Sunday morning music


In the light of the recent death of Justice Ginsberg of the Supreme Court, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce readers who don't already know it to Pigmeat Markham's comedy song, "Here Comes the Judge".  Based on his standup comedy routine "Heyeah (here) come da judge", it was a hit in 1968, and is regarded as one of the first rap or hip-hop songs, long before that genre was officially recognized.





And here's the comedy routine that inspired the song.





One trusts the next Justice of the Supreme Court will do as well!

Was a staple on the show "Laugh-In", with Sammy Davis Jr. He made it his own.
