Whenever I hear this song I picture Xi Jinping leading his red armies riding on a giant Chinese dragon ready to burn down Washington D.C. :nerdy:

Amazing song from an overhyped show that sums up politics in a nutshell.

Also I like to picture this song playing after Trump chokes on his last cheeseburger. :nerdy:

"Just do as I say, don't do as I do". Certainly describes the religious right and who they vote for all too well.

Sadly, televangelists are still a thing and so this over 30 year song feels very relevant.

In 1973 Redbone released the politically oriented "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", recalling the massacre of Lakota Sioux Indians by the Seventh Cavalry in 1890. The song ends with the subtly altered sentence "We were all wounded 'by' Wounded Knee". The song reached the #1 chart position in Europe but did not chart in the U.S. where it was initially withheld from release and then banned by several radio stations.

This is how I picture in my head Kim Yo Jong taking absolute power as the first Female Dictator of North Korea. :nerdy:

Songfacts

Quote:

Paul McCartney wrote this song about the civil rights struggle for African Americans after reading about race riots in the US. He penned it in his kitchen in Scotland not long after an incident in Little Rock when the federal courts forced the racial desegregation of the Arkansas capital's school system.

"I was sitting around with my acoustic guitar and I'd heard about the civil rights troubles that were happening in the '60s in Alabama, Mississippi, Little Rock in particular," he told GQ. "I just thought it would be really good if I could write something that if it ever reached any of the people going through those problems, it might give them a little bit of hope. So, I wrote 'Blackbird.'"

McCartney did not have ornithological intentions when he wrote this song. In England, "bird" is a term meaning "girl," so the song is a message to a black girl, telling her it's her time to fly:
