All right people
The rest of the hard working all star
Blues Brothers are gonna be out here in a minute
including my little brother Jake
But right now
I'd like to talk a little bit about this tune you're hearing
This is ofcourse the Green Onions tune
It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country
And ofcourse it was composed and recorded in
Memphis, Tennessee, right here in the United States Of America
You know, people, I believe that this tune can be acquinted
with the great classical music around the world
Now you go to Germany
you've got your Bach, your Beethoven, your Brahms
Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell
your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller
and your Booker T and The MG's, people
Another example of the great contributions in music
and culture that this country has made around the world
And as you look around the world today, you see this country spurned
You see backs turned on this country
Well people, I'm gonna tell you something
this continent, North America, is the stronghold
This is where we're gonna make our stand in this decade
Yeah, people, I've got something to say to the State Department
I say Take that archaic Monroe Doctrine
and that Marshall Plan that says we're supposed to police force the world
and throw 'em out Let's stay home for the next ten years people
Right here in North America and enjoy the music and culture that is ours
Yeah, I got one more thing to say
I'm just talking about the music, people, and what it does to me
And that is, as you look around the world
you go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain or France
you name it, any country
Everybody is doing flips and twists
just to get into a genuine pair of American blue jeans
And to hear this music and we got it all here in America
the land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine
