lyrics:
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down


Notes:
I used DJ Schmolli’s mash-up of the vocals of Johnny Cash's God's Gonna Cut You Down, the drums on Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks, the Beastie Boys’ bass from Sabotage, the guitar from Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever, and The Beatles’ lead guitar from Come Together. It’s some seriously amazing work. I downloaded it from MashupTown and I highly recommend it.

After having used Windows Movie Maker for so long and then seeing all the cool things I could do with Vegas without having to write xml was amazing. I fiddled around with it for the 30 days trial and produced this, which I will chalk up to experience and learning. I first got the idea for the vid back in December when it was posted on MashupTown, but then Johnny Cash’s original God’s Gonna Cut You Down was used for a promo for the show, I decided not to make the vid, but then I got a few kicks in the pants and did it anyways.

Wow. So this was awesome, and I don't even watch the show (all though I have seen the 1st eppy). LOVE the transition you used for all the guitar bits and of course the wonderful timing on the fireball at 1:42. That was snappy. Excellent!

So you made this in Vegas? Did you get that transition from Vegas too? I'm always looking for new discoveries in that program. ;)

When I first thought of doing the vid, the fireball part was the first thing I knew I wanted to do with the section.

Yep, made in Vegas. It's under transitions > cross effect > cross zoom a only. And depending that the clip order, I sometimes used cross zoom b only. Also, yay for another Vegas user. I'm very in love with it right now.

Wait, that crazy awesome filmy effect is a crosszoom and that's it? O.o

No, not that, oops. The distortion one is Video FX > TV Simulator > Bad Sync, then I just messed with all the levels.
