The band Siniestro Total made a version dedicated to Galicia

In 1998, the Argentine Charly García made a version together with Javier Calamaro to exalt "criolla liveliness" in his song Sweet Home Buenos Aires . In 1980, together with David Lebón , he composed Encuentro con el diablo , using the musical base of Sweet Home Alabama and adding a bridge in its chorus, which also appears in Sweet Home Buenos Aires . It is also one of the songs from the movies Forrest Gump , 8 Mile , The Girl Next Door and Con Air . In the latter, one of the characters says in mid-flight "Define irony : a bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a dead band on a plane that crashed" (certainly not the whole band died, but Ronnie did. Van Zant , Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines ). Likewise, it appears in the horror film The Texas Chainsaw , when young people go to a concert by said band. She also appears as a version of a girl in episode 9 of the first season of Malcolm in the Middle and in a radio broadcast in episode 5 of the third season of the same series. It also plays in the movie Despicable Me , in the scene in which it is discovered that several pyramids in Egypt have been stolen. There is also a film released in 2002 with the same title, Sweet Home Alabama , where a girl from Alabama goes to try her luck in New York and after reaching the peak of success she returns to Alabama to realize that she is happier there. Burns helped form Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1964 alongside Ronnie Van Zant , Gary Rossington , Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom and remained in the band until 1974.

For a brief period in the early 1970s, Rickey Medlocke occasionally played drums al
