While listening to 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Lynyrd Skynyrd, first thing that came across my mind was 'Forrest Gump'. Really cant find words to appreciate the super song-picks in that movie. Dont think there will be ever be another movie like Forrest Gump.
Soon, while listening to the same song for the 4th or 5th time, the 'Forrest Gump' part of the flash-memory evaded from me and I was wondering how come Governor Wallace's name is coming in this song. So started googling for this song's lyrics, but could not figure out much info behind the context of this song.
So tried wiki for the 'Sweet Home Alabama', got a good education of American history yet again.

Totally agreed...there is something about the Forrest Gump that makes you see the movie again and again..same for the Lynyrd Skynyrd song...there is another song by led zeppelin 'when the levee breaks' that arouses the same feeling ..
