The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam And I mean every word of it
Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
Can't you see it Can't you feel it It's all in the air I can't stand the pressure much longer Somebody say a prayer
Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
This is a show tune But the show hasn't been written for it, yet
Hound dogs on my trail School children sitting in jail Black cat cross my path I think every day's gonna be my last
Lord have mercy on this land of mine We all gonna get it in due time I don't belong here I don't belong there I've even stopped believing in prayer
Don't tell me I tell you Me and my people just about due I've been there so I know They keep on saying "Go slow!"
But that's just the trouble "do it slow" Washing the windows "do it slow" Picking the cotton "do it slow" You're just plain rotten "do it slow" You're too damn lazy "do it slow" The thinking's crazy "do it slow" Where am I going What am I doing I don't know I don't know
Just try to do your very best Stand up be counted with all the rest For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
I made you thought I was kiddin' didn't we
Picket lines School boy cots They try to say it's a communist plot All I want is equality for my sister my brother my people and me
Yes you lied to me all these years You told me to wash and clean my ears And talk real fine just like a lady And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie
Oh but this whole country is full of lies You're all gonna die and die like flies I don't trust you any more You keep on saying "Go slow!" "Go slow!"
But that's just the trouble "do it slow" Desegregation "do it slow" Mass participation "do it slow" Reunification "do it slow" Do things gradually "do it slow" But bring more tragedy "do it slow" Why don't you see it Why don't you feel it I don't know I don't know
You don't have to live next to me Just give me my equality Everybody knows about Mississippi Everybody knows about Alabama Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
Question about Show: if there was a "Who looks most like a member of the Village People" competition backstage at, say, Summerslam, would he win? Or would Bradshaw with his former handlebar moustache take the win?
Obviously the Village People of wrestling would be Tatanka, the Big Boss Man, Stephen Regal the Real Man's Man, and, um, two guys in leather (Edge and Christian?), but I'm going on moustaches only.
"you know where william regal got that brutal edge to his wrestling? fighting his way out of the docks in blackpool that's how"

(i memorised that I did)
I am a basham fan (though they ain't doing much at the moment) but they don't wear leather to the ring where as demolition did..... the bashams are an attempt to do a 22nd centruy demolition.... as any fule no
Although it was stupid, I actually used to dig (or "mark out for") the Bashams in their S&M gimmick. When they came out in the handcuff thing, I laughed. Hey, at least they had SOME characterisation! AND the tag team titles! (Scotty & Fatty winning was the beginning of the end)
With the recent developments in the tag team division this week, I think we might see the return of the Brothers Basham. Unfortunately it'll be without Shaniqua, as she's apparently developed a massive ego and is not in favour with the men in charge.
If you fell in the sea in Blackpool, fighting your way out would be a necessity- it's like toxic waste.

Re: Big Show...
Date: 2004-07-09 07:20 am (UTC)THE BASHAM BROTHERS would be the guys in leather. Silly me, and I'm a Basham fan (a Bashfan?).
Perhaps you don't know of his construction worker gimmick? I have nothing against Stephen Bloody Regal, he "comes from" the same shitty town as I do.
