Nina Simone's "Mississippi Goddamn"
This song is a protest song. Alabama's gotten me so upset, Tennessee made me
lose my rest, And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam Nina is not the happiest
camper at the moment. She is tired of being mistreated and she wants change. All she
wants is her equality. This song revolves around civil rights.
Ani Defranco- Mariachi
Mariachi is a love song. It tells the story of falling in love. Ani sings about if it
was just me. If what she felt was just her.
