Carolina Girls is a song by General Norman Johnson of Chairmen of the Board. The song was recorded and released as a single in 1980 [1] on the album Carolina Girl[citation needed] by Surfside Records. While never topping the charts, the song has persisted over the years to become a part of the South Carolina and North Carolina culture and remains a radio and live performance favorite. This is most noticeable in the beach music heard all along the Mid Atlantic coast, as the preferred medium for shag dancing. The song was later recorded by other artists [2], although not with the success of the original. The song also inspired the book Carolina Girls (ISBN 0-9712521-7-3) by Steven Brown. [3]

Good job!

You must admit, he's an amazing ball player.

I admit it, when I own the Red Sox franchise, I shall get rid of Drew and get Swisher!

In an interview with Blues Critic, Danny Woods of Chairman of the Board was asked if "Carolina girls really are the best" and explains:
"You know when I first came here (The Carolinas) there was no style. You know you had the New York girls, California girls and they all got the attention. Even songs about them. And that just made Carolina girls feel like nothing but there's quite a difference between Carolina girls now and then. Their self esteem just magnified after that song."[6]
Fellow Chairman Ken Knox followed up:
Girls became prideful. High schools and colleges use that song. Marching bands play "Carolina Girls". It's on T-shirts and we're glad about that. It's the all time biggest Carolina Beach song now.
Arguably, the popularity of the song helped push the band from regional significance to gain national recognition.

Swisher will never leave the Yankees for the Red Sox.
Because you'd never be able to offer him more money than the Yankees.

To many within the Carolinas, the song unofficially represents the community, and is quoted informally as such often[7]. The song tied in first place with "Carolina in My Mind" by James Taylor in voting for the South Carolina Information Highway soundtrack, a compilation of 15 songs that "reflect the Carolinas".

"FANTASY"...baseball team. XD.

Pick a player XD

Ugh. Either the Yankees need to beat the Rangers or the Phillies need to beat the Giants.

Both the Rangers and the Giants are FANLESS.
You know how many people are going to watch that WS?
NOBODY.
Because they both are NOBODY teams.
You've got to have a rich, powerful team in the WS.
Poor FOX... they will be making no money off the WS this year if it's Rangers vs. Giants.
