Sunday Song Lyric:

[1]Isaac Hayes died last week. Likely best known for the title song to
"[2]Shaft" (and perhaps, to younger generations, for his portrayal of
[3]Chef on South Park), Hayes career as a singer, songwriter, and
producer was actually quite wide ranging.
Reason's Jesse Walker penned a [4]brief tribute to Hayes, and on his
recommendation here's a [5]link to the lyrics of "[6]When Something Is
Wrong with My Baby," recorded by [7]Sam & Dave (and later covered by
the likes of Hall & Oates, Linda Rondstadt and Aaron Neville, and
Travis Tritt and Patti Labelle). Here's how the song begins:
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong is me
And if I know that she's worried
I know I'd feel the same misery
We've been through so much together
We stand as one
That's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
