The Byrds - America's Great National Pastimes video free download
Not yet on YT published song of The Byrds from 1971. Lyrics see below.
Roku 1971 vydala skupina album Farther Along s touto písničkou Velké americké národní zábavy, která se tak trochu satiricky vajadřuje o některých tamnějších lidských zvycích a vlastnostech.. Podíváme-li se do naší současnosti, nacházíme zde hodně společného. Takže, obsah je stále aktuální a navíc - dá se poslouchat.

Written by Skip Battin and Kim Fowley
One of America's great national pastimes
Is drinking a Coke
Taking a smoke
Telling a joke
One of America's great national pastimes
Is playing ball
Taking it all
And thinking so small
But the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
One of America's great national pastimes
Is chocolate fudge
Carrying a grudge
Bribing a judge
One of America's great national pastimes
Is poisoning rain
Acting insane
Inflicting pain
But the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players The hot and tired
The weary and the..
One of America's great national pastimes
Is the worship of speed
Planting her seeds
Taking more than she needs
One of America's great national pastime
Is cutting the grass
Grabbing some ass
Living too fast
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore

I had never heard this song in my life until 2015 lol...but I like it a certain type of novelty but good music and decent lyrics, did it ever get played on Dr. Demento? Maybe not with the 'Grabbin some ass' lyrics.9 years ago

It is election day night and the ballots will be counted and, unless certain states allow dead voters to vote Democratic, we should see a Red State landslide. And why you might ask? No, Ben Cardin you ineffective racist putz, not because Barack is black, it is because he is incompetent. Barack seems like one of the nicest guys in the world and I wish one can just sit down for about fifteen minutes or so and talk sports or music with him, like one of the guys or gals we talk to around the water cooler. Forget politics for once. I disagree with virtually everything he has done politically, but the man is likeable. As for Joe Biden, he would make a great stand up comedian. And after Barack retires as President, I would like to see him star in a movie or television show playing the role of the President of the United States. But I do not want Michele to play his wife. I want Susan Rice. She would be my selection. And there would be quite a few others in the White House (I would place Judd Hirsch in the role of the Vice President), the press, the Congress, the Joint Chiefs, the many antagonists (terrorists but we cannot call them that) and this movie or television show would be seen by tens of millions of viewers. Maybe more viewers than "Scandal". Because, you see, watching television or going to the movies is "One of America's Great National Pastimes" as are several other bits and pieces of Americana as related to us by The Byrds at # 3297. 10 years ago

These guys were so much smarter than the crappy country artists we have these days, too many distorted, right wing views floating around that America is the God's country.13 years ago

One of their (subversive?) best! Anyone know if the story about Coca-Cola rejecting this tune as an advert is true? Myth or fact?14 years ago

Good point, thanks for that. There is a lot of irony in lyrics and probably a goal of such song could be warning, how the pastimes shouldn't be - doesn't matter what country.Related Videos
