The R.B.D. Black History Month Song o' the Day

Otis Redding, "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" from Platoon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"Looks like nothing's gonna change,
Everything still remains the same,
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I'll remain the same.

"Yes, sittin' here restin' my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone,
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home.

"Now I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tide roll away,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.

(whistled outro)"
