Cover art for Performance lyrics by Merry Clayton

Heard it off the Performance soundtrack. Good ol fashioned psychedelic soul

When I close my eyes and listen to this song, this is what I see: It’s the late sixties and at the same an Apollo rocket is circling the moon, a group of teens arrive at a cabin in the woods where there are dead bodies inside. These images are interrupted by other strange images of babies being born, sex, a roller coaster ride from the rider’s point of view; Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow approaching the Emerald City and psychedelic images of what looks like giant insect legs (minus the insect) being firmly planted into the ground.
