^_^ Actually he didn't write the song. Otis Blackwell did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otis_Blackwell Here's a theory: "The song title is derived from a Southern expression, which some Christians consider blasphemous, that refers to the Pentecost's defining moment when the Holy Spirit manifested itself as "cloven tongues as of fire" and the Apostles spoke in tongues. In the 1939 movie Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara (played by Vivien Leigh) frequently exclaims, "Great balls of fire!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Balls_of_Fire
