Dueling Banjos

[7] Two young musicians, Ron Brentano and Mike Russo, had originally been signed to play their adaptation for the film, but instead it was performed by Weissberg and Mandell.[9][10] When Arthur "Boogie" Smith was not acknowledged as the composer by the filmmakers, he sued and eventually won, receiving songwriting credit as well as royalties.[16] The Randy Stonehill song "Big Ideas (In a Shrinking World)," from the album Equator, contains a brief joke about "Dueling Bagpipes."British punk band Toy Dolls adapted the song as "Drooling Banjos" on their 1993 album Absurd-Ditties.[17] The tv show Family Guy parodied the song in a scene where Michael Moore and Peter Griffin end up in a farting contest after taking neighbouring bathroom stalls.
