@doowoppingchainsawer I know... And a lot of "fans" don't know how to follow the game at all. Me, I don't care much for individual player stats or the very specific details, but I know enough to not get lost on a Fantasy league.

God bless Kentucky. Home of our Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

@LunarHelix1 My dad is from Pittsburgh so we were raised at Steeler fans. People around here liked the Bengals and it was great growing up loving a team others hated. Now everyone says they like the Steelers. They didn't root for them when I was in school.

@doowoppingchainsawer Louisville, born and raised. ^^ Pity Kentucky doesn't have a professional football team... My family all has to settle for the Bears and Steelers.

@LunarHelix1 where are you now? I'm from Lexington. Love it here. Though I'm a football fan and have to deal with basketball talk 12 months of the year!

Thank you for posting. I want to travel the world, but I'll always come back to Kentucky. It'll always be home.

@frechieguy It's absolute heresy to change the lyrics of MOKH...as well as of any American folk-song. Hell, we might as well just go in and edit out any references to slavery from all our history books...I mean, why would that be any different.Thankfully there are plenty of old 78's floating around where the song is sung the way it was intended.

People need to do a little research before they throw a fit about lyrics. In the original version of My Old Kentucky Home, the line "the darkies are happy and bright" is removed to be more "politically correct". A fact many people don't know; the term darkie was the socially accepted term for African-Americans during the time this song was written. It was the equivilent of today's African-Amercian. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutly hate racism, but KY should sing our anthem the old way!

I liked this song BETTER with the original lyrics. The chior was great...but I don't think such a beautiful song should be "Fixed" when NOTHING was broken. The first definition if you type in "Gay Definition" on google is this; Gay- Cheery: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer. HOW is that discrimination? I have gay friends, and they'd never overreact over this song. Geez. People cant appreciate good writers and artists these days.

日本のKFCのCMの影響かも知れませんが、私はこの手のアレンジが一番好きですね。

アレンジの効果かもしれないが，なんか聖歌っぽい．

@wc4dblues What?

wc4dblues  2010-10-31

@SlimeTron5000 I agree, you'd have to be deaf not to hear the reverence with which he imparts his lyrics. I hear nothing but respect, and remember... this was written while slavery was still in force. Now that's an open minded person.

my father loves this song.i love,too. 最近知ったのですが、ケンタッキーの我が家は黒人の人達のことを歌った歌だったのですね。歌詞からフォスターさんの優しさ、想いが滲み出てくるようです。

Thank you for your wonderful video of our home Kentucky, I shed a tear no matter how often I hear this.

I may not be a native, but I came to Kentucky as a naive 21 year old going to law school in a state I knew nothing about. Well, 29 years later, I'm a salesman for the Commonwealth

Who needs Hollywood, Beaches, movie stars, and famous peopl ewhen you have a good wholesome place called Kentucky. 15 year old boy, proudly living in Kentucky since birth, and i certain have no intentions of leaving.
