some strange appearences here also,

E-mile suggested me to make an intervention about "paint it black" concerning some recent developments in the "white" house...
I almost evocated the topic while posting Parliament/Chocolate city.
It was so subtile it was hidden.
But you can bet George Clinton is still in this one.

First : Comma or not comma?
Paint it Black.
Paint it, Black.
I vote for Paint it Black Panther.

Black Panther and Captain America

Moreover, everybody knows the Rolling Stones have never been a rock'n roll band.
They always played rythm 'n' blues.

Anyway, the job has been already done in a one piece mix with talking.
(For die hard collectors only).

So paint it my way in 33 messianic foo tracks.
Now you can see clear in my politics.

Go on original :

Go on karaoke :

Go on with Ludacris :

With a little green help for my friends,
Thanks E-mile.
