Day 24: A song from the 60s

I'm just gonna snag this while I still can! 😁
+1 Jewish artists
+1 Darkness
+1 for Swarm ("ten thousand people, maybe more")

Fun fact about this song; the original acoustic version wasn't the smash hit that would become a cultural phenomenon. It wasn't until their producer, without informing the duo, remixed the song adding electric guitars and drums that it hit big.

They're both amazing in their own right.
But performed live, the acoustic one is haunting.

Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

A song from the 60s

"The Crucifixion," Phil Ochs

An odd song in a Jewish artist discussing the crucifixion, but he uses it as a larger analogy.

(+1 Jewish Artist+1, Death+1, Blood +1, Swarm (merchants of the masses), Fire+1, Murder +1, Skin (the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat)+1) =7

At first glance… some of these are questionable.

Subject to audit later when I am awake.
 
Landslide. Fleetwood Mac.
All My Tears. Ane Brun.
You are new here, so you get a pass and a warning, just one song per day/prompt please!

Taking liberties and posting twice, different themes though ;)

But YOU are not new. Disqualified from the points challenge. Now… BEND. OVER.

Bonus points!
April Decades Week


Remember. THIS IS FOR FUN. If it’s not fun for you, carry on business as usual and post whatever song you want for that decade.

It’s Passover! This month’s bonus points will be ten plagues themed.
+1 for Jewish artist
+1 for lyrical mention of each of the following:
  • Blood
  • Frogs
  • Bugs
  • Wild beasts
  • Livestock
  • Skin
  • Fire or ice
  • Swarm
  • Darkness
  • Murder
Feel free to get creative with it as long as you explain yourself. For instance, Kelis’ Milkshake bringing all the boys to the yard could get a +1 for swarm.

This is also posted on the first page, second post, for reference throughout the week
Body parts do not count as skin
 
Day 24: A song from the 60s
Oh boy, here we go. Okay. 1963 - Allan Sherman, "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh!"
+1 for being Jewish
+1 for fire or ice ("it stopped hailing")
+1 for wild beasts (alligators, bears)

Can I get a ruling on the following?
"He developed poison ivy" as that trends closely (I think) to the skin diseases of the plagues
Or I might claim the +1 for skin for the line, "You remember Leonard Skinard," but that seems a bit technical.
