Content

[edit ]

The song is about a mild-mannered grocery store employee, Barney Jekyll, who, on Friday nights, puts on leather boots and an "Elvis jacket" and drives a sports car to a honky-tonk, where he goes by the name of "Bubba Hyde". The song is a reference to the 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Music video

The music video was directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions and premiered in January 1995. It stars Jm J. Bullock, best-known for playing Monroe Ficus on the sitcom Too Close for Comfort and Prince Valium in Spaceballs , as Barney Jekyll/Bubba Hyde.
