Randy Newman : Sail Away
Genre: Postmodern Pop	Dates: 1971

Opening with a dark joke about the Middle Passage narrated by a slave trader and closing with a dark joke about mankind narrated by God, Newman updates Tin Pan Alley for the post-Atomic, post-Vietnam age. You will laugh—uncomfortably (which is what that "post-" stuff is all about).
