WIth very special thanks to The Rationalizer who wrote the lyrics for this beautiful song...

[24:24] Talking hands, talking feet
[41:20] Ears that talk too
[41:20] Talking flesh and eyes
bear witness against you
[2:260] Dissected birds fly home to Abraham
It’s all written here in the Noble Quran

[41:9] The Earth existed
[41:12] Before there were stars
[71:16] The moon emits light
[54:1] and was split in two parts
[105:1] Elephants turned into chewed grass
[105:3] by stones dropped from birds
These are a few of Quran’s perfect words

[29:14] Millennia old men at the time of the flood
[91:2] Your body was fashioned from one clot of blood
[7:189] No evolution
[2:65] but men turn to apes
[4:82] In the Quran you will find no mistakes


When you tell me
Allah will burn me
and it makes me sad
I simply remember these ludicrous things
Then I don’t feel so bad

[2:29] Viruses made just for our delectation
[41:11] From smoke the earth volunteered its own formation

[6:38] Worms in communities
[16:66} Milk from cows’ bellies
Quranic facts with which science agrees

The Quran is perfect, Allah never fibs
[85:5-7] Semen comes from between backbone and ribs
[7:54] The night is a veil with the day underneath
[2:72-73] and the dead can be raised up with slices of beef


[4:11-12] Simple instructions to follow until
 Each relative knows who gets what in a will
[91:1-2] The moon follows the sun
[18:86] Which then sets in the mud
[20:53] The Earth is spread flat
[81:2] and stars fall as they should.


When you tell me
Allah will burn me
and it makes me sad
I simply remember these ludicrous things
Then I don’t feel so bad

When you tell me
Allah will burn me
and it makes me sad
I simply remember such ludicrous things as
[54:22] The Quran is easy to understand

'The Social Power of Music' AVAILABLE 2/22/2019: folkways.si.edu/the-social-power-of-music

MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER

From parties to protests to prayer, music is a powerful catalyst for celebration, for change, and for a sense of community. Through making music together, we become bigger than ourselves. Whether singing with our families and friends or with thousands of strangers in an arena, music transforms lives, engages individuals, and connects local and global communities. The Social Power of Music chronicles the vivid, impassioned, and myriad ways in which music binds, incites, memorializes, and moves groups of people. This richly illustrated 124-page book, with 80+ tracks on 4 CDs, invites listeners into musical practices, episodes, and movements throughout the U.S. and beyond. These songs of struggle, devotion, celebration, and migration remind us that music has the potential to change our world.

The Social Power of Music

The Almanac Singers - Which Side Are You On?

Korobeiniki('"The Peddlers"') is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song that tells the story of a meeting between a peddler and a girl, describing their haggling over goods in a metaphor for courtship.

Outside Russia, "Korobeiniki" is widely known as the Tetris theme, from its appearance in Nintendo's Game Boy version of the game.


Storyline:

Part one
Ivan, the younger of the two peddlers (korobeinikis) seduces Katerina in the fields at night. The girl who is in love with him, chooses to buy just one turquoise ring, refusing to take any presents. Departing, he promises to marry her on return.

Part two
Ivan and Tikhonych enter another village and get surrounded by the local women fascinated by their goods. The old man proves to be a shrewd bargainer; his younger friend is embarrassed by his ways of holding the price.

Part three
Out of the village and seeing a church, Tikhonych becomes remorseful, ashamed of the lies he had to tell poor women. He blames the war for the dire state of the market, with mothers crying for their soldier sons and having no money for dresses and finery.

Part four
In the morning the two continue their journey. Again complaining about the poor trade, Tikhonych blames Paris for the way Russian women have suddenly all gone fashion minded ("Should you dislike your own nose /They'll glue you another one there," goes one line).

Part five
Katerina works alone in the fields. Pining for Ivan whom she badly wants to marry, she extols her own virtues, including good character and the willingness to do all the hard work for her future husband.

Part six
Looking for a shorter way back to Kostroma the travelers find themselves in the moors. A gloomy looking forest ranger with a gun offers himself as a companion. Having figured out there should be a lot of money with the men whose boxes are empty, he robs and kills them. Later in the village's pothouse he launches a spree and inadvertently lets his story out. The police arrives, the murderer is arrested, the dead bodies are found
