The Leica Camera Song

Oh Lord won't you buy me an old Leica M,

A two or a three, a four or a six,

But never a five, or a seven or eight,

'Cause I stick with the classics,

That's been my fate
 
In the iTunes Store, it's by far his most popular song. 'Chicken Liver Blues' comes in 2nd. 😱

The lyrics are priceless ...

Well I'll take her up to Heaven
because she's been through Hell

This ol' Leica Camera
that Oscar Barnack built so well
 
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Leica M9,
Swap out the chip from this M8 of mine.
Bend physic's laws with full frame this time,
Oh Lord won't you by me a Leica M9?

Oh Lord, won't you create a Leica M9,
My lenses are waiting with bokeh so fine.
Those circles' confusion have muddled my mind,
Oh Lord, won't you create a Leica M9?

Oh Lord, won't you upgrade my Leica M8?
My bank account's empty, but this is my fate.
My shutters are silent when I have to wait,
Oh Lord, won't you upgrade my Leica M8?

Heh heh. With apologies to Janice.

Applause!!!!!
 
That's a good way to sell any song as an MP3..
I have just started a country folk song:

"The ballad of an Hasselblad"

and a Blues for:

"gimme some bacon and a Zeiss Ikon"

who won't put a buck on a song about his prefered camera gear??

I'm sure it will cover for my next lens...😀
 
Keeping the theme going:

Oh lord, won't you buy me an M3 in black,
One where the finish has brassed out and cracked,
I swear that I'll shoot it, with Tri-x that's a fact,
Oh lord, won't you buy me an M3 in black.

Oh lord, won't you buy me a noctilux lens,
The flash on my camera blinds all my friends,
The future of my work on this glass depends,
Oh lord, won't you buy me a noctilux lens.

Oh lord, won't you buy me an A&A case,
With all this equipment, my bag must keep pace,
A domke or a lowepro would just be a waste,
So lord, won't you buy me an A&A case.
