You can call me the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah.

Reminds me of a song I wrote in 1980 (I wasn't bothered so much about the holding of American spies as I was about the Ayatollah's banning of music in the street):


I'm a gonna' tell ya' Mr. Ayatollah,
Gonna' sing my song no matter what you say
I'm a gonna' play it on my old Victrola
Gonna' shoo away the Shah and the CIA.

Somebody's got to make some sense.
Somebody's got to move their tents.
Somebody's got to pass a tax,
And somebody's got to pass the gas.

Waltzin' 'round in my new Afghan
Gonna' play my music when and where I can
Ain't gonna' join World War Three
Unless they're playin' my music and payin' me.

So, I'm a gonna' tell ya' Mr. Ayatollah,
Gotta' sing my song no matter what you say
I'm a gonna' play it on my old Victrola
Gonna' shoo away the Shah and the CIA.
