Tucker's Town (song)
"Tucker's Town" is a song by American rock group Hootie & the Blowfish. It was released in July 1996 as the second single from their second album, Fairweather Johnson. In the United States, it peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 (their last Hot 100 entry to date), number 24 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and number 29 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The song is named for the village of Tucker's Town, Bermuda, the mostly black, working-class residents of which were compelled to sell their land in the 1920s to make way for a hotel and golf club, and an enclave where foreign millionaires and billionaires are permitted to own homes (Bermuda, from which South Carolina was colonised in 1670, was a frequent haunt of the South Carolinan band).
