As Republican state legislatures push to disenfranchise millions of black voters ahead of the 2022 election, I suspect you'll be hearing the term "Jim Crow" with ever-increasing frequency.

Crow Jimmy
sonofsaf
Donald Trump’s a prolapse with orange hair
Shithead rep and he doesn’t care
That poor comb it’s all so wrong
Always rotten to the core
Donald Trump’s dead let the good times roll
Always failed and never kept score
What’s his crime? Coup d’etat fo sho
Masturbator, distrust you know
And I say Crow, Jimmy Crow
You can’t vote here
Don’t you know
The way of things to and fro
Low down, crow, crow, crow
Crow, crow
Long tie and a collar’s what he wears
Operates without a god damn care
Look at Donald steal the show
The monopoly of don’t pass go
And I say Crow, Jimmy Crow
You can’t vote here
Don’t you know
The way of things to and fro
Low down, crow, crow, crow
Crow, crow
Voting rights would make us glad
Leave the Republicans oh so sad
Black old ladies status quo
Southern Dems sweet potato
And I say Crow, Jimmy Crow
You can’t vote here
Don’t you know
The way of things to and fro
Low down, crow, crow, crow
Crow, crow
Turn the country upside down
Donald Trump’s a prolapse and a clown
Piece of shit his wife’s a whore
Such bad luck didn’t get four more
And I say Crow, Jimmy Crow
You can’t vote here
Don’t you know
The way of things to and fro
Low down, crow, crow, crow
Crow, crow
Row Jimmy
Grateful Dead
Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back step, like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more
Don't hang your head let the two-time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time? Baby I don't know
Come back later, we'll let it show
And I say row, Jimmy row
Gonna get there?
I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row, row, row
Row, row
Here's my half a dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air
Look at Julie down below
The levee doin the do-pas-o
And I say row, Jimmy, row
Gonna get there?
I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row, row, row
Row, row
Broken heart don't feel so bad
Ain't got half a what you thought you had
Rock your baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow
And I say row, Jimmy, row
Gonna get there?
I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row, row, row
Row, row
That's the way it's been in town
Ever since they tore the juke box down
Two-bit piece don't buy no more
Not so much as it done before
And I say row, Jimmy, row
Gonna get there?
I don't know
Seems a common way to go
Get down, row, row, row
Row, row

One of my favorite Grateful Dead memories was the summer of 1990. The Goodyear blimp hovering above Three Rivers Stadium during a soulful performance of Row Jimmy.
