The song was actually written and recorded two or three years BEFORE Kent State. Very prescient, that FZ. |

| Frank Zappa – The Mud Shark Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
Based on a true story involving Led Zeppelin's road manager (there may have been a couple of members of the Vanilla Fudge present, but only as spectators), a groupie and a freshly-caught fish. The rest shall be left to your imagination. :) |

| The Velvet Underground – Hey Mr. Rain Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
At first glance, not unlike an old time prison work song...but with the VU, a deeper meaning ("waiting for the man" again, perhaps?) is always possible. BTW, the line is "starin' up at the sky"...as in, waiting for rain. |

| Dionne Warwick – I Say A Little Prayer Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
Subtle antiwar song, written during the Vietnam era. The protagonist is "saying a little prayer" for her guy, who is fighting overseas, and worries that she may wind up "living without him" (i.e., that he won't make it back alive). |
