Heh... My English teacher had us doing a project on Midieval ballads, and at the end, she let us bring in a modern day ballad to play. Well, the qualifications she gave us for ballad were rhyme, chorus, and relation of a story. . . So I brought in Yertle the Turtle... I mean, Hell, it fits...
Most people don't listen to anything the Peppers wrote before Blood Sugar, and aren't even aware that albums like Freaky Styley exist, or, if they are, are only aware of singles... so, needless to say, I was the only kid in class that had heard this song before, or was even aware that it existed.
Once my teacher picked up on the lyrics, she screamed and hugged me and made me burn her a copy.
:-D
I've created another fan.... and this one's a 50 year old AP British Lit teacher
