Mississippi Goddam by Nina Simone

Artist Biography For Nina Simone

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Mississippi Goddam

The Song Is Her Response To The Murder Of Medgar Evers In Mississippi And The Bombing Of A Church In Birmingham Alabama Killing Four Black Children. On The Recording She Cynically Announces The Song As "a Show Tune But The Show Hasn't Been Written For It Yet." The Song Begins Jauntily With A Show Tune Feel But Demonstrates Its Political Focus Early On With Its Refrain "Alabama's Got Me So Upset Tennessee's Made Me Lose My Rest And Everybody Knows About Mississippi Goddam." In The Song She Rails On The Common Argument At The Time That Civil Rights Activists And African Americans Should "go Slow" And Make Changes In The United States Incrementally "Keep On Sayin' 'go Slow'...To Do Things Gradually Would Bring More Tragedy. Why Don't You See It? Why Don't You Feel It? I Don't Know I Don't Know. You Don't Have To Live Next To Me Just Give Me My Equality!"
