And Speaking of Richard Nixon...

...as we were yesterday, from their surprisingly terrific 1972 album The Night is Still Young, please enjoy Sha Na Na and their doo-wop ode to participatory democracy, "The Vote Song."



As I mentioned the other week, TNISY is basically the only really worthwhile album Sha Na Na ever made; lots of really sharp originals, like the above, and a cover of "In the Still of the Night" that shreds the original, the whole thing produced to a faretheewell by the great Jeff Barry.

I should add that I got a mordant chuckle out of the Nixon reference when the album originally came out, but two years later I was playing it again and laughing my fucking ass off, for obvious reasons.
