Gold Soundz: A compendium of popular favorites from the annals of Falling and Laughing

Close Drawer

Palace Music, “The Mountain Low”

Other great songs in which imaginary/indecent acts are committed against mountains:

Jimi Hendrix, “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” (“Well I’m standing next to a mountain / I chop it down with the edge of my hand”)
Donovan, “There Is a Mountain” (“First there is a mountain / then there is no mountain / then there is”) (this is one of my all-time favorite songs for serious)

Can you think of any others? Because I am working on a compilation called “If I Could Fuck a Mountain / Voodoo Chop.”
