The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
 
He was in a bind 'cause he way way behind, he was willin' to make a deal.
 
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
 
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
 
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
 
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
 
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
 
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
 
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
 
but I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."
 
Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
 
'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards.
 
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
 
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
 
The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
 
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
 
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
 
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
 
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
 
"But sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."
 
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run
 
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun
 
Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough
 
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
 
"No, child, no."
 
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
 
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
 
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
 
"cause I told you once, you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been."

How do you make a quiz like this? So much nicer looking than my Ultimate Showdown (of Ultimate Destiny) quiz.

Lots of trial and error. Start off by changing the cell border to zero. Ditch the Hint and Answer column. For the answer, you type like this: The devil went down to {Georgia} Then, make sure your type in is changed to Georgia.

Took a bit of playing around to get the look I was going for. I was trying to mimic the "Livin' on a Prayer" quiz. Sadly, QM informed me that format is no longer achievable
