<DIV>Yes, I wonder too, but not really all that much. McLean was (is) an
excellent songwriter and performer, with a wide range thematically,
stylistically, and vocally. He liked not ever having to work again after
American Pie, but it probably prejudiced a lot of people towards him. By the
way, I'll be playing this song on News from Neptune, radio version, Saturday
at 10 on WEFT.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Wow! I've always hated Don McLean's music, never came across this
song. Who knew that he was right up there as a songwriter with Bob
Dylan? I wonder why this one didn't become more popular with the
anti-war crowd?</DIV>

<DIV>Don McLean wrote this song in 1971, the same year he wrote the
obviously more popular but not nearly as good "American Pie." The satirical
allegory is intended:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait at my command<BR>My gold lies
in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand<BR>The angels guide my ev'ry
tread, my enemies are sick or dead<BR>But all the victories I've led haven't
brought you to my bed<BR><BR>CHORUS:<BR>You see, everybody loves me, baby,
what's the matter with you?<BR>Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend
you?<BR><BR>Now the purest race I've bred for thee to live in my
democracy<BR>And the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy
baby<BR>And my face on ev'ry coin engraved, the anarchists are all
enslaved<BR>My own flag is forever waved by the grateful people I have
saved<BR><BR>CHORUS:<BR>You see, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter
with you?<BR>Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?<BR><BR>Now, no
land is beyond my claim when land is seized in the people's name<BR>By evil
men who rob and maim, if war is hell, I'm not to blame!<BR>Why, you can't
blame me, I'm Heaven's child, I'm the second son of Mary mild<BR>And I'm
twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just
smiled<BR><BR>Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds
dissolve and the sky turns blue<BR>I'm held in very great value by everyone
I meet but you<BR>'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some
bad, I've done some good<BR>I did a whole lot better than they thought I
would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!<BR><BR>Because everybody loves
me, baby, what's the matter with you?<BR>tell me what did I do to offend
you? <whoo, yeah!><BR><BR>Everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter
with you?<BR>tell me what did I do to offend you?<BR><BR>Yeah, everybody
