Isaac Hayes - Walk On By

 

Well Isaac Hayes sang the theme for Shaft

Shaft as we know, was one bad dude

But I'm not going to post Shaft...geez is it me or does that sound wrong

I'm going to post, no, not Michael Jackson's Bad...although Michael Jackson was bad, and not in a good way

but a bad take-off on the song Bad...Weird Al Yankovic-Fat

I'm so sorry for my bad comeback

Well I could listen to Solomon Burke sing the phonebook, but he definitely could have been in that Weird Al video, especially in his later years.

Well no ideas from the song, but the photo, all I could think, maybe less twinkies and a trip or two to the gym LOL...I know, I'm one to talk LOL

So Olivia Newton John-Physical

Mind you seeing how the video ends, maybe not getting into shape is a good thing

Ah dunno about the banjo interlude, sort of sounded like a nylon stringed acoustic thing-a-ma-jig.

 

Now for some banjo we could visit with the Megadeth-like duo of Flatt and Scruggs with;

 

Foggy Mountain Breakdown for some hillbilly high speed dirt road chasin'

Hillbillys...why do I think of this "song"

And I used this video from the movie Deliverance to emphasize the hillbilly nature of the song

Dueling Banjos

Just please don't make me squeal like a pig LOL

Motherfucker, you say? Don't play this song if you don't like that word. Or if you are Catholic and easily offended.

Well we might as well get it all out there and be done with it. What the pope et al are up to, or were up to as this is from the early 70's. Even god is doing mescaline.
