Barbra Streisand - Sing Me A Song With Social Significance (Pins and Needles)
I'm tired of moon-songs of star and of June songs,
They simply make me nap
And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic
I think they're all full of pap
History's making, nations are quaking
Why sing of stars above
For while we are waiting father time's creating
New things to be singing of
Sing me a song with social significance
All other tunes are taboo
I want a ditty with heat in it,
Appealing with feeling and meat in it!
Sing me a song with social significance
Or you can sing 'til you're blue
Let meaning shine from ev'ry line
Or I won't love you
Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines
Tell me of front page news
Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines
Dress your observation in syncopation!
Sing me a song with social significance
There's nothing else that will do
It must get hot with what is what
Or I won't love you.
I want a song that's satirical
And putting the mere into miracle
It must be packed with social fact
or I won't love you
Sing me of kings and conf'rences martial
Tell me of mills and mines
Sing me of courts that aren't impartial
What's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm
Sing me a song with social significance
there's nothing else that will do
It must be tense with common sense
or I won't love you.

| @NYCDiva63 I think she was ABOUT the dramatics, early on. She had a beautiful voice but the dramatics were the more compelling part of her performances. Now she's got a pretty voice. And everybody's known she's had a pretty voice for 40 years. Maybe she should camp it up again. She's rich. Why not? Bette Midler still camps it up. And every now and then, Midler really talks to US. Now and then that absolutely honest, moving performance. |
