“Cracklin’ Rosie” is a song written and recorded by Neil Diamond, released in 1970. It was his first single to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Diamond drew inspiration for the song from a folk tale he heard while touring Canada: the story concerned an indigenous tribe in Northern Canada where men vastly outnumbered women. On weekends, men unable to find a girlfriend would buy cheap sparkling wine to drink; these bottles served as a “substitute girl,” keeping them company and bringing them joy throughout the weekend.
