Whose that girl?





look what they done to my thong ma
look what they done to my thong
well it's just not fair
that it’s totally filled with hair
and it's turning out all wrong ma


look what they done to my thong
look what they done to my thang ma
look what they done to my thang
well they picked it like a chicken bone
and i think i'm half insane ma
look what they done to my thong.


wish i could find a good book to live in
wish i could find a good book
well if i could find a real good book
i'd never have to come out and
look atwhat they done to my thong!

First, that song makes me want to travel back in time and kill every Hippie.

Second, I have no idea who that girl is.

Third, my only thought is Patti Davis, since it sorta looks like her and I hate her.

Sorry.

Some Polish-type name i can't remember. Of 'I Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates' fame.

Melanie Safka. I knew it from the photo and didn't even need Trooper's hints.

This was MY era. In fact, I still have the album that I bought back then. It is now officially an antique, just like the ideas and clothing of the era :-)

She was actually quite good and had a unique voice.

Here is her doing a cover of a Rolling Stones song on The Ed Sullivan Show. I bet Trooper remembers THAT show. I never listened to the words of that song until she sang it.

Dust in the Wind. That's all we are.....dust in the wind dudes.

She was pretty much a one trick pony though. Most of her songs have the same tempo and key. She didn't last much longer than that particular phase of Hippiedom.
