Only A Northern Song
Killing You Softly With Our Song
7/9/09
Dear, I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long
I am such a slacker! Courtney and MJ invite me to contribute to their bliggity-blog, and I go off and skip the last two throwdowns in favor of, well, life! The nerve!
Anyway, I'm hopping back in the saddle with a quickie. Jacko and Americana. Really, it's hard to separate the two. I can't imagine any other country spawning the incredibly talented shitshow that was Michael Jackson. And, frighteningly enough, there are millions of people in this world who think all Americans cheer for the Yankees, drink Budweiser, and love The Gloved One. So perverse, and so true.
So, without further ado, my favorite Michael Jackson tune. Of course, with all of the hoopla, Embed codes have been restricted. So I'm posting a "cover" version:
Now, for the Americana. I think Neil Diamond's "America" is such an easy choice, it's almost criminal. And Courtney pulling out the X was inspired. So I'm going to go the neo-traditional route, an immigrant song for the 21st Century:
