Reelin’ In the Years 79: Sail Away
Posted in 1970s, Lyrics, Music, Reelin' In The Years at 10:00 on 28 February 2014
Who says USians can’t do irony – or satire?
Randy Newman certainly can. Biting sharp lyrics against jaunty or haunting tunes.
Has anyone ever made an invitation to enter into slavery more beautiful?
