What a fun contest, handmade34! I loved that you put together the thread with all the songs that inspired the photos in the finals. If anyone missed it, here is the link:

Savoy Brown in 1972, but in my opinion was best rendered by Chuck Berry in 1955 as "Down Bound Train." Some original lyrics:

"The passengers were a most motley crew,
Church members, atheist, Gentile and Jew

Rich men in broadcloth, beggers in rags
Handsome young women, and withered old hags
Yellow and black men, red, brown and white
All chained together Oh! what a sight!"

Strong stuff.
