"Somerville" by David Misch

This song is from the early 70's. It makes fun of the city of Somerville, Mass. It's pretty funny, especially if you grew up there. I made this video to get this song out. Check it out!!

Judge John Hodgman brought me here. Sweet song.

If you look close enough you may see me in that ice skating pic of LINCOLN park when they would flood A diamond for the winter skaters. My first time on skates was probably near or after World War 2. Those were memorable times.

This video is genius! And I am in no way David Misch, why would you even think that?

I remember the uproar your song caused back in the day! I first heard it on the old WCAS and found it wildly funny and affectionate. I'm just sorry you felt the need to change "a sub shop" to "a hilltop." Damn curmudgeons.

can anyone tell me the name of that tall whole tower...in my mind I can see it on a hill outside of union sq

[@normanwyatt8761]

It's the Prospect Hill Tower, but residents of Somerville in the 40's and 50's called it the High Tower.........

@@normanwyatt8761the high tower, that's what we called it in the 70s/80s. I still tell the story of when I broke my knee jumping off the high tower. ☮️
