The Rebel Black Dot Song of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Elvis Costello & the Attractions, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding" from Armed Forces (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:

Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,
I ask myself, 'Is all hope lost?

There's one thing I want to know:
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?…"
