Len Colby Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Cover of a Fugs classic which speaks for itself Why settle for a cover when you can listen to the brilliant original? Here’s a live version presumably recorded in or after the 1980s because the updated lyrics mention “min[ing] the harbors a' Nicaragua” Ism’s I Think I Love You EP has a few candidates for this thread besides there great cover of CIA Man there’s John Hinckley Jr. (What Has Jodie Done to You?) and Nixon Now More Than Ever but the former doesn’t seem to be available on the net.

William Kelly Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) VIDEO: Alex Crawford interviews Libyan rebel with stolen Gadhafi hat - World - Video - 3 News LIBYA: 'Gaddafi's Hat' remix set to go viral - latimes.com Tell me now you got the hat. It was only a matter of time. Noy Alooshe, the Israeli journalist and musician who brought the world the now famous of Moammar Kadafi's defiant Feb. 22 speech cursing rebel forces, has just posted a new video. is crafted from Sky News video that Babyblon posted yesterday showing Alex Crawford interviewing a rebel fighter who identified himself as "Mr. Al Windi" and claimed to have seized Kadafi's iconic military hat (along with a few other items) from a bedroom of his sprawling Bab Azizia complex in Tripoli. Alooshe was first inspired by Kadafi's rambling speech, and began using auto-tune programming on his computer to set the beat of Kadafi's words to the music of rapper Pitbull's "Hey Baby" (also featuring rapper T-Pain).(And yes, the original video features clips from Kadafi's speech overlaid with images of go-go dancers, although there were many knock-offs).Alooshe titled the new song "Zanqa Zanqa" based on Kadafi's repetition of the word zanqa, Libyan Arabic for alleyway."House to house, room to room, alley to alley, person to person we will disinfect the whole country from filth," Kadafi says. The title morphed into "Zenga Zenga" as the video went viral within days via Facebook and Twitter, becoming a favorite of Conan O'Brien and apparently Kadafi's own family and supporters. Now the "Zenga Zenga" video has more than a million hits and has been viewed more than 4 million times, according to YouTube (and that's just counting the orginal, clean version). The new video had fewer than 300 views at last count (far less than Alooshe's 2008 , which mocked a guy obsessed with Israeli Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni) but had started to catch on with the Twitter crowd.

John Simkin Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Herbert Kretzmer, was asked to write a song about the assassination of John Kennedy within hours of it taking place, for a BBC news programme. The result was "In the Summer of His Years". It was originally performed by Millicent Martin. This is a version by Mahalia Jackson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVwHPzuK294 The following year Kretzmer wrote the lyrics for that great song, Yesterday, When I was Young. Maybe he was thinking about JFK when he wrote that song. Here is Glen Campbell’s version. I have chosen this one because it also includes the lyrics.

Len Colby Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I’m surprised no one mention “Abraham, Martin and John” by Dion. And yes it’s the same Dion who sang hits like “The Wanderer” and "A Teenager in Love" in the late 50s and early 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't think JFK's legacy is important? There must more books about and discussion about his assassination than all other assassination and attempted assassinations put together, why do you suppose that is?
