Stealers Wheel ~ Stuck In The Middle With You

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

biggrin One of my favorites from the seventies!!!!

BTW, When Sheryl Crow put out "All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun)", I kept thinking, "She's been listening to 'Stuck In The Middle With You' quite a lot", lol

^^I thought All I Wanna Do was based on some other song, but I can't think of the name right now.

This is supposed to be the anti Bob Dylan Dylan song as legend has it. The guy wrote it to mock all the Dylan praise once he went electric. Much to his chagrin it became a hit and pop culture when Tarantino used it in Reservoir Dogs .

The scene that it was used in, has always bugged me. I have yet to figure out, how the radio comes on.
