Dude had a better solo; The song acts like it was an obvious win for Johnny too, but the Devil jammed, while Johnny's bit sounds much more generic and just kinda whatever.

Hell, the difference is even grander in the Primus cover, The Devil kicks Johnny's ass.

No, are you listening to the lyrics? "and it sounded something like this", this is a third person playing the song. We don't know Johnny's nor The Devil's renditions because it's a 3rd party playing both of them.

So you're saying that this is not, in fact, the greatest song in the world? This is just a tribute?!

Exactly; Johnny was using vocals to cover up his mediocre fiddle playing. The Devil got scammed out of his golden fiddle.

Oh shit; what a twist. There's no way for us to ever know then.

I still think the Devil got cheated here tho.

Didn't the Devil also have a bunch of demons playing along with him? His own playing may have been even more mediocre.

Why would the devil give up so easily though? Seems uncharacteristic.

I don't know that I trust this third-party narrator's account of the event.

Didn't even ask to go another round? Maybe Johnny was a one trick pony, there's no way the Devil was able to grasp the entirity oh Johnny's fiddle playing off that one quick set.

Something's not adding up here.

The Devil's was a rendition, so for that, it's fair.

However, we know what Johnny did, because the song tells us Johnny sang that verse as is.

And, to be quite frank, it was shit. I find it hard to believe the Devil, with an entire band of demons in support, lost that one, whereas Johnny sang some hillbilly nonsense and didn't even have a great fiddle section to go along with it.

All that said, the Devil was the judge, and he personally bowed out in defeat. You can't be more decisive then that.

On that note, does anybody else think that Lickity Split actually won the previous round? I mean, being honest, his rhymes were pretty slick, and that was probably B Rabbits worst freestyle of the competition...

I'm calling bullshit. Devil should have won against Johnny in the same way that it should have been a Lickity-Papa Doc finale.

That one was definitely close, B Rabbit admitted to it, but the crowd made their choice

On further thought, if the story is in fact being told from a third party, we also have to question the fact that the Devil himself admitted defeat.

This could very easilly just be one of Johnny's buddies sharing anti-devil propaganda.

Well, assuming the story is true, how else would the devil have lost? How would Johnny have gotten the golden fiddle?

The Devil obviously judged the contest so if he lost it's by his own choice.

Come to think of it, the devil was in a bind because he was way behind.

He may have conceded to Johnny because he just didn't have the time to appeal. Would be more efficient to find some other putz who wasn't as good at stringed instruments.

Though it does raise the question of...who is the devil answering to, here? Behind on what?

A popular interpretation of the song is that the Devil didn't care about the actual contest at all. He exploited Johnny's sin of pride in thinking that he could beat an ex-angel of the Lord in a contest. In saying that Johnny won, Johnny's pride will be even more outrageous and he will continue to sin, thus guaranteeing that he will go to hell and the Devil will collect his soul regardless.

Independent of that, there's also a sequel song where he comes back for a rematch, also mentioning pride. The winner is ambiguous in this one:

Oh and if anyone's interested, Alexander James Adams released a song before he transitioned called Faerie Queen which is essentially a medieval version of The Devil Went Down To Georgia involving the fey. The difference is that instead of a soul, the mortal woman is trying to free her lover who's been enthralled by the queen.
