Subject: Bob Neuwirth, Kindred Soul to Gumbyfan… Gone at 82
Written By: LyricBoy on 05/20/22 at 4:59 am
Renowned musician and songwriter Bob Neuwirth, associate of luminaries such as Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin, has passed away at the age of 82. :\'(

Likely his best known composition was the hit single Mercedes Benz, sung by the late, great Janis Joplin. Indeed it was a timeless ode to panhandling. If he had written it in the 2000s, perhaps he would have asked The Almighty for an iPod. ;D
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So, oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So, oh, Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me an Apple iPod?
I ask this sincerely, a good child of God
Don’t need fancy clothing, Don’t wear no Izod
So Lord, won’t you buy me an Apple iPod?

I saw Bob Neuwirth with Bob Dylan on the famed Rolling Thunder Review tour back in 1975. I also have a couple of his albums. There's one called "Back To The Front" that isn't much known, but it's got some excellent, laid back songs. He was a seminal, if somewhat "behind the scenes" figure in music and 1960s culture.

I thought so, too.
Mercedes Benz is a song that I sing all the time. I like to think that I do a half-way decent rendition of it. (BTW, LyricBoy, you forgot the last verse-Night on the Town. )
