Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

There's maybe 50 songs that have actually made a difference in my life, many more that I have loved, but maybe 50 that really moved the dial for me, opened a window where i had only seen a wall. Of those this song is in the top 5.

Give your self to it and you will be changed.


Tom Waits
The Ice Man's mule is parked
Outside the bar
Where a man with missing fingers
Plays a strange guitar
And the German dwarf
Dances with the butcher's son
And a little rain never hurt noone
And a little rain never hurt noone
They're dancing on the roof
And the ceiling's coming down
I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves
A little trouble makes it worth the going
And a little rain never hurt noone
The world is round
And so I'll go around
You must risk something that matters
My hands are strong
I'll take any man here
If it's worth the going
It's worth the ride
She was fifteen years old
And never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
was "I love you mom"
And a little rain
Never hurt noone
And a little rain
Never hurt noone

But--did they, as in everybody, dance that well way back when?

I think there will always be more onlookers than dancers.
But if you were social I think you pretty much had to learn at lest a bit....though I never did! LOL
 
"There's a sadness at the heart of things"

This song somehow invokes and soothes that sorrow for me.
