The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKApril!


Ska Cubano, "Jezebel" from ¡Ay Caramba! (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: Yes, I acknowledge the incongruity 'twixt the lyrics of "Jezebel" & the accompanying image, but I consider the thematically complementary nature of the two of overriding importance.
"If ever the Devil was born
Without a pair of horns,
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you…

"If ever a pair of eyes
Promised paradise,
Deceiving me, grieving me, leaving me blue,
Jezebel, it was you.

"If ever the Devil's plan
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you…

If ever the Devil's plan
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Night and day, every way,
Jezebel!
Jezebel!
Jezebel!"
