers. If you look back a bit in the video you will see Alan wearing his cowboys jersey and some jeans with big tears in them. That's what he was wearing when you thought he was not wearing pants. The jersey came down to the large holes and it looked like he wasn't wearing any. Stay safe and well.

[@Kodi093]

And what you just saw was more swing in the video. But if you're talking about the hootchy-kootchy it's actually drunk and belly dancer.. the word comes from then late 1900s.. the Chattahoochee is actually a very well-known river borders Alabama and Georgia and down to Florida.
