16 Dollars

16 Dollars

Volbeat

16 Dollars is definitely a rockabilly song and we have a guy called Jakob [Oelund] from a Danish band called Taggy Tones who plays slap bass on that song. It’s definitely the most rockabilly song that we have ever sung. (…) Lyrically, this song is just about this guy who doesn’t have any place to stay and just lives on the street, getting drunk and seeing what brings him through the day and what kind of experience he can get out of that. Somehow a typical cliché rock ‘n’ roll song both lyrically and musically.
