'ISRAELITES'
LOVED this song since I first heard it as a little kid. Never knew who it was, couldn’t understand the words, had no idea what he was singing about. Now, I can find the lyrics online. Have also learned that he wrote the song after overhearing a couple in the park arguing over money. Finally, it makes sense... and I can sing along.
Basic lyrics:
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelite
My wife and my kids, they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to receive (or "to be seen”?)
Poor me Israelites
Shirt them a-tear up, trousers is gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me Israelites
After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor me Israelites…

You didn't say it had to be a good, one. They have made a truckload of money, though.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.
H. L. Mencken said it best:
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Thank You, Originalist. Oh, sorry, I mean Origanalist. Hehe. Musta been another Milwaukee's Best night, huh? Though, it's amazing how things seem to make perfect sense under the most unfortunate of circumstances, isn't it?
Anyway. The song was #1 on the US Dance chart and peaked at #2 on the soul chart and #8 on the US Singles Chart and was ranked 43rd on the 200 VH1 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 1980s.

No point. You had made a point to contest the song which I had posted for some reason that I do not know.
So I corrected you. Seems to be a trend. But that's okay.
You may go now.
Oh wait, before you go, you ever heard the one about the bear and the hunter, O? For some reason your antics remind me of the hunter. lol.
A hunter goes into the woods to hunt a bear. He carries his trusty 22-gauge rifle with him. After a while, he spots a very large bear, takes aim, and fires. When the smoke clears, the bear is gone. A moment later, the bear taps the hunter on the shoulder and says, “No one shoots at me and gets away with it. You have two choices: I can rip your throat out and eat you, or you can drop your trousers, bend over, and I’ll [insert appropriate colloquialism for sodomy here].” The hunter decides that anything is better than death, so he drops his trousers and bends over; and the bear does what he said he would do. After the bear has left, the hunter pulls up his trousers and staggers back into town. He’s pretty mad. He buys a much larger gun and returns to the forest. He sees the same bear, aims, and fires. When the smoke clears, the bear is gone. A moment later the bear taps the hunter on the shoulder and says, “You know what to do.” Afterward, the hunter pulls up his trousers, crawls back into town, and buys a bazooka. Now he’s really mad. He returns to the forest, sees the bear, aims, and fires. The force of the bazooka blast knocks him flat on his back. When the smoke clears, the bear is standing over him and says, “You’re not doing this for the hunting, are you?”
