Sex with Sun Ra
from a review of Nuclear War by Sun Ra:
“The album starts off with the title song, which features lyrics and singing by Sun Ra. The song is frightening, but is also funny in a strange way the music itself is very calm and the delivery of the vocals is almost upbeat. The song includes chanting, call-and-response lyrics such as: ‘nuclear war, they’re talking about nuclear war / it’s a MF-er, don’t you know / if they push that button, your ass gotta go / and whatcha gonna do without your ass?’”
What, indeed?
