The Marsh Fots - Can't Fight The Maringouin (Cajun Viking Records)

Cajun Viking Records signed this group in 2022. They were discovered down in Cut-Off, Louisiana. When our scout happened upon them, they were doing exactly what you see on the album cover - standing in the marsh, watching him change his flat tire, and getting torn apart by mosquitoes, or as we Cajuns call them, "maringouins". When he was finished, they asked if he needed any help. Obviously aggravated, he answered, "Sure. Can you get these damn mosquitoes off of me?". They told him there's nothing anyone can do about mosquitoes, then handed him a demo of this song. The rest is history.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Awe! Hey!
[Guitar]
[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana
When the summer comes around
Those little bastards start a buzzin'
In your ears, you hear the sound
[Verse 2]
They're coming for your blood, boy
And there's nothing you can do
When the day turns into night, yeah
They'll be swarmin' down on you
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Bridge]
You can't run
You can't hide
Close the door, or they'll follow you inside
You better pray
And grab the spray
They're gonna bite your ass all day
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Verse 3]
Down in Louisiana
When the summer comes around
Those mosquitoes start a bitin'
And they'll never slow it down
[Verse 4]
They're coming for you quick, boy
And there's nothing you can do
When the day turns into night, yeah
They'll be swarmin' down on you
[Outro Guitar Solo]
[Fade To Black]

As a swamp rat myself, I’ve always wanted to start a band that sounds like this, just can’t find anyone that wants to play this type of music lol

[@epic6434]

This song is awesome. I'd love to just hang out, grill, eat gator sausage, drink beer and jam with them from sun up to sun down.

[@NickeySnyder]

They can’t fight them because they are standing in their home

Good tunes, sounds like some of the Swejun music over here

[@sebby5]

Thanks. Glad you like it. Just curious. What is Swejun music? I'm not familiar with the term.

[@brentcole3410]

@@sebby5 A term we coined around here, Swedish Cajun = Swejun. Amon Amarth meets D.L. Menard

[@howieduwit2551]

Well, well, well... what do we have here? 🤔

[@cajunvikingrecords]

Ha! I'm using the power of Ai for good! 😁

[@darrenenders698]

Well they should change this music to bear metal because of their furry faces

Pronounce Maringouin for us
non-swamp folk.

[@cajunvikingrecords]

Marin-gwan. Cajun French for “mosquito”, although we have a few other choice words for them.
