Actually, we could do this in a meaningful way:

Don Fardon, "Indian Reservation" (the Raiders' cover was far better, but this version is more bitter)

The Monkees, "Mommy and Daddy" (Micky's subversive lyric: "Ask your mommy and daddy what happened to the Indian / How come they're all living in places with too much snow or too much sun" -- it scans musically better than it reads on page)

something by Redbone?

don't forget "Geronimo's Cadillac".  Actually, I was hoping for "10 10@10s for 10/10" but I guess they decided to forgo that little stunt this year.

Are any of you familiar with J.D. Blackfoot's "The Song of Crazy Horse"?  It's a whole album side.  J.D. is a Native American & it's a very rueful epic.

You took his land & you ate his corn.
On his grave your land was born.
You took his pride and you fed him dirt.
You wished him winter without a shirt.
And you called this Red Man
SAVAGE.

no relation to J. Blackfoot, the R&B singer, I assume? :wink:

there were a number of songs about the plight of the Indian back in the '70s but I'm totally blanking on titles.

ugh... 1987. Unless Dave finally plays Aretha & George, I have no hope for this to be good.

VHM to the horns on this Fab T-Birds song, even if structurally the song is a total rip of "Tuff Enuff."

Would you settle for Jim and Tammy Faye as a closet case + an oversize diva?

VHM Peter & Kate, "Don't Give Up". The Willie & Sinead cover is nice too -- KFOG played it for about a minute back in '92 or '93.

Aretha & George never ripped off little old ladies, as far as I know...  but I bet they could build a helluva theme park.  Look mommy, it's the "Turn a Different Corner" Roller Coaster!

BOS to New Order, "True Faith."  One of the best songs -- and videos -- of the decade.  This band was made for autumn.
