Mercy Mercy (Remastered 2002)

This song--I need it!

This version of this song is about the same age as me. Some things only get better with age. 

Mamas and Papas: Saw Her Again Last Night

I can see why the person who uploaded this turned off the comments. You Tube comments tend to attract a special breed of lowlife.

I can understand why people might have something nasty to say about John Phillips. The unfortunate truth is that he coerced his own daughter into a ten-year incestuous relationship, and that's a major ick factor. So, screw you, John, for the fact that whenever I listen to your songs I'll know in the back of my mind about the awful, disgusting thing you did.

Then there would be the lot trotting out the bullshit "ham sandwich" tale regarding poor Cass Elliott's untimely death. Cass actually died from heart failure. She did not choke on a ham sandwich. Cass is guilty of nothing more than being a big woman in a society that believes everyone should be a size 0. I always think of Cass fondly when I hear the songs, and think it's too bad that she died so young.

Smee the Killjoy

The Simon and Garfunkel playlist didn't last as long as I would have liked, because Smee (SME) kept forbidding the playing of videos in playlists and saying that I had to use a stand-alone player. So here's another Simon and Garfunkel playlist. Hopefully Smee will butt out this time.

So, what would you all say if I shared a little Simon and Garfunkel playlist with you?

Awww, you're welcome!

Scarborough Fair

 

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)

Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme

(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)

Without no seams nor needlework

(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)

Then she'll be a true love of mine

(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land

(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)

Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme

(Washed is the ground with so many tears)

Between the salt water and the sea strand

(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)

Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather

(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)

Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme

(Generals order their soldiers to kill)

And to gather it all in a bunch of heather

(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)

Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine.

 

Time of the Season For Zombies

Here is a full playlist of Zombies songs for a great Retro feel to your Sunday afternoon. I've always loved music from this period. I was just a little kid then, but the music has stayed with me through my whole life. I think it's timeless.

Summertime

Janis and Jimi together!

Dedicating One to the Backstabbers

You got a lotta nerve

 To say you are my friend

When I was down

You just stood there grinning

 You got a lotta nerve

To say you got a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on

The side that’s winning

You say I let you down

You know it’s not like that

 If you’re so hurt

Why then don’t you show it

You say you lost your faith

But that’s not where it’s at

You had no faith to lose

And you know it

I know the reason

 That you talk behind my back

I used to be among the crowd

You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool

To think I’d make contact

With the one who tries to hide

What he don’t know to begin with

You see me on the street

You always act surprised

You say, “How are you?”

 “Good luck”

But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me

You’d rather see me paralyzed

Why don’t you just come out once

And scream it

No, I do not feel that good

When I see the heartbreaks you embrace

 If I was a master thief

Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied

With your position and your place

Don’t you understand

 It’s not my problem

 I wish that for just one time

You could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment

 I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time

 You could stand inside my shoes

 You’d know what a drag it is

To see you
