"Ebony and ivory live side by side on my keyboard/Oh Lord, why can't we?"

I dunno. Maybe because the white keys never enslaved the black keys?

LMAO  

[Bobber]

Please make it stop

Ditto.

Ebony and Ivory is a pretty weak song. It's fodder for airheads; vapid, trite, and entirely without substance.  It's pure Paul. He repeats the same sentiment over and over and it goes nowhere.

Hey, while we're on the subject... Why does everyone in my neighborhood have an little Obama statue in their front yard?

[maccafan]

Probably because they're airheads, vapid, trite, and entirely without substance!

Some people just don't get Ebony and Ivory, it goes over their airheads!

I remember you now!!!!!!!!

I once came into the MaccaRadio.com chat room, and you were there!!!!

I attempted to have a conversation with you, but instead you gushed on and on like a puppy-lovesick schoolgirl for 15 minutes. Not able to take any more of this pathetic schoolgirl-crush monologue, I left and almost had to shove an icepick through my own temple to make the pain go away.

THAT FREAK WAS YOU!!!!!!

[Bobber]

Nice harmonies now. Please allow me to point both of you to this: http://www.dmbeatles.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1154884106/

Oh gee...

There's plenty of slavery going on in Africa right now, without any white people being involved. Enslaving others has gone on since humans first appeared on Earth. Religion, ethnicity, social class, warfare and a slew of other reasons have been used to justify enslaving or killing whole groups of people. Christians were enslaved, Whites enslaved blacks, Nazi Germany tried to eradicate the Jews. It's life. It's history. Everyone is capable of it, so who knows? At some deep genetic level, it's probably instinctual.

Get over it.

Please, get a sense of humour!

Extolling the virtues of racial harmony, 'Ebony and Ivory' might be, but do remember that Obama never really made a point of being black. Hence making an issue of it now (or at the inauguration) would seem, at best, really tacky!

[maccafan]

Bluemeanie, that guy has no sense of humor, he's right about everything, everyone else have no intelligence!

NoNamer, I understand what you're saying, but at the inauguration like it or not, the issue of Obama being black will be one of the main, and I do mean main stories and highlights, as it should be!  

It will be a very very historic moment in history!!

It was a joke, you twit. (rolleyes)

[jjs]

If I do, It will be a very, very historic moment in history.

Sense of humor? That one nearly had me busting a gut!!!!  

[jjs]

It was a joke, you twit. (rolleyes)

It wasn't funny.

But it brings to mind a very, very historic moment in history....

Oh, never mind.

Hey has anyone noticed that the white keys all sound good together when played, and the black keys all sound good together when played, but they don't sound particularly good when randomly mixed? Also, didja know that even-tempered instruments like pianos, for example aren't in perfect harmony?

Sure they do, it's called "jazz".

[Hello Goodbye]

What if Frank Sinatra recorded Ebony And Ivory with Stevie Wonder instead of that Beatle kid that looks like a broad...

Holy thread revival, Batman!

And the song hasent gotten any better.

[Loco Mo]

I've always liked this song.  It's very catchy and tuneful.  Like it?  I love it!  Yeppers.

[tkitna]

Everybody has their own taste, but I feel 'Ebony and Ivory' detracts from Tug Of Wars greatness.  Its like an ugly wart that needs removed from a super models face.  Its the only bad song on that record.
