Both genres were created by marginalized peoples, be it Jamaicans who flocked from rural locales seeking jobs in the bustling capital Kingston then settled in overcrowded tenement yards often lacking in basic amenities or Americans in the southern Appalachia region residing in economically depressed communities, in near isolation from the rest of the country. As a vital means of expression, each populace fashioned a sonic identity culled from various influences. Jazz, Cuban music, calypso and especially early R&B heard on U.S. radio signals reaching Jamaica were essential components in the creation of the island's first home-grown popular music, ska, in the early 1960s; the frenetic ska beat was slowed down into rocksteady then morphed into reggae by the late 1960s. Bluegrass, the direct forerunner to country music is derived from the English and Scottish ballad tradition and Irish and Scottish fiddle music. African-American blues musicians also played preeminent roles in crafting bluegrass and country's signature instrumentation, most notably through their introduction of the banjo, now regarded as an emblematic representation of the region, into the music. The reggae and country genres are rife with love-gone-wrong songs, romanticized gritty outlaw tales and expressions of unwavering spiritual devotion providing guidance through daily struggles, each delivered in their distinctive regional voices, the molasses thick Jamaican patois heard on many reggae tracks and country's indelible southern twang...

We've been searching all night long but there's no trace to be found It's like they all have just vanished but I know they're around I feel they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow When we start killing it all will be falling down From the Hell that we're in All we are is fading away When we start killing... When we start killing... I feel they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind The sun is rising The screams have gone Too many have fallen Few still stand tall Is this the ending of what we've begun? Will we remember what we've done wrong? When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow When we start killing it all will be falling down From the Hell that we're in All we are is fading away When we start killing... When we start killing... When we start killing...

Sometimes Lehrer himself would cover other people's songs, but they were always credited. "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is a true Tom Lehrer original. Use the link below to read more about the Kreisler/Lehrer discussion: http://home.broadpark.no/~emeyn/tl/kreisler.html Some people have written messages to this channel, angered because of the posting of this song. They are "friends of all animals", which basically means that they didn't get it. Lehrer said that he is OK with "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.
