Don't you lie to me blues



I am taking a short break from the third or fourth tedious redrafting of my response to Toyota's settlement proposal.

Meanwhile, for those humans who are still subject to Toyota UA and all the ongoing silence and denials, which in my view constitute fraudulent concealment of a potentially lethal safety defect, here is a classic blues tune. Take your pick of artist. Personally, I like them all.

Toyota, this may give you a more complete understanding of how Americans feel about being lied to: "Makes me mad."

Tampa Red - Don't you lie to me

Rolling Stones - Don't you lie to me

Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan - Don't you lie to me

Chuck Berry - Don't you lie to me

Gary Moore - Don't you lie to me

BB King - Don't you lie to me

Fats Domino - Don't you lie to me

Junior Wells - Don't you lie to me

Tim Timebomb - Don't you lie to me

Snooks Eaglin - Don't you lie to me

Betty Semper/Joachim Palden - Don't you lie to me

Marjo - Don't you lie to me


Let's talk it over, baby
'For we start
I hear about the way
You overdo your part

But don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
It makes me mad
An I get evil as a man can be

There's two kind-a people
That I just can't stand
An that's a lyin' woman
An a sneakin' man

But don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
An I get evil as a man can be

Here's a proposition
I will give to you
I'll give you all my jelly
If you gimme yours, too

But don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
It makes me mad
An I get evil as a man can be

I'll be with you
'Till the cows come home
But mama, please don't let me
Catch you gettin' down wrong

And don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
An I get evil as a man can be

But don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
An I get evil as a man can be.
