Kris Kristofferson's Hooked on a Feeling (covered by Blue Suede) and Loudon Wainwright III Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road (which I'm guilty of singing whenever I come up on a dead skunk in the middle of the road, and it's stinking to highest Heaven )

a little song for contemplation, let's all sing along to this nice Frenchie song


MON PAYS BLEU

Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
(Me I left my blue country)
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Et je n'ai pas su lui dire adieu
(And I failed to say goodbye)

Petit enfant dans mon château
(Little child in my Castle)
J'aimais voir dormir la belle au bord de l'eau
(I loved to see sleeping beauty by the water)
La belle a grandit mais mon beau château
(The belle has grown up but my beautiful castle)
S'est envolé, oh volé, volé, volé, volé, vole...
(It's stolen, oh stolen, robbed, stolen, stolen, stolen...)

Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Et je n'ai pas su lui dire adieu

Dans le grand jardin de mes parents
(In the large garden of my parents)
Je jouait près d'un chêne qui avait cent ans
(I was playing near an oak which was a hundred years old)
Si le chêne est là, le petit enfant
(If the oak is the little child)
S'est envolé, oh volé, volé, volé, volé, vole...

Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Moi j'ai quitté mon pays bleu
Et je n'ai pas su lui dire adieu

Ma mère un jour a du partir
(My mother a day of the parting)
Au pays des souvenirs
(In the land of memories)
Je me souviens mais son sourire
(I remember but his smile)
S'est envolé, oh volé, volé, volé, volé, vole...
(it's stolen, oh robbed, stolen, stolen, stolen...)

I am assuming Fairport Convention counts as obscure oldies?
I am really into the Nordic, British, and Irish folk revivals

Predates Marilyn Manson, Kiss, Alice Cooper, and any Norwegian kids donning corpse paint.
