Watch Cracker Play ‘Low’ on Flagpole‘s Parade of Lights Float


The Parade of Lights took over downtown Athens last night with its motley selection of wacky floats, excited children and semi-sober revelers. The best float? Why, as always, of course, it was the Flagpole/AthFest/40 Watt Club vessel, which this year featured a very special musical guest: the one and only Cracker.

Above, watch video of the band playing its 1993 megahit “Low,” with some subtle holiday-inspired lyrical adjustments courtesy of frontman David Lowery. 

(Also, as a sorta-hilarious side note, this is the notice we got when we uploaded this video to our YouTube channel. Don’t sue us, Dave!)
