"Chattahoochee" is one of Alan Jackson's biggest hits.  But he was actually reluctant to put it out, because he didn't know if people would relate.  In fact, even Waylon Jennings asked him, quote, "What the heck is a Chattahoochee?" Well, it's a river on the border of Georgia and Alabama.  But the song raises an even bigger question:  What's a HOOCHIE COOCHIE . . . as in, "It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie"??? Well, here's the answer, directly from songwriter Jim McBride:  A hoochie coochie is . . . a county fair strip show.
