"Oh Johnny Johnny Johnny why didja beat up that queer?"

"He didn't cry or nuthin" "Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny why didja beat up that queer?" "Nobody saw me do it" These are lyrics from the song [url=http://www.gemair.com/~dturner/illiad.mp3]"The Illiad"[/url] [3.7MB mp3]as recorded by the New York based counterculture group [url=http://www.thefugs.com]The Fugs[/url] in the mid 1960s. I first heard this song in the late sixties, and the humor holds up well after all these years. This tune was written and sung by Fugs founder Ed Sanders, who is now publishing [url=http://www.woodstockjournal.com/]"The Woodstock Journal"[/url] and still recording with "The Fugs" Now... before anyone is offended, please understand that this song is musical SATIRE! It is intended to make fun of rednecks who hate queers... [oops, I mean gay people ;) ]... and it does so pretty effectively I think. As soon as I send this post, I am going to jump in my ole Corvette and wheel on down the strazza to May's Cafe for some coffee and a piece of lemon pie. :p Dennis
