Blues Brothers Green Onions Letras:
Speech by Elwood: All right people. The rest of
the hard working all star Blues Brothers are gonna
be out here in a minute, including my little
brother Jake. But right now, I'd like to talk a
little bit about this tune you're hearing. This is
ofcourse the Green Onions tune. It was a very big
hit in the early sixties in this country. And
ofcourse it was composed and recorded in Memphis,
Tennessee, right here in the United States Of
America. You know, people, I believe that this
tune can be acquinted with the great classical
music around the world. Now you go to Germany,
you've got your Bach, your Beethoven, your
Brahms... Here in America you've got your Fred
McDowell, your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller,
and your Booker T & The MG's, people. Another
example of the great contributions in music and

culture that this country has made around the
world. And as you look around the world today, you
see this country spurned. You see backs turned on
this country. Well people, I'm gonna tell you
something, this continent, North America, is the
stronghold! This is where we're gonna make our
stand in this decade! Yeah, people, I've got
something to say to the State Department. I say
Take that archaic Monroe Doctrine, and that
Marshall Plan that says we're supposed to police
force the world, and throw 'em out! Let's stay
home for the next ten years people! Right here in
North America and enjoy the music and culture that
is ours. Yeah, I got one more thing to say. I'm
just talking about the music, people, and what it
does to me. And that is, as you look around the
world, you go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain
or France, you name it, any country... Everybody
is doing flips and twists just to get into a
genuine pair of American blue jeans! And to hear
this music and we got it all here in America, the
land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!
