It's called "Dueling Banjos" even though it is really a duet between a banjo and a guitar.
This was written and recorded in 1955 as "Feuding Banjos" by Country star Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. When the song became a hit, he had to file a lawsuit to get credit for writing it.
A group called The Dillards popularized this in the mid '60s on the folk circuit. It was their version that author James Dickey heard and thought would fit nicely in the film version of his novel Deliverance.
This plays a prominent role in the movie Deliverance. The version used in the film was written and recorded by Weissberg and Mandell. It was used in the pivotal square-off scene between the guitar-playing city boy and the banjo-playing country boy.
Largely as a result of its use in the movie, this in often associated with country bumpkins. The first few notes are often used to imply a hillbilly mentality.
