"Elvis Costello Totally Wants to Make Out With Heather Alayne"
I think the protest version is "Why isn't Elvis Costello Making Out with Heather Alayne Right the F NOW!"
right?
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I did the same thing! I'm rather fond of those collections. I need to pick up the Emmylou Harris one.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think the protest version is "Why isn't Elvis Costello Making Out with Heather Alayne Right the F NOW!"
That was the title I was looking for.
Alicia- I usually do look on most of them to see if they were influenced by the people I think they were. I totally wanted to see a Texas jump blues guy like Lightnin Hopkins on Ray Charles's.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
More Gang of Four needed, I think.
I'd take "Clampdown" by the Clash.
I find Mary Black's version of "My Youngest Son Came Home Today" utterly hearbreaking.

When I saw Elvis C. live, he did this cover that had lyrics like "Everyone talks about justice, but I don't think they know what it means" or WTTE.
Any ideas what this might be? (This was about 13 years ago so I don't remember much of it.)

Non-sequitor, if only because I keep meaning to tell people about it and then forgetting.
The karaoke place I go to on a regular basis got a boatload of new songs (yay!). Among those songs is "Sand and Water" by Beth Nielsen Chapman. A great song to sing if you want to make the entire bar weep like babies.
I'm tempted to sing it sometime, just to be a total buzzkill.
Carry on with the protest songs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks bicyclops.

Carry on with the protest songs.
Like a wayward son?

Art Crawl!!!
I heard a good review of a blues movie -- well, a movie of a blues concert called something like "Lightning in a Bottle" this morning. Has anyone here seen it?
(Also, they reviewed the John Lennon Acoustic album which sounds like fun.)

Bonnie Raitt also has a nice version on one of her early, pre-success albumns. It's a damn fine song.
