    The b-side is better, Sick Man Blues, sample:

    I've thrown up over Indians
    I've thrown up over Jews
    Now come on over here baby and I'll throw up over you
    (or was it I've thrown up all over my Blue Suede Shoes, been a long time since I've played it)
    Throw it up, throw it up, up up bluurch!

    7- People who want to share their religious views with you almost
    never want you to share yours with them.
