"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band.

Quite a well-known classic country song from the 1970s (I think).

The Muppet Show once did a musical sketch for it.

Yes, It's a song from 1970, and it's killer in concert!
They even made a sequel to it back in the late '90s, the video had Travis Tritt as the Devil ;)

Or, if you're from the greater Baltimore region, it could have been "The Devil Went Down to Dundalk," on 98 Rock.

That's just as catchy. And a hell of a lot funnier. :D
