La canzone dedicata allo Scorpion https://youtu.be/IbiJR-bqSfw
Phil Ochs usa l'affondamento del sottomarino come allegoria per esprimere il suo crescente senso di disillusione, la disperazione politica dell'epoca (legata alla guerra del Vietnam) e il suo tormento personale.

Cover of #PhilOchs 1960s #KnockOnTheDoor - updated #ICEout song
Now there's many new words and many new names
Uniforms have changed but the knock is the same
The agents of ICE broadcast their raids
They’re trying to make the people afraidOpen your eyes. See what they do
When they knock for your neighbor they're knocking for you.With their knock on the door, knock on the door
Here they come to take one more#BenGrosscup live Jan 2026

Folk group #MitchellTrio, after Chad was replaced by #JohnDenver - sang the #PhilOchs #satire "Draft Dodger Rag" in 1968. This is one of the rare occasions where the Denver-led trio sang a song released by the original #ChadMitchellTrio.
The Chad Mitchell Trio released the song in 1964, one year before Phil Ochs put it on his own album. When the trio recorded the song, in addition to the original song that Ochs wrote, they also included a hilarious narrative intro to the song, as can be heard on their album, The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio:
We've licked pneumonia and TB and the plagues that used to mock us.
We've got the onus on the sun; the smallpox cannot pock us.
We've found the antibodies for the staphylostreptococcus.
But ahh, the universal curse, from Vietnam to Korea,
The bug of bugs that bugs us still and begs for panacea.
Oh, who will find the antidote for - pentagonorrhea?The above intro was written by master lyricist Yip Harburg, who wrote lyrics for songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"

CW: g-slur (for traveling people) used in song lyrics
"The War Is Over" by Phil Ochs – my latest song obsession. Those lyrics, holy shit. He could do bitter sarcasm like nobody else, made all the more powerful by his sweet, smooth voice.
This was written about the Vietnam War but somehow still feels very topical...
