Lyrics:
Just for the record let's get the story straight
Me and Uncle Tom were fishin' it was gettin' pretty late
Out on a cypress limb above the wishin' well
Where they say it got no bottom say it take you down to Hell
Over in the bushes and off to the right
Two men talking in the pale moonlight
Sherriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge
Haulin' two limp bodies down to the Waters' Edge
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell
They didn't see me and Tom in the tree
Neither one believin' what the other could see
Tossed in the bodies let em sink on down
to the bottom of the well where they'd never be found
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin
I know who put the bodies in the wishing well

Wayne Garand the singer hated the song. Was supposed to be a fill song. To take a spot on album

[@beachgirl4583]

cm_xxvi, It wasn’t supposed to be on the album. The album was finished, and named after this song. The record label told Jani they wanted a catchy hit, so he wrote this in 15 minutes (or so). The label screwed him, promoted this song as the first single, and renamed the album, without informing the band.

Exactly right. Still gives me goosebumps. Every time.

They hated cherry pie out of respect for Jani I don't listen to it this song represents the band 100 times better 👌

[@dynamicphotography_]

Totally agree.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Cherry Pie would have made a good b-side song but yeah it's been overplayed to hell and back by every classic rock station. i hate it now too. it's just like a drunk's bar karaoke song, it's not really all that fun to rock out to.

[@Andrew_NJ]

This song was too heavy for radio play, it needed more work in the studio but it was close it just needed the heavy riffs dialed down, they are generic and too loud for no reason, a good lead guitarist would have made the whole song blend much better. The intro and chorus are wasted in between sloppy guitar work. The first time I listened to this I had high hopes until the lead guitar blasted out of no where with a generic overly loud guitar riff that does not fit the song and ruined the transition. It recovers in the chorus but that cannot redeem the song. Unfortunately the record label was right about this.

[@cleech74]

Always enjoyed that acoustic opening of this song. To me, it showed some great versatility in their song writing. Tried to learn it on guitar as a teenager, but it was a bit more difficult than my amateur skills were able to do. I recently saw a video from a guy I went to high school with, taken the year we graduated, in 1992. It was recorded that summer, and was him playing the Hendrix tune Villanova Junction, featured on the Woodstock album. Seeing that reminded me of how much I would’ve had to put in if I wanted to play this acoustic open. Mf’er was playing Hendrix, making it look easy!

There Best Song Hands Down! This Should have been bigger then Cherry PIe!

[@IanPeon]

+michael tabor The average American would have to be able to think and care about stuff in order for that to happen, and the powers that be know it's just easier to cram cherry pie down their throats. They'll swallow it with pleasure and then thank them for it.

[@moviegirl6677]

+scott gorham In this particular case though, the record label does deserve some of the blame for "Cherry Pie." This album was recorded and mixed, and was called "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It just had to be pressed and distributed. The record label came to Jani and said that the album needed a commercial hook song, which he protested, but the label said the album couldn't be released without it. He went home that night and wrote "Cherry Pie" and the name of the album was changed. He has always regretted writing the song and hates that it is the song that it is associated with Warrant. On the other hand you are correct about music buyers not demanding better quality music. If buyers weren't sucked in by gimmicky songs then the labels wouldn't feel the need to push them. It is a vicious circle, and that ends up pushing bands to flee to independent labels (which often don't have the big money needed for promotion) or for bands to start their own labels (which has been successful for some and not for others). I worked for an independent label distributor and we sold many artists who were then picked up by major labels. And while their sales got bigger, and they got much richer, the quality of the music often suffered and they lost their ability to have creative control. Some artists deal with it, and others don't.

[@moviegirl6677]

***** There's an interview on here with Jani Lane where he explains the story behind "Cherry Pie" and how the record label pressured him into writing it and filming the video and then wouldn't release the album unless it was the lead single and the name of the album. It's hard to fight with the record company when under contract, they pull no punches when they don't get what they want. It's pulled from a 4 part documentary called "The History of Heavy Metal." Each part is about 40 minutes long, so it's probably easier to just do a search for "Jani Lane interview" and find it that way.

[@TheZooropaBaby]

[@greekfreak1980]

Fun Fact:the guitarists of Warrant,didn't record any of the guitars,on the first 2 albums.All the guitars,you hear here and on the other songs,were recorded in the studio,by Mike Slamer,veteran guitarist,songwriter,producer/sound engineer.Check out some of his own projects,like Streets, Steelheart Lane,Seventh Key or the Slamer/Brock album.

Thanks for info. I knew the acoustic guitar intro on Uncle Tom's Cabin was played on the original studio record by Jani Lane's brother.

Love this band forever. Jani really had a killer voice. Uncle Tom's cabin is the song that I love. To play acoustic guitar then to turn to slamming? Not really heard of back then, except for Poison.

There's no logical explanation besides record companies greedy mfn desires

[@evenlytoasted]

@@frankfrega1302 the basic explanation is that it was a flicker in time, and within a year or two became outdated. That happens when you form your music around a gimmick. It wont last, it becomes representative of a moment in time, just like grunge only had a moment in the light. And yeah, the industry sucks, but change is the only constant. If you want something like music to last make it more universal or expect time to move past you. Just the way she goes boys.

Kevin Curl I’m almost 20 and this quickly became my favorite track from Warrant after Cherry pie. With most of the music industry being hip hop and rap, I started to think how unfair it is that I had to be born right as the 80s and 90s were ending. I will never get to see a lot of my favorite bands because of this. Not to say that all rock and metal nowadays is bad (which most of it is let’s be real) but these two decades, specifically the 80s, just had that edge that cuts. I’d say the blade has dulled a bit over the years.
