Philosophy of the world – The Shaggs

This is a signature song by The Shaggs, a band with a unique character that emerged in the 1960s.

Included on the album “Philosophy of the World,” the track presents an intriguing reflection on people’s desires and satisfaction.

The lyrics portray human nature in which different groups—such as the rich and the poor, or the overweight and the thin—long for what the other has.

It sharply points out the contradiction of human society: no matter what you do, someone will disagree.

Recorded in a single day in March 1969 at a studio in Massachusetts, the song later gained a cult following for its distinctive performance style and unconventional lyrics.

It’s a track praised by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.
