Default Murrow - Black Betty
As much as I've read about the song Murrow I've never seen it mentioned that the song samples Black Betty (...had a child ...damn thing went wild). I just needed to know that there was something out there discussing the fact that BB was used... Feel free to discuss. Like it? Dislike it?

It's a bit harder to notice in the studio version because of the other vocals doing the syncopated parts but if you listen to the Soundstage version then it's really very, very easy to hear.

BLACK BETTY
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The d**n thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
MURROW TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE
Ed Murrow had a child the d**n thing went wild
Fascinating.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

The "Murrow turning over" lines are the "Whoa Black Betty" lines as well

As a Mac fan, I am very ashamed to admit, I have NEVER heard Murrow

I personally don't think your missing out on much...

I'm not a huge fan of the song myself...
