Ariel had it closer. It's a pretty old song, before my time, which means it's 3 times as old as half the people here. Should I make the picture easier?

Umm... "Strange fruit"? Though, that's not at all a funny song.

Re: Pictionary
 

Strange Fruit? No way, not funny! But you are in the right era.

Great pic - tough song...

Stone Cold Dead In The Market
(Ella Fitzgerald)
?

Re: Pictionary
 

And Jimbo takes the lead again!

The song, performed by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan, is about a woman who gets beaten up by her drunk husband one too many times, so she finally slugs him in the head with a rolling pin, killing him. She and the (dead) husband trade off lyrics about how his family is going to kill her in revenge, and how she doesn't mind going to the electric chair.

This is all sung in fakey-Jamaicy accents, background music a peppy, danceable beat and an incongruously cheerful trumpet.

Things have really changed a lot in 50 years. :lol:

For the curious, here's a link to part of the song.

Sounds like quite a song Andrew. Thanks for the explanation...

In return I present a spectacularly easy - song.

If you don't get it straight away you should be ashamed of yourself!

In case you didn't see it here's my vote for 'pic of the bunch' so far
