I was born in a cross fire hurricane...

But it's alright now, in fact it's a gas,

But it's alright

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a gas, gas, gas

by Mick Jagger and the boys.

New Tune:

I'm going where the water tastes like wine

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

That would be Going Up The Country by Canned Heat.

It was "derived" from this 1928 recording by Henry Thomas called Bull Doze Blues.

Oh man!!

Not long after this song came out (197x?), I was working night stock in a major grocery store.

This song was in heavy rotation on the store's music system.

I must have heard it a thousand times.(every night!!)

(Another one they played to death was Down On Main Street by Jerry Rafferty)

It just wouldn't be fair for me to answer this one.

My bad I guess.

This is a sorta modern jazz "standard" almost. I guess there aren't many Jazzoids around these parts.

Originally performed by Les McCann and Eddie Harris, it's also been done by Brian Auger and the Oblivion Express, and I think Grover Washington Jr. and a few other jazz groups.

The lyrics are as appropo today as when they were written in the late '60s, I think.
