| Additional Information | In 1968, the rock band The Turtles released an album called “The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands”. This concept album consisted of the band pretending to be a series of different groups playing in various styles. One made up band called “Fats Mallard and the Bluegrass Fireball” presented a bluegrass rock track called “Chicken Little was Right”. The song begins with: “Did ya hear what happened to the world today? Somebody came an′ they took it away” leading to environment consciousness undertones throughout the song which was common theme during the 1960’s. |
