The lead song on the Atlanta Rhythm Section album Champagne Jam, released in 1978. According to the ARS website, "This flat out rocker pays tribute to the Lynyrd Skynyd band, with lyrics focusing on their shared musical experiences on stage. It's hard hitting, crisp and intense-a fitting tribute to a band that were ARS' contemporaries and been quoted as acknowledging ARS to be the best band in the South."

Lyrics:

We'll have us a large time, a knock down, drag out ball
We'll have us a large, large time, you all

Trinidad Time

Or "Trini Time" is a saying used in Trinidad, jokingly, to refer to something that occurred after its scheduled time, in other words - late.

Things running on "Trinidad time" or "Trini time" seems to be almost apart of the country's culture. The phrase is often used to discuss tardy professional services or an individual showing up late for an event.

1. "The concert started at 7 pm when it was supposed to start at 5 pm! Yeah man... that's Trinidad time!"
