"Green Onions" by The Blues Brothers

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 & 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!
