Julian Cope: World Shut Your Mouth

Are you tired of hearing about what the world thinks about America? Do you even care?

British rocker Julian Cope had the musical answer to what the world thinks in 1986:

World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth



Cope, who began his career with The Teardrop Explodes, has written a couple of critically-acclaimed books on ancient stone circles, "The Modern Antiquarian: A Pre-Millennial Odyssey Through Megalithic Britain" and "The Megalithic European: The 21st Century Traveller in Prehistoric Europe."

Many rockers fashion themselves as intellectuals--Are you reading this, Bono?--Cope delivers the goods.

Oh...one more thing: World Shut Your Mouth.
