@Doom_Dude: Child in Time used to be one of my all-time favorite songs. I even picked up Jon Lord's keyboard intro piece, note-for-note. And Ian Gillan's vocals are chill-inducing.

 

Yeah, I first heard it in the 70's on the Made in Japan vinyl. Certainly one of my favorites. :)

Man of Constant Sorrow

 

This is an excellent a cappella version of a song written more than a century ago.

 

The song entered the mainstream when it was popularized in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?

More social commentary by Frank Zappa: Flakes

 

Bob: I asked as nice as I could

If my job would, somehow be finished by Friday

Well the whole damn weekend came and went, Frankie

Frank: (Wanna buy some mandies¹, Bob?)

Bob: You know what? That didn't do nothing'

But they charged me double for Sunday

Now you know, no matter what you do,

They gonna cheat and rob you

Then they'll give you a bill that'll get your senses reeling.

And if you do not pay, they got computer collectors,

That'll get you so crazy, till your head will go through the ceiling.

Yes, it will!

 

¹ Back in the hippie days Methaqualone was a recreational drug commonly called "ludes" in the USA and "mandies" (or "mandrakes") in other countries.

Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss..."
