Just about as anti-rock n roll as you'll find for a song recorded in 1968!

Thanks for the memory!

about an organ trasnplant recipient:

"New, new, my kindey's new
Straight from a man in Kalamazoo,
New, new, my liver's new,
It's guaranteed 'til '72,
New, new, my heart is new
If it gives out, a new one will do

Late last year, when I went insane,
I just shopped for a slightly used brain...

New, new, I'm new, all new
I'm a new man, but I'm not sure who!"

It shows that 1968 wasn't all bad.
