(an dieser stelle lief ein versuch mit "Diddley". amazing.)

eine von zwei personen, von denen ich mir je ein autogramm geholt habe. (der andere war Peter Hein.)

You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree,
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee,
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Oh can't you see,
Oh you misjudge me,
I look like a farmer,
But I'm a lover,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Oh come on in closer baby,
Hear what else I gotta say!
You got your radio turned down too low,
Turn it up!

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane,
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man,
You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

(Die Lyrics-Seite bewirbt Bo Diddley Ringtones: reizvolle Idee.)

... annotationen zu mediumflow's "Über Tiere in der Popmusik", von dem ich gerade netter weise eine vorab-version lesen durfte (in: Ich, das Tier, Reimer-Mann-Verlag, im Erscheinen).

abgesehen von der feststellung eingangs, dass tiere in der popmusik eine eher kleine rolle spielen, werden zwei paradigmen kontrastiert:

(1) wild-animalisch
(2) domestiziert

ad (1)
dazu fallen mir noch spontan Phil Filthy Animal Taylor (Motörhead) und John Cale ein, der 1978 oder so auf der bühne einem (Toten) huhn den kopf angebissen haben soll und den darauf die band flüchtenden musikern ein höhnisches stück widmete (Chicken Shit)

aber vor allem ist es mir ein persönliches anliegen, den maulwurf hinzufügen:

es gibt von den Residents die Mole Show (mit masken, aber ich hab das nie gehört). vor allem aber (Greil Marcus über) Bascam Lamar Lunsford, "I wish I was a Mole in the Ground" (#). hier ein recht hübsches YouTube-home-recording dazu.

Wish I was a mole in the ground,
Wish I was a mole in the ground,
If I's a mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down,
Wish I was a mole in the ground.

Wish I was a lizard in the spring,
Wish I was a lizard in the spring,
If I's a lizard in the spring, I'd hear my darlin' sing,
Wish I was a lizard in the spring.

Wish I was a frog in the fall,
Wish I was a frog in the fall,
If I's a frog in the fall, I'd hear my darlin' call,
Wish I was a frog in the fall.

Honey where you been so long,
Honey where you been so long,
I been out on the bend, with the rough and rowdy men.
Honey where you been so long.

Wish I was a mole in the ground,
Wish I was a mole in the ground,
If I's a mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down,
Wish I was a mole in the ground.

Wish I was a mole in the ground,
Wish I was a mole in the ground,
If I's a mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down,
Wish I was a mole in the ground.

Honey where you been so long,
Honey where you been so long,
I been out on the bend, with the rough and rowdy men.
Honey where you been so long.
