Jumping Jack Flash just so happens to also be the name of a song from the Rolling Stones. So I figured I'd post a stones song that is great but doesn't get a lot of radio play.

Whenever I hear this song I'm reminded of the movie Platoon. Platoon was one of many great movies about the Vietnam war. And one of the definitive Vietnam war songs is...

Okay, I can't think of a link to the previous song, but given recent events hereabouts, I'm posting this anyway. Call this a hijack, if you will. It's a song about mathematics, and academia, and plagiarism, and it's funny as hell.

okay... Kenny Rogers.

 

Before he was a solo Act, he was part of the "First Edition"... and before that he was a member of the "New Christy Minstrels"

 

Minstrels sometimes appeared in blackface - painting their entire face in black with the exception of their eyes and mouths...

 

This group is not "new" but they do paint their faces....

 

KISS - Christine Sixteen
