Chip Carter Music
The Bulldog Song
Chip Carter
Long before he ever stepped in front of a TV camera, Chip Carter was a musician. That was his first love and passion and he’s never strayed far from it.
Don’t miss Chip’s new show about food and farming, Where The Food Comes From, now available free anytime right here on YouTube and airing Fridays at 10 p.m. Eastern on The RFD-TV Network. But we’re talkin’ music now! (Okay, he did do the theme song for the show and adds some other music — playing the same 1961 Fender Telecaster that played on Roy Orbison’s “O, Pretty Woman!” no less — but first things first…)
These days, Chip’s probably best known for The Bulldog Song. The UGA anthem and video have racked up hundreds of thousands of plays on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, and even on the good ol’ fashioned radio. There’s also a free ringtone available here.
This year’s version also features the world debut of Cyrus Carter (he’s the tiny one — doesn’t know the words yet, but he’s adorable).
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Editor’s Note: Chip’s love for the Georgia Bulldogs runs deep – real deep – so much so he could not wait to bring his primetime TV series Where The Food Comes From to the campus to show the world the University of Georgia is more than just a football powerhouse.
Season 4, Episode 13: Fruit Or Vegetable?!
Welcome to everybody’s favorite gameshow, Fruit…Or…Veggie! Okay, it’s not a real gameshow, but as you’ll see, it could be. We all know what we think is a fruit and what’s a vegetable. Pretty clear, right?
Wrong. Sure you probably know about a tomato — everybody knows that even though it seems like a veggie — it’s actually a fruit. But did you realize there are dozens to hundreds of others in the same boat?
We went to the University of Georgia Durham Horticulture Research Farm just off campus near Athens to meet with Dr. Tim Coolong, who knows what’s what when it comes to fruit and veggies.
And then to prove a point, we headed on-campus to play our show! Turns out almost nobody knows what’s actually a fruit and what’s a veggie! It’s a fun way to end Season 4… and we’ve got a lot more surprises in store for Season 5, including a return to UGA!
At Christmas 2018, Chip sang a moving rendition of “O Holy Night” that closed out the WTFCF/RFD-TV Holiday Special you can watch here, Larry’s Tree: A Christmas Journey to The White House, which he also produced and hosted. It’s a heartwarming holiday story about a simple farmer who wins his own National Championship.
Chip also released another great Georgia tune that turns up in Season 3, Episode 9 of Where The Food Comes From: Sweet Vidalia. It’s not about onions – it’s about the town, the place, the people and the spirit. More to come — and be sure to listen to Chip’s other songs in the music player on this page. And share it with your friends!
It’s only natural that Chip would write and sing about the South – he was born in Newnan, GA, in the same old red brick hospital as Alan Jackson (but a few years later!).
“Music is just something I’ve loved the way you love your mother, your children – it’s just there and it never wavers. I was born with it and it’s never left me,” Chip says. “I could say the same thing about the South.”
Now Chip just wants to share his music — and Where The Food Comes From — with others, like the tens of thousands of UGA fans who discover The Bulldog Song each year – the Facebook page alone has 30,000 followers. And look for a new update soon!
