Thread Name: Review: About the Chad Mitchell Trio's satires
Subject: RE: Review: About the Chad Mitchell Trio's satires
Here's an attempt to list all political satirical songs recorded by the Trio. Album first, then song(s).

Live At The Bitter End: The John Birch Society.

Blowin' In The Wind: The Ides of Texas.

These two songs also appear on The Best Of The Chad Mitchell Trio. The John Birch Society is also on Mighty Day - The Chad Mitchell Trio Reunion.

Singin' Our Minds: Alma Mater; Twelve Days.

Reflecting: Barry's Boys; What Did You Learn In School Today

The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio: On That Great Civilized Morning; Draft Dodger Rag; Rhymes For The Irreverent.

On That Great Civilized Morning might also be on Mighty Day - The Chad Mitchell Trio Reunion.

Typical American Boys: Which Hat Shall I Wear; Yowzah.

Which Hat Shall I Wear is also on Mighty Day - The Chad Mitchell Trio Reunion.

That's The Way It's Gonna Be: Lucy Baines; I Was Not A Nazi Polka; Ecumenical March.

Violets Of Dawn: Your Friendly, Liberal, Neighborhood Ku Klux Klan; We Didn't Know; The Sound Of Protest; Business Goes On As Usual.

The Mitchell Trio Alive: What This Country Really Needs Is Another Movie Star.

I know I've missed at least one, the one about Lurleen Wallace - "It's great that you're governor, Lurleen" - was that Alabama Mothers, from The Mitchell Trio Alive?

I've also left out a great many songs that were political, or topical, but not satirical, and a great many that were satirical, but not topical. And of course others may not agree with the categorizations I've made, anyway.
