From evening number one, at the generally excellent Democratic National Convention:
Excellent, indeed!
Both Steve H. and John Hinderaker1 singled it out (the latter deludedly claiming that police are being abused, these days) for derision. So… of course it is staying here.
Out now… grinning!

1. Hinderaker notes the lyric “what a field day — for the heat…” — which of course, was in the 60s a euphemism for the police — the heat. The original was released in December of 1966. I do remember it clearly: two years hence, as a protest song, this was it — referring later to the brutality of the Chicago cops at the ’68 Democratic convention (where one Bernie Sanders was beaten and arrested)… John implies that it is the police who are mostly being beaten in the streets, these days. Not even his own undercut remix supports the telling.
He is… one precious… lost little lamb, of course. Out.
