The Mitchell Trio with John Denver - The Draft Dodger Rag (Live 1968)

Folk group Chad Mitchell Trio, after Chad was replaced by John Denver, sang the Phil Ochs satire "Draft Dodger Rag" in 1968. This is one of the rare occasions where the Denver-led trio sang a song released by the original Chad Mitchell Trio. Another example is "The John Birch Society":    • The Mitchell Trio with John Denver - The J...   The Chad Mitchell Trio released the song in 1964, one year before Phil Ochs put it on his own album. When the trio recorded the song, in addition to the original song that Ochs wrote, they also included a hilarious narrative intro to the song, as can be heard on their album, The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio: We've licked pneumonia and TB and the plagues that used to mock us. We've got the onus on the sun; the smallpox cannot pock us. We've found the antibodies for the staphylostreptococcus. But ahh, the universal curse, from Vietnam to Korea, The bug of bugs that bugs us still and begs for panacea. Oh, who will find the antidote for - pentagonorrhea? The above intro was written by master lyricist Yip Harburg, who wrote lyrics for songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
