By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven't done nothin'
It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else, yeah
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven't done nothin'
Jackson 5 join along with me, say
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becoming real life
But when misled who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mm hmm
Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven't done nothin'
Yeah, nothin'
Say
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Sing it loud for the people
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
Doo doo wop, doo doo wop
This goes out to Brandon and all his friends, enemies, and co-workers!
Enjoy
Oh great! Politics. Always welcomed! not.
By the way, Gerald Ford was the president when Stevie released this song. Hmm? Oh, a republican president? =)
Ford was the only person to serve as president without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency.
Enjoy
I was born in '52 and I have often wondered what the 60's would have been like with 90's tech, let alone today's tech.
The power of Stevie's music!
Yep, that's the guy who kicked Lyin' Loser Donnie's fat ass.
Thanks for posting.
blue or red, don't matter. they haven't done anything but blow gas and kill people.
Do we have to be subject to political opinions at this beautiful radio station?
Honestly, it really does show the true idiots here.
Next thing you know, musical artists will be writing songs about politics and stuff.
You people have nothing better to do than take a totally innocuous song and politicize it. American politics to boot, eh?
Your stunning lack of cultural awareness is duly noted.
Stevie helped put the F into funk!
I Agree completely! GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
Honestly, it really does show the true idiots here.
Hello?
This song is political, in fact it's about a corrupt president, although one who was nowhere near as stupid or corrupt as Trump.
So, of course people are going to make political comments!
Perhaps you should tell Stevie Wonder what an "idiot" he is for writing political songs. Yeesh.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the comment.
Now, back to the music. Sir Mixalot sampled this on One time's Got No Case...I will always marry these two songs in my head ;)

Nixon and Trump have a lot in common - but Nixon wasn't an Idiot.
Both of them from the Republican party, interesting kind of breed they grow for presidents... Just saying!

Except race politics is literally what the song is about. The caucasity of it all.
This song reminds me of Superstition so much I often confuse them until I hear him sing. Same key, similar tempo. Same album perhaps?
Superstition is on a different album (Talking Book)

Love this. Quite possibly the best gif of all time.
Ever heard of historical revisionism?
Must this brilliant tune (from 1974) be soiled by contemporary political rancor? I guess there's no stopping it.
Divorce art from its context and remove the teeth that can bite a again? That's the difference between art and mere diversion.

NB 2024; Alas, Joe saw the writing on the wall and stepped down, which was the right thing to do. Hoping America is progressive enough to elect Kamala.
You posted the wrong old man in the photo, bub.
It never occurred to me it's about Nixon, but the lyrics are spot on.
I never knew EJ's 'Madman' is about Nixon too - somewhat less linearly than this, but hey that's Bernie.

80 years apart. Fraternal twins of different mothers. Same poision.

It's the theme song for American politics, in general. It stands up well after 44 years, eh?
There is something odd about that album cover Bill
Some people have waaaay too much free time.

This gets an ultimate funky 10 in this office. Politically charged stuff like this still needs discussion, sadly. Until things change, but there's no sign of that anytime soon.

Hah! Love that photo.
Album cover fixed.
These lyrics were laid down for just this sort of rancor. The feelings are the same now as then (perhaps even more scary now).

Remarkably timely for the fall of 2016, when we're facing a choice at the ballot box between two corrupt, self-destructive Mussolini wanabees.
I remember going to a mate's party in his college room (small). The room had been completely emptied and filled with a simply infeasible amount of PA kit and any remaining space was filled with sweaty, drunk students (drink under the chin packed)
After 20 mins the hall monitor (post-doc, I think) forced his way into the room, looked at us and the kit for about 20 seconds, shook his head and left.
Words were had the following morning... There wasn't a repeat performance that year.
Sounds like a big time
Pictures or it never happened.

If anything this song is/was an argument in favor of BERNIE SANDERS
The Internet Has Some Theories About Why Trump Kept Sniffing at the DebateBy Margaret Hartmann

What - no Trump?
there was a lot of it back then,
it's real good to hear this today
.
Bill, play 'Pusherman' by Curtis Mayfield
thanks for the consideration
and everything is sounding so good
What - no Trump?
True today.
Doo doo wop
If only...
Nothing makes me chair dance more than this song.
Oh well. . . it must never have happen then. . . it was before the invention of digital imaging and all my money went on vinyl, booze and other entertainment - not photos.
Ha ha. Played this in my bedroom in the early 80s where I stored my PA which at the time was a pair of enormous reflex bins and separate sequential horns powered by a 500 watt marshal amp and another 500 watt slave. . . the windows rattled.
Any advance?
Pictures or it never happened.
Played this full volume on my Sansui quad system - 4 12" woofers, 5" mid + 3" tweeters 100 watts rms each in a 20x25 foot living room concrete apartment overlooking Kai Tak airport in '75.
Yeah baby.

So LowPhreak, you are another pot-smoking hippie left-winger perhaps?
I was just a few years too young to be a hippie (two older sisters kind of were though), and haven't smoked pot in decades, but I am probably a bit left of Che or Ghandi. However, I'm not the one posting that I'm "boycotting" a great artist for no apparently sound reason other than what's seems easy to surmise.
Carry on, numbskulls!

Mr. Wonder is DA MAN.
That's becoming real life
But when misled who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mm hmm

of course but no politics here only music
So what is the insinuation that all Floridians should in some way be viewed as the same? Is there a name for people who view entire generalized groups of other people with their preconceived ideas?
LowPhreak, is it possible that inferring the commenter is a "gun-happy, right-wing" "racist", might not be based on facts present here? I'd be interested to better understand your reasoning, and evidence of this.
My apologies Hippostar. It was meant as an off hand, tongue in cheek joke. I, by no means, feel that all of any collective group are the same. Having apologized...please lighten up a bit ok?
The Troublemakers - Electrorloge
Baby Mammoth - USF
In case anyone cares, I guess. I'm not really a fan of the Troublemakers, but love that song. Huge fan of Baby Mammoth, but not crazy about that song. Neither is as good as the original!

ya'll a bunch a idiots, great music is just that, no mater who dunit.
Why else would someone "boycott Stevie Wonder" in this context? Racism perhaps? Instead of answering to the reason for such idiocy, it's easier to project onto the person asking the question.
Typical response when a position is indefensible.
Let's add some context. Original post to which comment in question was directed:

Wait, see how stupid knee-jerk comments sound?

Stevie Wonder--True master of the Clavinet
The only thing that drags it off 10 is that it almost promises Superstitious and reminds you in doing so that there are better songs
Everybody in my churches be dancing...
And the politics of this particular song certainly resonate with me!
It's really depressing this was posted six years ago and the Orange Shit Stain is still in play.
