"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.
