not exactly Global Warming, but I think it fits nonetheless...

Big Yellow Taxi ~ Joni Mitchell

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique

And a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees

Put 'em in a tree museum

And they charged the people

A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer

Put away that DDT now

Give me spots on my apples

But leave me the birds and the bees

Please!

Don't it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

Late last night

I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi

Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

and maybe this one too...

After the Goldrush ~ Neil Young

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights

In armor coming,

Saying something about a queen.

There were peasants singing and

Drummers drumming

And the archer split the tree.

There was a fanfare blowing

To the sun

That was floating on the breeze.

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the nineteen seventies.

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes.

I was hoping for replacement

When the sun burst thru the sky.

There was a band playing in my head

And I felt like getting high.

I was thinking about what a

Friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie.

Thinking about what a

Friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver

Space ships flying

In the yellow haze of the sun,

There were children crying

And colors flying

All around the chosen ones.

All in a dream, all in a dream

The loading had begun.

They were flying Mother Nature's

Silver seed to a new home in the sun.

Flying Mother Nature's

Silver seed to a new home...

Crazy Horses ~ The Osmonds is, according to songfacts, about air pollution:

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

There's a message floatin' through the air.

About crazy horses ridin' everywhere.

It's a warning that's on every tongue.

Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run.

There they go, what a show

Smokin' up the sky, yeah.

Crazy horses all got riders,

And they're you and I.

Crazy horses

Crazy horses

They never stop and they never die.

They just keep on goin' how they multiply.

Crazy horses, they never halt

They just keep on goin' and it's all our fault.

There they go, what a show

Smokin' up the sky, yeah.

Crazy horses got their riders,

And they're you and I.

There they go, what a show

Smokin' up the sky, yeah.

Crazy horses got their riders,

And they're you and I.

Nature's Way - Spirit

temporary audio link

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

It's nature's way of telling you in a song

It's nature's way of receiving you

It's nature's way of retrieving you

It's nature's way of telling you

Something's wrong

It's nature's way of telling you, summer breeze

It's nature's way of telling you, dying trees

It's nature's way of receiving you

It's nature's way of retrieving you

It's nature's way of telling you

Something's wrong

It's nature's way, it's nature's way

It's nature's way, it's nature's way

It's nature's way of telling you

Something's wrong

It's nature's way of telling you

In a song, oh-h

It's nature's way of receiving you

It's nature's way

It's nature's way of retrieving you

It's nature's way

It's nature's way of telling you

Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong

This is my kind of global warming....

Heat Wave-Ella Fitzgerald

We're having a heat wave,

A tropical heat wave,

The temperature's rising,

It isn't surprising,

She certainly can can-can.

She started the heat wave

By letting her seat wave and

In such a way that

The customers say that

She certainly can can-can.

Gee, her anatomy

Made the mercury

Jump to ninety-three.

Yes sir!

We're having a heat wave,

A tropical heat wave,

The way that she moves

That thermometer proves

That she certainly can can-can.

Then we can always join Buster and get down to....
